What is JIRA?

  • JIRA is a software tool which has been developed by Australian company. This tool is used for Bug tracking, Issue tracking and Project Management. It allows you to assign, prioritize, report and audit your 'Issues' of a Project or change request.
  • It is extensible platform as it is customize different units and work flow of a project by using Agile methodology.
  • It improves productivity by saving time and improves quality by ensuring all task information and follow-ups till the completion of a project.

Project
As per the image we can consider that First a Project have been created from JIRA tool and then all other Procedure will take place. Projects have their different Components like one application is developed in web and integrated with android device. And If any changes will be required for improvement of developed project then it can be divide in different Version.

Issues

There are much different type of issues which we can post it on jira. We can Prioritize issue in  Low level , Medium Level , High level and critical Level. Thus, basically we can say that the  Project can be combination of many issues.

Work Flow

JIRA followed agile model for working. As agile have feature like we can fix the bug in the  middle of the development so it will quite good then waterfall model. Thus, JIRA followed this  methodology. Here is the example of JIRA work flow,

  • Open is the status of the issue which indicates that issue have been found in project.
  • When developer start to solved it then it status changed in to 'In progress'
  • if issues is solved then it will have 'Resolved' status and if it marked as solved but actually some problem is still occurred due to the same issue then it will have status as 'Reopened'.
  • Once an issue have been solved properly then it will have status as 'Closed'.

First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using  Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this.
