Setting up JIRA for bug tracking
JIRA can be used out-of-the-box for bug tracking. It comes with a default issue type called Bug, along with other issue types. However, you may be required to make certain changes in the default configurations in the future, and it is a good idea to create custom schemes even for bug tracking. Of course, we will copy the default schemes and make changes in the copied configurations.
Issue types
The following are the issue types for bug tracking:
|
Scheme name |
Issue types |
Remarks |
|
Default Issue Type Scheme |
Improvement Bug New Feature New User Request Sub-task |
There's no need to create new issue types or new schemes here |
Workflow
We will use a custom workflow for the Bug issue type; it will be used to store project requirements; for rest of the issue types, the default JIRA workflow will be used.
The following is the workflow for bug tracking:
