JIRA : Project Creation


• Creating a Project in JIRA is a simple task. • Just click on Create Project under “Projects” tab. User with appropriate

permission only will be able to create a new project.• From the next window, select the desired project type and click on Next.• The following window gives the brief description of the project selected;

creation task.

JIRA : Requirement Documentation• JIRA considers everything as issue. Various issues types in JIRA are:

• Epic• Story• Task• Sub-Task• Bug• Test

• Now we can add a requirement in JIRA as issue of type Epic, Story, Task or Sub-Task ; whichever best suits our need.• Click on “Create” tab; select “Project” and “Issue Type”. Next fill in the required

fields for that issue and click on Create.


JIRA : Test Case • In JIRA test case can be created of Issue type “Test”.• Click on “Create” tab; select “Project” and “Issue Type” (Test). Next fill in the

required fields for that Test case and click on Create.• You can also map the test cases to particular requirement using the “Linked

Issue” option when creating a test issue.• Under “Linked Issues”, select “relates to”.• Under “Issue” select the requirement issue for which you want to map this test

case to.


JIRA : Test Cycles• Create a Test cycle to execute test cases in a structured manner.• By default Test Cycles can be added to Ad hoc test cycle to execute them

• Add the test cases to the test cycle created.

• Click on Add Tests; in the window next, enter the test case id or name to add them in to this test cycle.• ‘N’ number of test case can be added to ‘N’ number of test cycles.


JIRA : Test Execution• There are various way to execute a test case in JIRA.• Execute from test cycle; • Click on the symbol “V” (1) to view all the test case in that test cycle.• Click on “E” (2), to execute the test cases by individual test steps. We can also add bug

for the test case if required from here.• For quick execution of test cases; hover the cursor to the status of individual test case(3)

and change the status from the option that appears.

• The test cycle also shows the status of the test case execution for that cycle.© Sun Technologies Inc. 10

JIRA: Execution Report• The execution report for the test cases can be viewed from the “Test Metrics” under Tests tab.• Some of the metrics used for auto-generated reports are:• Daily Test Execution Progress• Test Execution By Test Cycle• Test Execution By Tester• Executions By Date

• Test Summary under Tests tab also gives a brief test report.• We can also generate custom reports and add them in “System Dashboard ” of a project in the form of ”Gadgets”.• Few of the Gadgets are:• Test Distribution• Test Execution• Top Defects Impacting Testing• Test Execution Burndown• Test Execution Details


Traceability• In JIRA all the issues can be grouped/inter related to each other with the help

of:• Epic (JIRA Issue Type)• Version• Sprint• Components• Labels

• Using the above listed items, we can easily track the issues.• Traceability of an issue can be performed using “Traceability” under Tests tab.
