Specify Folder Issue Type
The folders used to organize requirements in the project tree are themselves Jira issues with their own type. The issue type to be used for folders is determined by the Jira administrator. Issues of the folder type have additional functionality with easeRequirements:
The folder and issue contents can be displayed in the Reading View mode.
The display of the issues included in a folder can be collapsed or expanded.
Aggregate values of certain fields (e.g. count of states and types) for the issues contained in the folder are provided.
The selected folder issue type must be associated with the Issue Type Scheme of projects activated for easeRequirements.
The app overrides the issue type icon for the Folder for the sake of a consistent tree view appearance.
Specify Coverage Percentage Formula
You can choose between two different formulas to use when computing the coverage statistics in the coverage view.
Changing the formula affects all saved coverage views of all projects.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Issue based Calculation | The percentage is calculated based on the not covered issues from previous column divided by the total issues from previous column: a = number of ISSUES in PREVIOUS column
b = number of ISSUES in PREVIOUS column NOT COVERED in CURRENT column
coverage = (a - b) / a * 100This is the default formula. |
Row based Calculation | The percentage is calculated based on the not covered rows from previous column divided by the total rows from previous column: a = TOTAL number of ROWS in PREVIOUS column
b = number of ROWS NOT COVERED in CURRENT column
coverage = (a - b) / a * 100 |
