Requirements
It is very common to use specialized requirements management tools to manage requirements like user stories, epics, or other artifacts. Test ManagerTM supports the synchronization of requirements from external tools as well as the creation of requirements from within Test ManagerTM. In a Test ManagerTM project, there can be requirements that are synced from external tools as well as requirements that were created in Test ManagerTM.
To quickly find your requirements, use the search function and the filters. Navigate within the page using and configuring the paginator. Alternatively, you can use the breadcrumb to navigate between the pages.
-
Filter - You have two filter tabs to choose from:
- Browse - to list all requirements.
- Updated by me - (predefined) to list only the requirements that have been updated by the current user, running the Test ManagerTM instance.
-
Search - Use the search bar to find requirements by their key, name or labels (requires full search term match).
You can use the search bar at the top of the page to look for items across Test ManagerTM (e.g., test sets, test cases).
To create requirements in a Test ManagerTM project:
Synchronizing Requirements from External Tools
In order to keep requirements from external ALM tools in sync with requirements from Test ManagerTM, configure a connection first. Refer to About ALM Tool Connectors to learn how to configure a project to be synchronized with an external ALM tool.
Once a connection is configured properly, any requirement which is created in the external tool is also created in Test ManagerTM. The name and description of those requirements are also kept in sync when changed in the external tool. In Test ManagerTM, these attributes are read-only.
Test Manager comes with a Jira connector pre-installed. On your Jira instance, the UiPath® Test ManagerTM for Jira apps needs to be installed from the Atlassian marketplace. See Connecting a Jira Project to learn how to configure Jira and Test ManagerTM to enable synchronization.
Objects are synchronized from Jira to Test ManagerTM under the following circumstances:
- An object is created in Jira and Jira is configured to synchronize this type of object.
-
An object is updated in Jira and Jira is configured to synchronize this type of object.
Note:If an object is updated in Jira which does not exist in Test ManagerTM, a new requirement will be created in Test ManagerTM.
If an object is deleted in Jira, the synchronized object in the Test ManagerTM will remain. Test ManagerTM never propagates deletions across systems.
For a particular object, synchronization can be enforced immediately. This can be helpful under the following circumstances:
- Objects are out-of-sync for any reason - for example, Test ManagerTM was not available while the Jira object was updated.
- A new Jira connection has been set up in Test ManagerTM and objects which already existed in Jira need to be synced.
To enforce synchronization of an object:
- Open the object in Jira.
-
Click Push to Test ManagerTM from the More menu. Synchronization is invoked immediately.
Note: Please note that Test ManagerTM does not perform a sync-all operation after a Jira connection has been set up.
