  • Incident Type
  • Priority
  • Requirements Difficulty
  • Requirements Status
  • Requirements Type

Components and Versions can be automatically updated with values from your defect tracking system.

  • Components - The parts of the system affected
  • Affected Versions - The release(s) that are affected by the incident
  • Fix Versions - The release(s) in which you intend to resolve the incident

Automatic Update of Versions and Components

Enterprise Tester supports automatically pulling Version and Component values from JIRA. See Tasks when setting up your project links.


Managing Picklist Values

Organizational Level

Changes made to the organization level picklists will only automatically update existing projects that are set as dependent on the organization.

New projects will adopt any organization level picklist changes. 

Projects set as independent of the organization will need to be updated individually.   

Picklist values for custom fields are applied globally, this means there is only one list of values for a particular custom field. 

 

Project Level

Changes made to the project level picklists are specific for a single project.

New projects will adopt any organization level picklist changes. 

Projects set as independent of the organization will need to be updated individually.   

Picklist values for custom fields are applied globally, this means there is only one list of values for a particular custom field.
