Requirements and Test Management in Jira Align

[Dewangi Jadeja]

Like Jira, does Jira Align have Requirements and Test Management tree-structured create/view capability?

Hi @Dewangi Jadeja,

I read two inputs of you, one in summary and one the answer to Craig. And I want to be sure that I got you correctly. That's why I offer two possible ways:

Regarding Enterprise agile product planing:

This aspect covers Program and Portfolio Management.

Jira Align is powerful with drill down - work structure visualisation. But we have to clarify the purpose. I mean, connecting strategy to execution. For the work items you may drill down Portfolio Epic > Feature > Story

Please check out the famous feature Work tree below

Regarding Test Management:

It is more relevant for QA Manger and Team Management.

Built in quality is related to DevOps and all implementation regarding is happening at Team level.

You would need to manage Test, Test Plan, Test Set, Test Execution, Sub-Test Execution and Precondition. Besides you want to organise all test stuff in repositories to prepare maybe regression, unit test etc.

If you need sth in this direction, I recommend to use Xray Marketplace App see below.

Any further question to implement one of solution, you can find a dedicated teams at catworkx GmbH.

I hope, it helps.

Hi @Dewangi Jadeja welcome to the community.  Jira Align is for business planning and tracking at a higher level.  It captures higher level issue types like Epics and allows for planning across teams and initiatives.  You can see children of these within Align, however I doubt you would want to create these types of issues within align and leave the creation and management of those issue types within Jira itself.

Thank you so much @ @Craig Nodwell

Our need right now is to maintain a hybrid framework of both waterfall and agile. There are epics, features and user stories for certain initiatives ans oppose to other projects with functional requirements more like BRD’s (Business Requirements Documents) having a tree like structure. We are looking for a tool that can meet both needs. 

Hope this provides more insights into my question, please share any further thoughts you may have. Thank you!
