This blog is a place to meet our experts. We share technical knowhow and lessons learned from software projects, and discuss clever solutions for real-world problems.
In this article we talk about specifics about JIRA and Confluence configuration and system management: aspects that have to be configured by administrators and guidelines to be followed by project-administrators, space-administrators and users. Those guidelines need regular monitoring and communication with your project- and space-administrators or specific users.
JIRA and Confluence are important tools for managing projects and exchanging knowledge in many companies. Since they contain sensitive information, operating them as securely as possible is a must. In this two-part series about the security in Atlassian products we explain general principles of safeguarding JIRA and Confluence and give advice based on best practices. The first part focuses on network and server security and security aspects concerning the installation and basic configuration.
In this first blog post of our series on Atlassian tools and 3rd-party plugins for Atlassian tools, we’ll have a close look on how to do test management in JIRA. You will get an insight in first thoughts and ideas when organizing tests and which main requirements are the bottom-line for test management in JIRA. After this we will show which types of test management plugins are available for JIRA. We will have a closer look on the specific functions of two representative examples and compare them with each other.
