Hands-On Test Management with Jira

Really happy that I came across this book and bought it. I got the Kindle version. Highly recommended for BAs/Testers/Test Managers looking to take a more methodical approach to managing requirements/software testing in Jira.- Quality of this Kindle edition is outstanding.- The actual content was surprisingly practical (well, the book does have it in the title). Although the example Jira plugins in the book are now a tiny bit outdated (as of today, SynapseRT is now TestRay, Zephyr is now Zephyr Squad, Test Management is now Zephyr Scale), the overarching framework used in this book to break down the functionality across these plugins is applicable far outside of Jira. We ended up using Testomat.io instead of the plugins in the book (because they all struggle with embedding automation alongside manual testing), but thanks to the practical nature of the book and its logical framework, we were able to just jump in, write tests and link into Jira as we go.This book covers the practical side of things for requirements engineering and test management. If you've studied up on Requirements Engineering, Testing & Test Management, then this book is the next logical step - it is the guide for how to apply all that knowledge in Jira. I'm not aware of any other book this practical.Would be awesome to see this book updated with newer plugins (there's really only 4-5 in the marketplace that are worth anyone's time).If you're looking for a further step into technical end-to-end testing, check out "A Frontend Web Developer’s Guide to Testing" by Eran Kinsbruner (Senior Director at Perforce Software) and "The Way of the Web Tester" by Jonathan Rasmusson.For a further practical dive into specific tools (Puppeteer, Selenium, Cypress), check out other books from Packtpub. Well recommended.
