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.

Adding test cases to the test cycle from the same project


Since we have already worked on the necessary test cases, they are ready to use and we can add them to a test cycle. Adding test cases from the current project is done by dragging and dropping or linking the test cases into the newly created test cycles. Let's look at how we can create and initialize test cycles. Once we have created test cycles, we can add test cases to them, update test cycles, and then commence with the test execution phase.

Initializing test cycles

Test cases are grouped to form test cycles or test iterations. Before we commence the execution of a cycle, it's important to check whether we have added the complete set of test cases that are required to verify a feature request. You should check the following before initializing a test cycle:

  • The current build version that the testing will be performed against
  • The test environment where the testing will be performed
  • The execution start and end date
  • The test cases should...
