Using well-organized and properly maintained checklists in Jira issues can help your team tremendously in its struggles to manage and distribute tasks effectively. As with everything in this prone-to-forgetting universe, some crucial tasks that must be completed before marking a given issue as "Done" will be forgotten once…

Automatically adding checklists to each new Jira issue is a desired functionality. One typical use case is having the “Definition of Done” available by default in each new issue, to make sure that either developers or testers take time to verify if the task is done by the definition the team agreed to follow. Another…

Keeping track of bugs reported during test executions is an important part of assuring the quality of the product. It can help us make sure that the bugs are appropriately taken care of. Additionally, we can use this information for further analysis, such as which parts of the system are causing the most problems. Testers…

What does it mean that the Product Backlog item, usually represented as an issue in Jira, is “Done”? It can stand for all kinds of different things to the Scrum Team members and stakeholders. Has the change been deployed to the test instance? Has it been tested, and if so, how? Has the documentation been updated yet? All…

A test case is a definition of all the necessary steps, inputs, conditions, and expected results that allow one to thoroughly test a given feature or case. A definitive advantage of having and maintaining test cases is the ability to standardize what is tested and how it is done. This standardization allows keeping a…

Hello everyone, we are currently developing an Atlassian Connect app that stores data in a custom field of a JSON type. This works fine, however, by default JIRA keeps track of any changes made to that field and displays those changes in the history/activity stream. This quickly produces a long wall of text (JSON changes)…

QAlity - Test Management for Jira and QAlity Plus - Test Management for Jira are test management tools available for Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center. Even though QAlity is capable of configuring most of the required things upon install, there’s just a tiny bit of the configuration required on your side as well. This short…

Test management tools can be of great help to testers. They allow your quality control specialists to create tests and capture test results, organize and manage the testing process, and much more. On the other hand, without some essential knowledge of the tool capabilities, it may turn out that your testers are not as…

Hello Solution Partners! My name is Sebastian and I'm Head of Products at SolDevelo - Gold Marketplace Partner. I and my colleagues are currently investigating the possibility of improving our cooperation with Solution Partners. We want to launch a program where we offer additional discounts that you could use with your…

Hi All! Our developers use a code review checklist that helps them make sure they remember the most crucial things to verify on submitted pull requests. Such a checklist is currently kept separately on Confluence. They would like to move it to Bitbucket so that it's on sight when they perform a code review. Are there any…

Test management is an inevitable part of a software development life cycle. It isn’t a big surprise that the customers of the powerful project management, task, and bug tracking tool - Jira, often look for solutions that can expand its capabilities with additional quality assurance features. While the Atlassian Marketplace…

Consider the following workflow: * You develop a set of requirements and place them inside a Jira issue. If you work in an agile team, it might be a user story. * The Jira issue is handed off to the development team for implementation. * The development team implements the feature and notifies the QA team to test what they…

Hi everyone, I'm trying to run the full re-index with Jira 8.5.0 but I'm always getting the following error: The logs are only showing some very generic two errors: com.atlassian.jira.index.IndexingFailureException: Indexing completed with 1 errors at…

Many test management apps on the Atlassian Marketplace, including QAlity - Test Management for Jira and QAlity Plus - Test Management for Jira introduce new issue types to the ones that are already defined on your Jira instance. The new “QAlity Test” issue type helps easily recognize tickets related to the test case, link…

Hello everyone and happy Thursday! Being able to add and use checklists directly in Jira issues is something many users ask about. They are also quite popular on Trello. It is therefore not a surprise that there are a few apps on the Atlassian Marketplace available that extend the Jira issue view with checklists.…

Not all things are either black or white — and the same goes for Jira checklist items. If your only options are to mark them as done or not done, you lose the nuance of real progress. That’s where custom checklist statuses come in. They let you reflect the true state of each item, whether it's in progress, blocked, under…

Did you know that the name JIRA comes from Godzilla? To be precise, it is derived from the Japanese word “Gojira” describing the mythical and strong ‘king of the monsters’. And to be honest, this couldn’t be more accurate. Jira, developed by the Australian company Atlassian and first released in 2002, is the real king…

Actionable checklists are a great enhancement of Jira issues. Rather than using bullet lists within the issue description or subtasks, they allow you to add multiple checklists and enhance your everyday workflow by checking off things that are completed. Checklists give you a clear overview of the tasks that have been done…

Hi everyone, As the title states, is there any way to post custom content in the activity stream of a Jira issue for the Atlassian Connect apps? I know that this is achievable with the Atlassian SDK, but I wasn't able to find anything similar in the connect docs. If that's not possible, what would be the closest…
