Requirements, that can be user stories or other entities that you cover with tests, can have real-time feedback about the latest test results.
You add the Requirement Status Field at your board and track the coverage status easily.
Use case
User Story
or
any other requirement issue type
track requirement status (uncovered , not run, ok , nok, unknowned)
Info
Get to know more about the Coverage Status in the course module "Understanding coverage" next in this course.
UI Step
Track
the Test Specification & Organization
test specification and organization
Tests, Pre-Conditions & Test Sets are regular Jira issues, that may have a specific workflow associated.
The workflow will track the specification & approval process, for example.
You can create an agile board to track the specification/ lifecycle progress.
Use case
Test
track the test specification progress/lifecycle (e.g., a specific workflow is being monitored for reviewing purposes)
Pre-Condition
track the test specification progress/lifecycle (e.g., a specific workflow is being monitored for reviewing purposes)
Test Set
track the test specification progress/lifecycle (e.g., a specific workflow is being monitored for reviewing purposes)
UI Step
Monitor
Planning & Execution
planning and execution
You can use agile boards to track execution progress and the execution status.
For that, you just need to add the issue types Test Execution, Sub- Test execution ( if used) and Test Plan to your board. By including the specific custom field to your cards you can immediately visualize the status.
Use case
Notes
Test Execution
track the daily execution-related tasks
including "Test Execution Status" custom field provides a quick overview of all the Tests that are part of the Test Execution
hard to scale, specially if CI is being adopted
Sub Test Execution
per each requirement, track the execution of the related Tests
including "Test Execution Status" custom field provides a quick overview of all the Tests that are part of the Sub-Test Execution
hard to scale with multiple executions
Test Plan
using scoped Test Plans (i.e., in a context of a sprint) quickly provides an overview of the progress of the execution of your Tests
including "Test Plan Status" custom field provides a quick overview of all the Tests that are part of the Test Plan
requires adding the "Sprint" field to the Test Plan
Note
Test Runs are not issue types, so they can not be included in agile boards.
