Requirements
It is very common to use specialized requirements management tools to manage requirements like user stories, epics, or other artifacts. Test Manager supports the synchronization of requirements from external tools as well as the creation of requirements from within Test Manager. In a Test Manager project, there can be requirements that are synced from external tools as well as requirements that were created in Test Manager.
In order to keep requirements from external ALM tools in sync with requirements from Test Manager, configure a connection first. Refer to About ALM Tool Connectors to learn how to configure a project to be synchronized with an external ALM tool.
Once a connection is configured properly, any requirement which is created in the external tool is also created in Test Manager. The name and description of those requirements are also kept in sync when changed in the external tool. In Test Manager, these attributes are read-only.
Test Manager comes with a Jira connector pre-installed. On your Jira instance, the UiPath® Test Manager for Jira apps needs to be installed from the Atlassian marketplace. See Connecting a Jira Project to learn how to configure Jira and Test Manager to enable synchronization.
Objects are synchronized from Jira to Test Manager under the following circumstances:
- An object is created in Jira and Jira is configured to synchronize this type of object.
-
An object is updated in Jira and Jira is configured to synchronize this type of object.
Note:If an object is updated in Jira which does not exist in Test Manager, a new requirement will be created in Test Manager.
If an object is deleted in Jira, the synchronized object in the Test Manager will remain. Test Manager never propagates deletions across systems.
For a particular object, synchronization can be enforced immediately. This can be helpful under the following circumstances:
- Objects are out-of-sync for any reason - for example, Test Manager was not available while the Jira object was updated.
- A new Jira connection has been set up in Test Manager and objects which already existed in Jira need to be synced.
To enforce synchronization of an object:
- Open the object in Jira.
-
Click Push to Test Manager from the More menu. Synchronization is invoked immediately.
Note: Please note that Test Manager does not perform a sync-all operation after a Jira connection has been set up.
