Preface

Introduction

Moodle team uses Atlassian Jira as a Bug Tracker system. With a bit of tweaking Jira can become a Test Case Management software. For Moodle 2.0, we improved our QA department. We've been through testing a range of test management software that we could integrate to Jira. We try more deeply Test Link, an open source software. Finally we decide to setup Jira for QA testing purpose. The main reason is that people working on Moodle are well familiar with Jira interface, and it will be easy for them to learn how to create, run and read test case, or generate report.

Jira as a Test Case Management is attractive, it:

  1. Uses an existing and known tool
  2. Provides an easy way to link bugs to test cases and results
  3. Provides decent reporting of the state of testing
  4. Supports multiple releases
