Summary

The "Summary" field contains the title of the Test Case itself. It allows for a fairly lengthy statement, but it's generally better not to use all the space given, as a long title can result in hard-to-read search results. The title of each Test Case should be a very brief explanation of what is to be tested, usually a contraction of the acceptance criterion upon which the Test Case is built.

Components

The "Components" field will contain the name of your Functional Specification team. If you are not a member of a Functional Specification team, you will enter the name of the FSPEC team whose issue you are testing. If you have any difficulty identifying the appropriate FSPEC component to enter here, your Team Lead or the QA Team will be able to help you figure out which option to select.

Fix VersionsVersion/s

This field was intended to contain the Milestone Release version to which the Test Case belongs, but is no longer being used and has been marked for removalis for the version of OLE in which the functionality to be tested will be established (e.g., "OLE 1.0", "OLE 1.5", "OLE 2.0"). Although this field can contain multiple values, Test Cases should only ever receive one value in this field. This field should generally be the same as on the Enhancement (PP) the Test Case was created from.

Parent Jira

This field will contain a link to the Story Enhancement (PP) which serves as the Parent Issue for this Test Case. For more information on how to use this field, see the article Linking in Jira. The "Parent Jira" field is not required immediately upon Test Case creation, so it can be left blank for the time being. It does, however, need to be filled out prior to the Test Case being passed, failed, or assigned to another user.

Assignee

The "Assignee" field is used to assign the Test Case to a Jira user. Unless you are the lead tester for a team and need to delegate Test Cases to other members, you will enter your own name hereThis field will default to the user who created the Test Case, and is generally only used by the QA Team and Testing Coordinators.

Co-Assignee/sThis field allows additional assignees to be designated, and is only rarely used. It can safely be ignored during test creation.

Description

The "Description" field is the main body of the OLETS Test Case. This is where you will enter the statement of purpose and descriptive testing steps.

Attachment

This field allows you to add attachments, and can generally be disregarded. You will not need to add attachments to a Test Case immediately upon creation. For instructions on using this field, please see the article Attaching Files in Jira.

Reporter

This field reflects which Jira user created the Test Case. It will default to your own username, and requires no editing.

...

The detailed steps for the testing process will also be included in the "Description" field. The steps you include should be detailed enough for another user to follow. It is best to write out general steps, try them yourself in the OLE Test Environment, take notes, then come back and modify the steps accordingly.
