How to manage the same issue across different release platforms?

David October 1, 2013

We use Jira to manage a single app which is released on 3 different platforms (iOS, Android and web). The codebase is the same (Flash/Air) and 90% of the tasks apply for all 3 platforms.

We use Agile boards to track the progress of an issue through development and QA. Development is usually done on a single codebase so the task is the same for all 3 platforms. However when it comes to QA, we need to review and release it separately.

Our current solution is just to create a single issue for each task. Then we try to QA on all three platforms at once. However this rarely works nicely as one platform is usually behind the others. It gets messier when it comes to mark the issue as "released". We have got to the point where we don't use the "release" button on the Agile board because it is meaningless.

I would love to know how others solve these problems. Do you have any tips?

for these things, Can create a task and mention all changes for all platforms, then create sub task for individual platforms, then it is easy to maintain single task for all, and developer will close their task as per platform they will pick.

Did you ever find a good way of doing this? We currently clone issues and use Epics to group for iOS and for Android.
