Welcome to the documentation for Enterprise Tester for Jira, a simple, Jira-native manual testing solution that allows you to manage test cases and steps directly inside your Jira Cloud projects.

Overview

  • Create manual test cases

Deleting Configurations

Delete Test Management Configuration

  • To delete the global configuration, click Delete Test Management Configuration.

  • You can only delete if the configuration has not been added to any projects.

  • If the configuration is in use by any project, the delete option will not be visible.

  • After deleting the Global Configuration if you see “unable to retrieve field not found”, it means the configuration was successfully removed

Delete Test Configuration from Project

  • If a configuration exists for the project, a Delete Test Configuration of Project button will be visible.

  • You can only delete a test configuration if it is applied specifically to the selected project.

  • Important: You cannot delete a project’s test configuration if there are existing ET Test work items in that project.

  • You must first remove or migrate those work items to other work types.

  • After deleting the Global Configuration  from the Project you will see "Mapping removed"

Cautionary Notes

  • Avoid deleting configurations while test types are still active

  • Always refresh the configuration page after changes
