[Building Sakai] Jiras without Test plans

[Branden Visser]

Hi Neal, if there was a custom "Test Plan" text field in JIRA, you
could create a filter to track issues that need testing and have an
empty test plan.

It won't get rid of the manual plumbing, but might make progress on
that front more visible.

Hope that helps,
Branden

This could be because there is no test plan included, and reading through the comments may or may not help. Or it could be because there is no genuine way to perform functional testing. Or in some cases it could be that it requires a collaboration between functional and technical (e.g. have a setting changed on the server first and then test).

I think I've had about 100% response rate from developers (Thank you!!!), however, I wonder if there is not a more efficient way to manage this. And I don't think all QA testers do this, most probably just give up and go to the next ticket or give up entirely.
