Jira

1) What is JIRA?

JIRA is an issue tracking product, or a software tool developed by Atlassian,


commonly used for bug tracking, project management, and issue tracking.

Q 2) Why is JIRA used?

Enlisted below are few reasons which determine the usage of JIRA:

 Able to track project progress from time to time.


 JIRA use-cases include project management, feature implementation, bug tracking,
etc.
 Workflow can be easily customized as per our requirement.
 Along with issue tracking, history of the work done on issues, when, what and by
whom can also be tracked.
 JIRA is platform-independent and can run anywhere.

Q 3) Explain the JIRA workflow.


Answer: Workflow defines the series of steps or stages an issue/ bug goes through during
its lifecycle from creation to the closing of the issue.
The workflow here includes the creation of an issue, a series of actions performed to fix the
issue and the last step includes the closing or say completion of the issue after verification.

Refer the below diagram for better understanding:


Q4) Enlist the report types generated by JIRA.

Examples of reports generated for Scrum projects are:


 Sprint Report
 Control chart
 Burndown chart
 Cumulative Flow diagram
 Epic Report
 Release Burndown
 Velocity chart
 Version Report

Q5) Explain the step by step procedure of how an issue is created in JIRA.

Answer: Whenever an issue or defect is encountered while testing, it needs to be reported


so that the developers can work on it and take the necessary action to fix it.
We will see step by step as how an issue is created in Atlassian JIRA.
a) Log in to your JIRA account by using valid credentials and get directed to the dashboard.
b) Click on ‘Create’ button displayed and you will be navigated to a window for creating an
issue.
c) Enter all the necessary details as required to create an issue. The below field example
can be understood better by the image below.
 In the Project field, a project for which we are creating an issue is selected. In this
example: STH_Learning(STHL) is selected from the dropdown containing all the
available projects.
 In the Issue type field, the nature of the issue is selected from the dropdown which
contains options like Bug, Task, Improvement, Story, New Feature, etc. In this
example, ‘Bug’ is the nature of the issue.
 The Summary field contains the one line title of the issue which imparts the critical
information about the issue in a summarized way. The more effective the issue
headline, the more you can show the criticality of the issue. Of course, the headline
should be easily understood without any chances of misinterpretation. The example I
have taken here, however, is not much critical.
 The Reporter is the one who reports the issue. In most of the cases, the name of the
Project Manager is selected in this field.
 In Description field, the detailed description of the issue is written. As you can see
in the below example screenshot, Steps to reproduce the issue, Actual result,
Expected result are included in the description.
 In the Affect Version field, the current build version of the project is selected in
which the issue has been encountered.
 Fix version field is basically selected by the concerned developer people, who
choose the version as and when their work for the particular issue has been finished
and the issue has been fixed.
 Priority field defines which issue should be considered first to be fixed. Tester
selects the priority of the issue from the dropdown based on its effect on the
application. This example issue is basically of a Medium priority.
 In the Attachment field, any video or screenshot related to the issue is being
uploaded.
 In Environment field, operating system and browser details are mentioned on which
issue has been encountered.

d) After all the details have been completed, click on the ‘Create’ button displayed on the
window to create the new issue.
e) The issue id is generated which can be used in the future as a reference for tracking the
progress of the issue.
