Bug configuration

Jira itself has only one type of issue designated to represent a failure from the beginning. However, your project may use a set of custom issues for this purpose (defects, sub-bugs, UI bugs etc.).

Test statuses configuration

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.

Just follow these simple steps:

1. Log in as a user with the Administer projects project permission.
2. Open the Cog menu at the top right of your JIRA window and click Projects
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page
