We are trying to add test coverage for a project that is using a Kanban board instead of Agile story board. How do we set this up?

Hi @Sara Volden,

Is it about manual testing, performed by QA/testers as part of the issue workflow?

If yes, you could simply extend your issue workflow with a status named "In Testing" and then add a new column to your Kanban board named in "In Testing" and map the newly added "In Testing" status to it. 

This way, your Kanban board will have these columns:

TO DO > IN PROGRESS > IN TESTING > DONE

When a developer finishes the work on an item will move to In Testing and re-assign it to the tester. when the tester finishes the work will move it to Done if testing passed, or back to In Progress if didn't pass the test. This way the testing will be covered.

Hope this helps. 

Danut.
