About the sprint/release timeline

This document explains how you can use the sprint/release timeline's features to plan and manage resources related to Jira directly within TestOps.

Sprint/release timeline

  • Connect Jira to TestOps first. Ensure your sprints have a start and end date, otherwise they might not show up in TestOps. (Or connect to another ALM.)

In the Plans section, you can keep track of Jira release and sprint schedules or assign testers to requirements seamlessly from within TestOps.
  1. Go to Plans. Your sprints and releases appear in a timeline. The current ongoing sprint is highlighted like in the photo below.
    Note:
    • Use the Today button to hop to the current sprint/release.

    The Plans section shows the release/sprint timeline making it so that it's easy to gain a comprehensive understanding of the ongoing release schedule.
  2. TestOps and Jira sync in real-time, but if there are issues you can refresh by clicking on the Refresh button in the upper right corner, above the timeline.

  3. Clicking on a release or sprint opens a drawer that shows all its requirements.

  4. Assign a tester to a requirement by clicking on the dropdown menu labeled Tester and selecting a User.
    Assign a user as a tester for a requirement by clicking on the dropdown menu in the requirements list.
  5. Testers can view all requirements assigned to them by using the Filter Tester feature.
  6. View your requirements in Jira by clicking on the outbound button in the upper right corner of the requirements list. Doing so takes you to the linked Release within Jira.
