QaSpace - Test Management

Exactly fits needs in our company.

I am using QAspace and facing a frustrating issue while copying any test case or copying any test case to Test Run. Issue 1 - Whenever I copy any Test case from a Folder to another folder, It actually removes the requirement linking from the original test case and from the copied test case too. And on the top of it, that's not enough, This actually removes the requirement linking for all the test cases exist in the folder form where the original test case was being copied. Issue 2 - Create a Test case, Link a requirement to it. Then in Execute view copy this test case to a Run. Here the test case exist in run would never retain requirement linking, it have in original test case. Original Test cases remains intact in this case.

I love this add-on, so comfy and easy to work with. used it in my previous company which used jira server software, now in my new company we use jira-cloud software - is there any way we could use it?

  Unfortunately, Cloud-ready add-ons have a very different architecture. This means that we would need to re-design the whole add-on to make it cloud compatible. While it is on the table, it is a large effort, so surely won't happen in the near future.

There are status in Test Management (Passed, Failed, Blocked, so on) and Status in Issues-Backlog. Both don't seem to be in sync. When the status is updated in Test Management, it is not reflected in an Issue in Backlog. How do we sync up the status? If someone updates the status in Backlog issues, it should reflect in Test Management and vice versa? Status in Issues-Backlog is Start Progress, Resolve and Close. Status in Test Management is Passed, Failed, Untested, Blocked, Out of Scope

  This was a conscious choice to separate the status of the test from the status of the issue.

  Implementing a custom workflow is just too restrictive, it would cause more harm than good - actually we have tried it that way in early versions, but we had to remove this dependency as it was a cause of too many problems.

  It is not impossible to get the two in sync - you will need a custom workflow with the test statuses (Passed, Failed, Untested, Blocked, Out of Scope), and a trigger that sets the workflow status when the test status changes. I would still advise against it - try using a JQL query or a Dashboard widget based on one, if the built-in reports doesn't satisfy your needs.

Whilst the documentation could be improved, the functionality is great and it is free! We evaluated Zephr and preferred QaSpace. Highly recommend it.
