Work Flow of JIRA

JIRA is being used because it has the best work flow for managing software project. Thus, we will learn here about the whole work flow of JIRA software project management tool. First you need to create an issue with assigning priority.

If issue blocks the software web application then select priority as ‘Blocker’, If issue has high priority and it is harm the major functionality of the application then select ‘Critical’, If issue has medium priority and not affected more to the software application but still it occurred then select ‘Minor’ status for it and last status is ‘Trivial’ which we can use for posting UI issues or designing issues.



Find above picture which will help you to figure out about different priorities for issues.

Now we can move to the next step by selecting status of the issue. Status is the key word for deciding work flow.


OPEN:
When user first time posts an issue then it has ‘OPEN’ status which indicates that it has initial level.


IN PROGRESS:
When developer starts to solve the issues then he marks it as ‘IN PROGRESS’ which indicates that he has started to solve the issue of software application. When progress stops then developer can change status as ‘TO DO’ and when he is done with issue then he can assign status as ‘DONE’.


RESOLVED:
Resolved indicates that issues have been resolved so quality people and testers can start their work for verifying the issue. So when developer confident enough about solved issue then he can mark an issue with ‘RESOLVED’ status. 

REOPEN:
When issues have not been solved properly then testers can change the status from Resolved to ‘REOPEN’. This is indicates that when QA team verified the resolved issues and find the same issue again then he can change its status and let developer know that something went wrong and they need to work on the same issue again.

CLOSE:
Close indicates that issues have been solved successfully. No changes are needed after wards. QA People can change the status from Resolved to ‘CLOSE’ or from Reopen to ‘CLOSE’. Thus, close is the last status of the process. Once an issue has been closed then we can give assurance that it won’t be reproducing again then and only then we can ‘CLOSE’ it.

Now we will see the whole work flow which has been followed by JIRA.



WORK FLOW:
  1. Create an Issue.
  2. Select Priority for it.
  3. Here it is in Open status.
  4. Now developer starts to solve it so he can mark in as ‘In Progress’.
  5. When progress has stopped the he can change status from In progress to ‘To Do’.
  6. After completing the process he can mark it as ‘Done’.
  7. When an issue of the application has been solved then developer can mark it as ‘Resolved’.
  8. Thus, QA people can start verifying that posted issue.
  9. Now if they stuck again with same issue then they can ‘Reopen’ the same issue by assigning status as ‘Reopen’.
  10. Now again developer need to solve it then QA people again check it and mark it as ‘Close’.
This is the whole flow of the JIRA. This is the very easy to understand and we can see that how effectively it manages whole software application or project. If we are getting issues in middle of the development still we are able to fix it and continuing flow.

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because  JMeter  allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMet...

Performance Testing in the Cloud with JMeter & AWS

JMeter is a wonderful tool  to stress test your website and  your application architecture , however if you are trying to simulate many users (>1000) one JMeter instance (=pc) will not be sufficient. You will have to set up a JMeter cluster with multiple machines. JMeter is capable or running  distributed tests , but it comes with limitations. Since most of us don’t have multiple servers laying around somewhere, we usually go to cloud service providers like  AWS , spin up a couple of  EC2 instances  and turn them off whenever we’re done. Here is the problem, JMeter uses  Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation)  to communicate to its slaves, but these connections require all machines to be on the same subnet and this is not feasible with EC2 instances. Below, I explain how to get around this problem using a 3 node configuration in AWS to execute tests. I assume that you have a written the test already and have the .jmx file r...

Difference Between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects in JMeter

In this post, we will highlight important difference between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects options. These options are found in HTTP Request sampler of JMeter. Knowing the difference will help you decide your performance test strategy. When you check Redirect Automatically option, JMeter will not consider redirect as separate HTTP request. This in turn may result as lower response time in your overall performance test. Whereas Follow Redirect option will consider each redirection as separate requests. This may result in comparatively higher response time. This only has any effect if “Redirect Automatically” is not enabled. To see the difference between these two, record a sample script and run it by checking Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects option. The second option will generate more requests in your result listener. As you can see from the above post, knowing the difference between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects option makes difference i...
