[Development] FYI: Jira TestRail add-on for release testing

[Asmo Saarela]

Hi Qt Developers,

For your information: Small cosmetic changes to Jira due to use of the new add-on.

We are planning to enable Jira TestRail add-on for release testing. The deployment will happen in August. TestRail is a standalone test management tool that integrates with Jira. The tool will help us to track features, bugs, and tests. The use of the test management tool applies to release quality engineering activities.

Jira admins will configure default settings for the add-on in the following way:
A) By default, the add-on so that it will show an empty placeholder for TestRail add-on pages or panels. This applies if you are not logged into Qt TestRail tool.
B) TestRail users will see the extra information about linked test cases. This applies if you are logged into Qt TestRail tool.

The linking is bi-directional:
1) TestRail users can see information about the linked Jira issues in the TestRail tool
2) Jira users can see information about the related TestRail items in the Jira tool

Who are TestRail users?

TestRail users are those developers who perform release testing. This covers both manual release testing and automated release testing. More information to those developers will follow later.

Best regards, Asmo Saarela
Test Lead
