Vansah’s integration of Test Case results into Jira issues significantly enhances the way teams manage testing and track issues. By leveraging this integration, teams can effectively monitor the status of issues based on testing results, ensuring a more streamlined workflow.
Here’s a closer look at the benefits of this integration and how it can be utilized with Jira’s dashboard gadgets, particularly the “Filter Results” Jira gadget.
Key Benefits of Vansah’s Integration with Jira
1. Real-Time Status Tracking
Immediate Feedback: Teams can see whether a Jira issue is Passing or Failing based on the linked Test Cases. This real-time feedback allows for quicker decision-making and prioritization of issues that need immediate attention.
Enhanced Visibility: By integrating test results directly into Jira, stakeholders can easily access the status of issues.
2. Streamlined Workflow Management
Automated Workflow Validators: With the integration, workflow validators can be set up to automatically check the status of linked test cases before allowing transitions in Jira. This ensures that only issues that have passed testing can move forward in the workflow.
Customizable Workflows: Teams can customize their workflows to include specific stages for testing, such as “Passed” or “Failing,” making it easier to manage the testing process.
Steps to Configure the Jira Filter Results Gadget
Step 1: Create a Jira Issue Filter
Navigate to Issues in Jira
Now Build Your Filter:
Use JQL (Jira Query Language) to create a filter that targets issues with a Testing Status of “Failed or Failed In Progress”.
Your JQL query should look something like this: “Testing Status[Dropdown]” in (Failed, Failed-In-Progress)
Run the Query:
Click on Search to execute the filter and review the results to ensure they meet your requirements.
Save the Filter:
Click on the Save as button.
Give your filter a meaningful name (e.g., “Failed Testing Issues”) and save it as this will be used in your Filter Results Gadget.
Add the Filter Results Jira Gadget to Your Dashboard
Navigate to Your Dashboard:
Go to your desired Dashboard in Jira.
Add a New Gadget:
From top right hand corner, Click Edit and then search in Add a gadget for “Filter Results” Jira Gadget
Click on the Gadget to add to your dashboard.
Configure the Filter Results Gadget:
Now select the filter from the Saved Filter dropdown.
Add “Testing Status” (Note if you have renamed it to something else select the desired Vansah Testing Status column)
Finally save the configuration
Now you can view your Jira Gadget which will display all Issues with a Failed Testing status.
