Testing whether to use Jira (mifosforge.jira.com) for tracking Mifos test cases. Test case management tool should allow:
Requirements
- easy access with commonly accepted UI
- ability to combine test cases together for a test cycle (e.g. end of release test pass)
- organize test cases by component
- flag test cases as manual, automated, or to-be-automated
- report on test results pass/fail/fail-defer
Setup
I've installed Jira 4.0 on a test machine to create a local project. Goal is to create a project that can be exported and provided to Atlassian.
Design
Looking at a combination of the test case managment described by both Atlassian and Moodle:
Atlassian: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEVAL/Customise+JIRA+For+Test+Case+Management
Moodle: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Jira_as_a_Test_Case_Management_Software
- Issue type will be "Test Cycle".
- Test cycle page will include summary, description, environment, and version.
- Sub issues will be used with sub issue type of "test case".
- test case page will include summary, component, description, assignee?, version, and automation status.
