Test Case as issue type - create bug that is linked automatically

Hi

I created an issue type Test Case so they can be allocated to QA.

Is there a way to then allow QA to create an issue/bug which is automatically linked to the test case?

I was thinking about using sub-tasks, but the context (being a task) is a bit strange to users.

What would be great, is the Test Case with a list of all the bugs found as a result of it.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Simon

Hey Simon,

If you have not already heard/checked it out, you should try Zephyr for JIRA. We offer a 30 day free tiral to see if it meets your needs. From the above post it sounds like Zephyr for JIRA would really help since Zephyr for JIRA allows you to create an issue and link it to an already existing defect.

The link below will take you to a 30 day free trial in case you are interested!

Consider use the JIRA Clone-Plus plugin and customize a clone operation to do what you want.
