how to test a Jira Workflow before release it to production ?

[Adriano Elena]

I'm a newbie and I work on a test (protected) environment.

Should I set Administrator (or "tester") in every role touched by the workflow ?

Is there any other smarter way ?

Thanks

Make a Test project on your instance and associate that new workflow scheme to the test project.

[Mizan]

if your workflow has conditions or other customizations then its good to have other schemes like field configuration , permission , etc associated as well except notification scheme

Thanks Boris. I'll get your first answer. I will generate a new project where I'll be GOD.

What do you mean by "touched"? Why would you want to do that ? Can you give more details?

[Adriano Elena]

well, I've just implemented a change into an existing Jira workflow and I want to see if it works. The added field displayed, the new questions asked.

So I need to execise the workflow to test it before applying the change in the production Jira.

That's it.

I'm not sure that I got that. So you're on a test system - what stops you from testing it with test project/issues?
