Hands-On Test Management with Jira

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.

Chapter 7. Test Execution Phase

Now that we understand what the test design phase is, it's time to move on to the next phase, that is, the test execution phase. This is a phase in the software testing life cycle where the build code is validated using the test cases that were designed and created in the test design phase.

While the development team is busy building the code for the application, the test team gears up the test design and test cycle preparation phases. It also utilizes this time to prepare test environments and test data. The team then starts the execution of the test cases, but only after the latest code changes have been deployed in the test environment or when the first testable components have been deployed for testing. Once the test environment is ready for testing, the test team performs a pretest to see whether the components are complete with respect to the expected functionality and thus are testable.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
