Yes — you heard that right, Jira is not good for tracking testing or for the matter of fact for Quality Assurance. Don’t get me wrong Jira is a great agile tool and heavily adapted in an industry where enterprises look for one stop shop for the Agile management of Epics, User Stories, Tasks and track the timelines of multiple projects as well as maintain documentation. Jira has a great way to depict Scrum timelines, representation of quantifying work, KANBAN Boards where you do everyday Stand-ups and know whether Project will get delivered or not.

Jira gets its special place in enterprises as its easily & securely gets integrated with Atlassian products like Confluence, Bit-Bucket, Trello. But as a QA in an agile team you would find difficulty in adapting Jira as test tracking tool. Ask a QA about how close are we to complete testing — and he/she would probably be unsure. Yes sure, you can close a Task and mention that the Test for the User story is complete. But when you look back and try to represent or quantify how many tests you did probably you need a better mechanism.

Adoption of a better Test management tool plugin like Zephyr or Xray is very much needed so that you as a QA can represent the test case planning and execution. Quality Assurance is a mission critical process inside Project management which helps to understand how matured Quality-wise the Product has been developed if ready to ship to the customer who are the end users. Marking as the Task or in-fact User Story as done does not the guarantee the total coverage as well give the full big picture about Quality.
