This section provides a detailed introduction of the three four most common types of Jira issues involved in QA Testing: the Bug/Defect, the Enhancement (PP), the Enhancement, and the Test Case.

Bug/Defect

Like the Task, the 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 (PP)

The Enhancement (PP) is the main OLE Jira issue type used for the development of new features, and appear on the Project Plan for each OLE release.  Enhancement (PP) issues are the main focus of development, and will generally contain the Functional Specification documents used to develop Test Cases.

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.

...

The Test Case is the basic OLETS issue type. Test Cases tend to represent one item from the Acceptance Criteria of a Functional Specification document.  At the time of testing, a Test Case should include a descriptive statement of what is to be tested (purpose statement), as well as a set of general instructions (steps) for how the test should run.  Test Cases will relate to the Enhancement containing the relevant functional specifications.
