By: Afsana Atar

Overview of this book

Hands-On Test Management with Jira begins by introducing you to the basic concepts of Jira and takes you through real-world software testing processes followed by various organizations. As you progress through the chapters, the book explores and compares the three most popular Jira plugins—Zephyr, Test Management, and synapseRT. With this book, you’ll gain a practical understanding of test management processes using Jira. You’ll learn how to create and manage projects, create Jira tickets to manage customer requirements, and track Jira tickets. You’ll also understand how to develop test plans, test cases, and test suites, and create defects and requirement traceability matrices, as well as generating reports in Jira. Toward the end, you’ll understand how Jira can help the SQA teams to use the DevOps pipeline for automating execution and managing test cases. You’ll get to grips with configuring Jira with Jenkins to execute automated test cases in Selenium. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a clear understanding of how to model and implement test management processes using Jira.

It is useful to track the progress of test execution based on the cycle or iteration. If the iteration or test cycle is a part of the test plan, then generating a test plan execution report gives us clarity about the currently executed test cases and their statuses.

Let's generate a test plan execution report using Jira plugins.

synapseRT

synapseRT has an option to generate a test plan execution report, with the help of which a project team can track the progress of the current execution:

  1. synapseRT has a SynapseRT Reports tab from where we can select the Test Plan Execution Report option to customize and generate the test plan execution report.
  2. As shown in the following screenshot, we have the option to select the Test Plan and specific cycle, or all the cycles, along with the test case execution status...
