QA Dashboard Instructions

This document describes the process for creating QA Dashboards in Jira, which are used to display high level QA-related project metrics.

Project metrics include:

• Completed vs. resolved defect tickets
• Test plan completion progress
• Open defect ticket statuses
• Open defects by components
• Open defects by priority

Create Search Filters

• After creating each filter, be sure to select Details > Edit Permissions, and set the sharing permissions to everyone associated with the project.

1. "[PROJECT NAME] - Defect Tickets"

• project = [JIRA PROJECT CODE] AND issuetype = Defect ORDER BY key DESC

2. "[PROJECT NAME] - Open Defect Tickets"

• project = [JIRA PROJECT CODE] AND issuetype = Defect AND status != closed AND status != "Invalid (Closed)" ORDER BY key DESC

3. "[PROJECT NAME] - Test Tickets"

• project = [JIRA PROJECT CODE] AND issuetype = Test AND status != closed ORDER BY key ASC
