1. Create requirements in Jama Connect that you can associate with tests executed by Parasoft tools. 

2. In your test file, map the Jama Connect system requirement IDs to the tests using the following annotation format:
   

   * The following annotation maps the test to a requirement: * @req <Jama System Requirement ID>  @TEST ...

   
   

   • Use the @test <Jama Test ID> annotation to associate tests with test definitions in Jama. When using @test make sure that you have no test case steps defined in the tests whose run statuses you plan to send from Parasoft DTP to Jama. Parasoft DTP is not able to update test case runs for test cases which have steps defined.

   • Use the @req <Jama Story ID> annotation to associate tests with stories in Jama. When using @req make sure the following relation type is defined in the Jama project you plan to send results to: "verified by". Such relation is needed by Parasoft DTP when it creates a test case in Jama and relates it to requirement in Jama.

   Annotating tests links them to entities in Jama Connect so that they can be visualized in DTP reports. The annotation is added to the unit test file for Parasoft language tools (i.e., C/C++test, dotTEST, Jtest). For functional tests executed with SOAtest, the annotation is added to the .tst file. Refer to your Parasoft tool documentation for details on adding annotations. You must use the ID from Jama Connect URL and not the ID generated in the UI:

     
3. Execute your tests as part of the CI process. You can also manually execute the tests from the IDE.
4. As part of the test execution, Parasoft test execution tools will tag the results with the filter and build IDs and send the data to DTP. You can verify the results in DTP by adding Test Widgets to your DTP dashboard and setting the filter and build ID. Developers can download the test execution data from DTP into their IDEs so that they can address any failed tests.
   

5. If you deployed the Sending Test Data to External System flow (see Deploying the Sending Test Data to External System Flow), then unit and functional testing results will automatically be sent to Jama Connect when Data Collector receives the data from the Parasoft tool. By default, the flow forwards unit and functional test results that were received by Data Collector for any project, but you can configure the flow to only send data for a specific project (see Sending Results from a Specific DTP Project). 
   You can also manually send a POST request to the DTP REST API endpoint to send results from the DTP database to Jama Connect. Pass the IDs for the DTP filter and build, as well as the ID for a set of Jama test cases, as URL parameters in the API call:
   

   Code Block
   language text
   curl -X POST -u <username>:<password> "http://<host>:<port>/grs/api/v1.7/linkedApps/configurations/1/syncTestCases?filterId=<filterID>&buildId=<buildID>&testCaseSetId=<JAMA_TEST_CASE_SET_ID>"

   The filter and build IDs are available in the Test Explorer URL:
    
   

   The following table describes the endpoint parameters.

   Parameter	Value	Description	Required
   filterId	integer	Specifies the filter ID containing the test data. The filter ID is an integer value and should not be confused with the filter name.	Required
   buildId	string	Specifies the build ID containing the test data.	Required
   groupResultsBySOAtestTST	boolean	Setting to true groups SOAtest results by .tst file. As a result, one .tst file will be associated with one Jama test. Setting to false associates each test step within a SOAtest .tst with a Jama test. Default is false	Optional
   testCaseSetId	ID of set of test cases	Specifies the ID of a test case set in Jama where Parasoft DTP should create new test case definitions, if not found in Jama. When a test case definition is found in Jama, whether in this testCaseSetId or another, it is just updated and not moved to this specific test case set.  The value for the testCaseSetID parameter should be an ID for a "Set of Test Cases" item type in Jama (see Requirements). You must use the ID from Jama Connect URL and not the ID generated in the UI. You can get the ID from the URL after clicking on the test cases node in the project tree.	Optional

   
   The set of test cases is the item where DTP can create new test cases as necessary. DTP will create new test cases when it sends results to Jama Connect if equivalent test cases do not exist, as described in the next step.  
   

6. DTP will locate the test results that match the filterId and buildId parameters and send the data to the Jama Connect system requirements. 
   • When DTP locates results with an @req <ID>, it will search for a matching item in Jama Connect. If a match is found, test results will be added to the test cases associated with the item. If there are no test cases for the requirement ID, then test cases will be created and test runs will be added to them.
   • An external-app-sync.log file will also be written to the the <DTP_INSTALL>/logs directory. This log file contains progress information about sending test results from DTP to Jama Connect.
