This section provides a detailed introduction of the four most common types of Jira issues involved in QA Testing: the Story, the Task, the Bug/Defect, and the Test Case.
Story
The Story is the OLE Jira issue type that serves as the master task for a given piece of functionality. Th Kuali design philosophy means that any major function requested in our software, like the ability to create a purchase order, starts out as a story that a user has told us; for example, "I work in acquisitions, and I need the software to enable me to place an order with a vendor." The sum of the Story issues in the OLE Jira project describe the full functionality that we want to offer with OLE.
Task
The Task is an OLE Jira issue type that serves as a "to do" item in developing a piece of functionality. SME (Subject Matter Expert) teams create parent Jira tickets and attach specifications to them. The development team reviews the Stories and the functional specifications attached to them, and then determines what Tasks need to be accomplished in order to establish the requested functionality. Breaking up Stories specifications into Tasks allows for faster and more incremental development
...
Like the Task, the Bug/Defect issue type also serves as a "to do" for developers. In this case, the "to do" is to notify programmers that an already-established, previously tested piece of functionality is no longer working.
Enhancement
The Enhancement is the OLE Jira issue type that allows users to suggest improvements of OLE environments. Enhancements will be considered by the appropriate SME team and/or Functional Council who will then determine any actions to be taken and for which release.
