Once FishEye integration with JIRA is established, commits from the source code systems can be linked to JIRA tickets. This allows to quickly monitor what changes were made and with what ticket they are related. Collaborator integration with JIRA expands this duo and allows to unite commits from the source code systems, JIRA tickets and code reviews.
When integration between JIRA and Collaborator is enabled and properly configured, JIRA users gain ability to create Collaborator reviews from within the JIRA item screens.
To create a Collaborator review from JIRA item screen, do the following:
-
Open a JIRA item which has some Git or Subversion commits attached.
-
Click the Create/Update Review button (at the top-left of the view issue page)
This will create a new review in Collaborator. The new review gets a link to the original JIRA issue and the Review Materials section of new review contains the same commits that were linked to the original JIRA item.
Once the review is created, the JIRA item screens display new block named Review Information.
This block displays the link to the associated review, its current phase and list of review participants.
Note for JIRA 7 users: Due to technical issues, JIRA 7 cannot display the Review Information block automatically. As a workaround you can manually make the Review Id, Review Participants, Review Phase and Review Link fields be visible on your JIRA screens.
