Kickoff to JIRA Software
Before we immerse ourselves in this tool’s specifics, its application, and the user base, it’s important to lay down some fundamentals. These will aid us in understanding any tool quickly and efficiently within a small time frame.
In my view, learning a tool can be categorized into two phases:
- Comprehending the foundational process
- Mastering the tool itself: its features, functionalities, restrictions, and more.
Consider JIRA as an example. Presume that you are a rookie with no previous exposure to this tool. You’ve heard about it from colleagues and internet articles, and you’re eager to dive deeper. How will you approach it?
Begin by asking these questions to yourself:
- What kind of tool is JIRA?
- Who is the intended audience for this tool?
JIRA is a tool for incident management. But what is incident management exactly? Before we dive deeply into the tool’s specifics, let’s become acquainted with the incident management process.
Snapshot of Incident Management Process
Consider any task that needs completion as an incident.
Here are the principal 10 requisites for incident management:
- Initiation of an incident
- Inclusion of detailed information for a comprehensive description of the incident
- Monitoring and managing the incident’s progress through various stages until it’s resolved
- Establishing the primary stages or steps an incident passes through
- Creating links between incidents or generating sub-incidents
- Grouping incidents based on shared criteria
- Informing relevant parties about the creation or amendment in the status of an incident
- Enabling others to comment on specific defects
- Assuring that incidents are searchable
- Creating reports to detect trends, if required
Whether it’s JIRA or any other incident management tool, they should fulfill these fundamental 10 requisites and ideally extend them. In this tutorial series, we’ll review how JIRA stacks up against these demands.

Who Is This Software Intended For?
It’s employed by software project development teams, customer support systems, and leave request systems, among others.
In terms of QA teams, JIRA is predominantly used to track bugs, keep tabs on project-level issues (such as completion of documentation), and monitor environmental issues. Familiarity with this tool offers high value across multiple sectors.
JIRA Tool Essentials
JIRA operates on three core principles.
- Issue: Each task, bug, enhancement request, or anything that needs to be created and tracked within JIRA is considered an issue.
- Project: An aggregate of issues
- Workflow: A workflow symbolizes the sequence of steps an issue passes through from its inception to its resolution.
For instance, an issue can be initiated, acted upon, and finally closed. In this case, the workflow would be:
Let’s dive headfirst into it.
Once you have established a trial account, an OnDemand account will be created for you, granting you login access.
After logging in, the Dashboard page will appear (unless you’ve selected something different as your default). The Dashboard presents an overview of the project you’re tied with, including issue overviews and activity flows (for example, issues assigned to you or raised by you).
You can acquire this information by navigating the primary menu and selecting the project name from the “Projects” dropdown menu.
As an example, a JIRA project named “Test for STH” with the key “TFS” has been initiated. Hence, if a new issue is raised, its identification will commence with “TFS” (such as “TSH-01”). We’ll discuss this in more detail in the following tutorial when we touch upon issue creation.
Project Details Display:
Pay attention to the navigation located on the left-hand side.
The project’s two components will be displayed when you select the “Components” option:
Selecting the “Versions” option will show the versions tied with the project.
When you select the “Roadmap” option, you’ll see information about the versions and their milestones within the project.
If you opt to use the calendar feature, milestones will appear according to their dates:
Currently, no issues have been created for this project. If there were any, you could view them by choosing “Issues” from the navigation menu on the left.
