Introduction
A Status is a stage of Test Assets during their lifecycle. Status defines the stage of Test Asset in the workflow. The QA Manager can define his workflow by adding custom statuses.
By default, QMetry for Jira has the statuses for the project that are: 'To Do', 'In Progress', and 'Done'. QMetry for Jira allows users to create their own custom status for the following Test Asset. The Status list will populate for respective Test Assets accordingly.
Test Case
Test Cycle
Test Plan
Adding a Status
Steps
1. Go to QMetry menu > Configuration > Select your Project
2. Under Project Configuration > select Status. There are three tabs on the screen: Test Case Status, Test Cycle Status, and Test Plan Status. Select your desired Test asset to add a custom Status. For example,
select Test Case - To add custom status for Test Cases
select Test Cycle - To add custom status for Test Cycles
select Test Plan - To add custom status for Test Plans
3. Enter the Status Name, and its Description, select Color from the color picker, and click Add.
Note: Modifying Status names will reset the existing filters applied to those values.
Required Permission: Users should have the Configuration Modify permission to change the Sort By preference of list values.
Changing the Sequence Number
You can change the list value sequence by editing the number in the Sequence No. column.
Notes:
The system-defined Status values can not be deleted.
The Status value can not be deleted if it is used in any of the test assets. To delete the value, remove all its existing associations from the test assets.
Below are the steps to delete a Status:
1. Hover over the archived Status. You can see two icons on hover: (1) Unarchive and (2) Delete.
2. Click on the Delete icon to delete the Status.
