JIRA Connection Logs

Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024

In QAComplete, you can view connection logs for QAComplete Integration for JIRA to check which adjustments you and other users applied to items. With this functionality, you quickly gather all data about changes made to items, which makes it much easier to troubleshoot and review the development process.

Before you start viewing the logs, make sure you have properly configured the JIRA integration plugin.

Record types

There are three types of records QAComplete displays on the connection log screen:

  • Ok records describe the changes that were applied correctly.

  • Warning records describe the changes that encountered some issues while trying to be applied.

  • Error records describe the changes that were not applied for some reason.

    Tip: Usually, the records of this type include some information in the Details column, allowing you to determine the source of the problem and to solve it.

To command QAComplete to display or hide the records of a specific type, click the needed icon on the screen toolbar.
