Traceability on Confluence?

We create and operate the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) in Jira.

 

We manage traceability with other documents other than SRS using the Jira link function. (Check for missing documents)

 

However, many developers prefer to use Confluence rather than SRS to create SRS.

However, I am unable to find a way to check traceability when operating SRS based on Confluence.

 

In the end, I think the only way is for the author to manually create a table.

 

Is there a way to operate traceability functionally based on Confluence?

 

Thank you.

Hi @sangsub.kim 

If you ever think of migrating to Confluence Cloud, feel free to check our QC Traceability app. This app is designed to help organizations manage their requirements traceability easily and generate important traceability matrices.

I'm sorry we don't have a solution for the Confluence Server, but if at any point you decide to migrate to Cloud we would be more than happy to help you if you think our app suits your needs😊

Hi @sangsub.kim  ,

There's also an app for Confluence named Xray Reports for Confluence that can serve exactly this purpose, if you're using Xray for Test Management.

This app allows you to embed testing reports, based on data from Xray Test Management, directly into your pages in Confluence. It provides several macros tailored for this, that allow you, for example, to track traceability.

It is a macro that provides preview on the results, before publishing the page, and allows interaction with the chart, for example to expand epics and see the related story issues.

 

To get it working, you'll need to follow these steps, which require installing not just this app on Confluence but also a "Connector" app in your Jira instance:

  1. install the Xray Reports Connector for Jira app on your Jira cloud instance
  2. install the Xray Reports app in your Confluence cloud instance
  3. configure the Xray API client id and client secret on the settings of the Xray Reports for Confluence app; you need to obtain the client id and client secret from your Xray API Key settings, in your Jira cloud instance

More info on the installation steps here.

Do you know Requirement Yogi?

It is an app with the purpose of making Confluence able to work with requirements. It comes with a plethora of features that enable that. I strongly suggest you try it.

There's Confluence Databases, a native Confluence tool currently in Beta, but it's Cloud only.

Maybe there's a similar app for Server.
