Chapter 6.  Sample Implementation of Use Cases

You have already learned about customization for test management by modifying JIRA's configuration as well as using the popular Zephyr add-on. This chapter will not repeat these configurations; rather, it will present sample data in order to create various use cases that can be implemented in JIRA. This chapter will cover the issue types usually required, the custom fields to add, and workflow examples.
