Once a defect tracker has been configured for the organization, you can then configure your project to project links
- Click on the ‘Resources’ tab in your tree navigator and click to expand ‘Project Link’.
- Right click on your project and select add new project link, the Add Link screen will appear.
- Complete the details and select your JIRA connection and project click ‘Save’.
Once the project link to JIRA has been created, the next step is to configure Enterprise Tester inbuilt fields to JIRA fields.
- Click on ‘Configure Inbuilt Fields’.
Ensure to complete the time offset field. The time specified needs to be the same as the time on your JIRA server. Although you will be GMT + X hour you will need to enter it as GMT - X hours or vice versa. For instance here in NZ we are GMT +13 but the setting is GMT –13.
Note You may need to adjust the time offset to match your JIRA installation otherwise synchronization will be affected. If your system time changes as a result of Daylight saving you may need to adjust the time offset accordingly.
From V3.4 and above, an optional configuration to pull component and version values from JIRA and TFS is available. To enable the auto-mapping of component and version, check the “Auto-map component and versions” check box. When this option is selected you do not need to add values to your pick list for Version and Component fields in Enterprise Tester. Values will automatically be synchronized from JIRA or TFS.
Matching values will automatically be mapped. Complete the additional field mappings and click ‘Save’.
Configure Custom Fields
Enterprise Tester also supports synchronization of Custom Fields between Enterprise Tester and JIRA. If you have added custom fields to JIRA or Enterprise Tester and would like to have these synchronized, then you will need to also map these fields. Click on Configure Custom Fields from the ‘External Link Details’ screen.
All currently mapped fields will be displayed here. Click on ‘Add’ from the toolbar to bring up the Map Fields dialog. Internal field refers to the Enterprise Tester custom field and External field refers to the defect tracker custom field.
Once you have completed your custom field mappings, your Project JIRA link configuration is complete. Click on your project on the tree view navigator to display the list view of links, click on your connection and click ‘Enable’ on the toolbar to activate your link.
