Usage

In Jira

 

Create an issue in Jira

When you create an issue in Jira, you will notice a ‘TraceCloud’ tab at the bottom. It should also say, this object doesn’t yet exist in TraceCloud

Connect this issue to TraceCloud

 

Click on the ‘Connect To TraceCloud’ button.

This will take you to the TraceCloud screen where you will be asked to log into TraceCloud (if you are already logged in, it will take you to the connection screen.

 

 

 

At this point, select the project, and the folder where your requirements exist and connect this Jira object to the requirement object in TraceCloud.

 

This will create a proxy object in TraceCloud (JRA-xx) and trace it  up the requirement object you just selected.

 

 

Navigate to TraceCloud

 

 

When you click on either the Requirement or the Jira proxy, it will open it up in TraceCloud.

 

 

 

 

Requirements Traceability In Jira

 

If you are looking inside the Jira system, you will see the relationship of this object to your requirements in TraceCloud.

 

Update to Jira

 

You can continue to use Jira normally. Any changes to Jira are automatically sent to TraceCloud and the trace relationship is set to suspect (red arrow), if the name / description value are changed.

 

Marking something completed in Jira will mark it as completed in TraceCloud too.

 

 

 

In TraceCloud

 

When you connect a jira object to TraceCloud for the first time, the system automatically creates an object type called ‘Jira’ and sets up attributes to match with Jira.

 

For every Jira project that sends its objects to TraceCloud, a separate folder is created to store the Jira objects. For example , if Jira Project A, Project B and Project C have objects that connect to a Business Requirement (BR-1) in a TraceCloud project, you will see the following structure :

 

Object Type : Jira Proxy

Folder Structure  :

                Jira

                                Project A

                                                JRA-1

                                                JRA-2

                                Project B

                                                JRA-3

                                                JRA-4

                                Project C

                                                JRA-5
