Introduction about Jira tool

What is JIRA?

JIRA is a widely used project and issue tracking tool developed by Atlassian, originally built for bug tracking but now used broadly for Agile project management, including Scrum and Kanban boards.

Why Testers Use JIRA

• Logging and tracking defects (bugs) found during testing.
• Managing user stories, tasks, and sprints for Agile teams.
• Linking test cases and defects to requirements for traceability.
• Generating reports on team velocity, defect trends, and release readiness.

Core Building Blocks

JIRA is organized around Projects, which contain Issues; each Issue moves through a Workflow of statuses (like To Do, In Progress, Done) as work progresses.
