Jira usage for requirement management in QSR 2.1

QSR requirement specification states:

"From QSR 1.1 onwards, all QSR requirements derived from this document are available in the Jira system that is used for Qt bug and issue reporting [8]. The QSR Safety Plan [9] specifies the process for requirement handling."

Known issues: Requirement linking. The requirements are only in the word document albeit the QSR 1.1 version suggests that requirements would be in Jira.

• Test Rail can link the test cases to requirements, so Jira items can be tracked easily
  • Note that linking is bi-directional, so it is possible to see in the Jira what tests are linked to the Jira issues
• When the requirements are not available as Jira items, there are some hiccups:
  • This prevents linking of the Jira requirement items and related tests properly.
• In case that requirements would be in Jira in the future, there would be a need to separate the actual requirements and implementation tasks somehow.
  • By following the agreed data models and power use of the linking.
  • Also, the requirement versioning would need some thoughts. Basically it would be possible to replace also the requirement specification with Jira.
