👉 In this episode, we cover JIRA Testing Tool Tutorial for Beginners – everything you need to know about bug tracking, issue management, and project workflows in Jira. Perfect for testers, developers, and Agile teams getting started with Jira.
🔑 Key takeaways:
• What is JIRA? A tool by Atlassian for bug tracking, issue tracking, and project management. Originally named after “Gojira” (Godzilla).

• How to use JIRA: Create a project, select templates, configure boards, create issues, and invite your team.
• Teams using JIRA: Software dev, Agile, project management, DevOps, product, marketing, customer service.
• Test Management in JIRA: Using Tricentis Test Management for Jira → AI-powered test case generation, real-time reporting, third-party integrations.
• JIRA Issues & Types: Bug, story, task, sub-task, epic – with schemes for default and Agile Scrum setups.
• JIRA Components & Screens: Break projects into modules; customize screens to define workflows and fields.
• Workflows in JIRA: Track issue lifecycle (Open → In Progress → Resolved → Closed) with statuses, transitions, conditions, validators, and properties.
• JIRA Agile: Manage Scrum (sprints, backlog, burndown charts) or Kanban (continuous flow, cycle time tracking).
• Reports & Dashboards: Burndown, velocity, control charts, cumulative flow, and customizable dashboards.
• Sub-Tasks & Linking: Split large tasks, clone issues, or link related issues for collaboration.
