My client plans to use Jira for HW test case management & HW bug management. The client works with large number of external vendors on testing.
My client's scenario: They have let's say 100 HW test cases defined for a project. They...
- Need to assign 5 to one Vendor A, 10 to Vendor B, and so on.
- Want the vendor to see selected information about the test case and also keep all the information about the test cases in a single record. For example, they have internal information which they do not want the vendors to see.
- Need the vendor to update test case results and upload test result files.
- Want vendors to be able to report bugs and link the bugs to the test cases.
- Need to define the test cases ideally in a single project, see the results of all the test cases and create dashboards ideally from a single project.
What is the recommendation for setting up projects and permissions for this scenario?
- Can Jira classic projects be configured to limit access to specific issues/vendor? This would allow my client to house their test cases in a single project making it easier to manage them.
- Can Jira classic projects be configured to limit access to specific fields/vendor?
- What is better - project/vendor OR single project with issues/vendor?
Thanks all for any insights you can provide.
