Settings
To start using QAlity – Test Management for Jira, you need to add the QAlity Test issue type to the projects where you want to use the app. Make sure the issue type is available.
Jira and project administrators can configure various aspects of QAlity in their projects. This can be done via Jira Settings → Apps → QAlity → Settings.
On this page, you will find a description of all the features available on the QAlity Settings page.
Most of the QAlity data appears or disappears immediately after switching the toggle on or off, but for some of the links in the project, it may take up to one day to show or hide them effectively.
Adding QAlity Issue Type (Creating test cases)
Depending on the type of your project (team-managed or company-managed project), the process of adding a Quality Issue Type will vary.
Please note that if multiple projects share the same issue type scheme, enabling the issue type for one of those projects will enable it for all of them.
Company-Managed Project
Please bear in mind that this action can be only performed by your organization Jira Administrator.
Go to Apps → Manage your apps → QAlity Plus Settings.
Find the project on the list and enable the last option, which is Creating test cases enabled.
After that, you are ready to create your test cases.
Team-Managed Project
If you're using team-managed projects, you must manually add this issue type. To perform this action, you only need to be an administrator of the project.
Click Project settings.
Go to Work types.
Click Add work type.
Click Create work type.
Name the issue as ‘QAlity Test’.
Click Create.
After that, you are ready to create your test cases.
Enable QAlity in project
‘Enable QAlity in project’ is the main setting controlling whether QAlity is enabled for the given project.
When disabled, QAlity will not show any data for the given project. It will be as if QAlity didn’t exist for the given project at all.
QAlity shown in all work items
‘QAlity Plus shown in all work items’ is a setting that controls whether the QAlity panel is displayed inside every Jira work item.
The QAlity panel allows you to add, link, and manage tests inside Jira issues. When disabled, the QAlity panel will be only displayed inside Jira work items of the dedicated work type - QAlity Test, which is the representation of the test case.
QAlity in your future projects
Besides configuring QAlity settings per project, Jira administrators can also configure the default options for newly created projects on the Jira instance.
Those settings have no effect on existing projects. For newly created projects, the settings will be automatically set to whatever the default for future projects is.
Enable QAlity in your future projects controls whether new projects will have ‘Enable QAlity in project’ option enabled or disabled.
Enable QAlity Plus in all work items in your future projects controls whether new projects will have ‘App visibility’ in all issues option enabled.
The Default addition of the work type QAlity Test cannot be configured via settings.
