Bonfire 1.4 Available: Introducing Tags for Session Notes
Tuesday, 18 October 2011 20:57
Atlassian Bonfire 1.4 is here, helping teams organize information gathered during manual testing with new tags for session notes. Read on to discover how to use tags to speed up your testing process and related activity.
Tag Session Notes
Testers use session notes to capture relevant assumptions, questions, or ideas that come up during a test session. Bonfire 1.4 brings a new level of organization around this information with tags. Tags are an easy way to flag information during testing, and let everyone retrieve relevant notes later.
- #f - follow up
- #! - assumption
- #? - question
- #i - idea
Tags make it quick and easy to make sense of all your testing notes. During a session, testers can see all tagged notes as they come up, while a team lead may filter a sub-set of tags to find just questions and assumptions that are open.
User Activity
Tags make it easy to find relevant information related to testing, and the Bonfire team knows sometimes that information is user-specific. Sessions, notes and tags are in the new Test Sessions tab in user profiles, showing all Bonfire activity related to each user.
This per-user activity is available to anyone. A great way to find all the bugs filed by someone you know has a unique test environment, or to come back to your own tagged ideas any time.
Bonfire 1.4 and tags make it fast and easy to create and organize all your testing activity.
