Organize Tests

At a Jira level, tests are organized under projects, i.e. a test belongs to a Jira project (this happens by virtue of you creating a new test in a project or importing existing ones into a project).

Once a test has been created for a project, it can be further organized by versions. If one or more Versions have been created for a project, they appear in the Fix Version/s field, allowing you to add one or more versions that this test belongs to. The Test Summary screen displays a summary of all these tests organized by version. If no version has been selected, the tests appear under Unscheduled.

Searching in the Issue Navigator by that Fixed Version gives you a list of tests that belong to that version. Using the Bulk Change feature of the Issue Navigator, a large number of tests can be made a part of another Fixed Version very easily (e.g. bringing over the entire regression suite from one version to another).

Test Distribution metrics then give you a good idea about how your tests are distributed when you pick that version.

Tests can also be related to components. If one or more components have been created for a project by a Jira or project administrator, then they can be added to a test. The Test Summary screen displays a summary of all these tests organized by component. If no component is chosen, tests appear under No Component.

Test Distribution metrics then give you a good idea about how your tests are distributed by the component when you pick that option.
