QaSpace configuration {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

Qa Space configuration includes:

  • General Configuration

  • Health Check

  • Recalculate Report

  • Create scope of requirements

 

Besides, here you can enable test IO extension and configure its synchronization with QaSpace. Refer to Test IO integration to learn more.

General configuration:

1) In the Bug Configuration section, define issue types that will be treated as Bug. Drag the ones you want from the Available issue types column to the Selected issue types column. In order to give you flexibility in adjusting our plugin to your workflow, you can consider any Jira issue as 'bug' in the configuration.

NB! If no issue has been selected, you won’t be able to create bug (sub-bugs) under test cases in QaSpace.

Steps:

  1. Log in as a user with the Administer projects project permission.

  2. Go to Jira Administration -> Projects. Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

  3. Find "TEST MANAGEMENT" section in the left side menu bar.

  4. Go to the QaSpace Configuration section.

  5. Open the General Configuration tab.

  6. Find the Bug configuration section.

  7. Drag issue types from the Available column to the Selected column.

  8. Save changes on the bottom of the page.

2) In the Test Status Configuration section, you will be able to customize test cases statuses according to your project needs.

When plugin is enabled it introduces a new JIRA issue type "Test" (representation of a Test case). Test cases life cycle is managed using test statuses. There is a set of default statuses, however, your project may use a set of custom statuses for marking specific Test cases progress stages. In order to give you a flexibility in adjusting our plugin to your workflow, you can manage custom test statuses in the configuration.

 

Default statuses are:

  • Untested, Passed, Failed - core statuses (not configurable);

  • Blocked, Out of Scope - configurable statuses.

 

It is possible to add a new custom status, pick a color for any status which is configurable, or remove a custom status. When the user removes a status, system allows changing existing Test cases with such status to another status picked by the user.

  1. Log in as a user with the Administer projects project permission.
