In this chapter, we covered how each phase of test management can be performed using the Test Management plugins in Jira. We also compared the features provided by each plugin. Requirements are the documented needs of the end user, which are captured in Jira using issue types. We learned to add and modify issue types and workflows for use in our projects in Jira. Test cases can be organized based on components or requirements using test suites. We saw how test suites can be created in Jira using the plugins. Planning is essential to manage the testing phase. The test plan enables us to strategize how tests will be executed. We compared how each plugin provides the test plan feature. Traceability reports help us backtrack defects to test cases and requirements. We explored how each plugin provides its version of traceability reports.
