We've started to use JIRA within our company and we've tried to keep things as simple as possible. What is causing us some pain is with the management of post-live testing tasks.
Our current process is simplified as:
- Workflow:
- Build
- Code Review
- Test
- Done
- Release version
- Post Live Testing / Sign-off
We have user-stories with sub-tasks of: build, code review, test & post-live testing.
The issue that we have with approach is that we can't mark all sub-tasks as done because the story needs to be released to live prior to starting the post-live testing sub-task.
I appreciate that we could release user-stories that aren't fully done, however, I don't like the idea of doing this from a reporting perspective.
Is it better to have the Post-Live Testing task as a separate user-story/task linked to the user-stories that have been released?
How do you manage post-live testing tasks within your projects?
