We are using Jira with both Zephyr and Greenhopper together. I would like to be able to use the chart board for tracking our release progress, but we have to leave our "test case" issue types open for Zephyr. So we wind up with tons of open/in progress issues for the release (the test cases) which makes the release look like it's going very poorly indeed from a burndown perspective.
Our current process is to create a Story with a point estimate, add subtasks for development tasks with time estimates and then link the test case issue to the Story to show the relationship. The QA team also adds subtasks to the story for creating and executing the test case.
Does anyone else use both Zephyr and Greenhopper together? And have you found a way to make them work better together? Or at a minimum, have you found a way to exclude test case issue types from the chart boards?
