Working with Issue Tracker
QuickBuild works with issue tracker tightly:
- Hyperlink the issues in SCM commit messages to issue tracker
- Generate an issues report which will show you all the issues related with a build and also you can list all issues from a specified build.
- List all changed files against an issue
- Update issue status via SCM commit messages
- Release a version/milestone to issue tracker
- Add the fixed version/milestone for issues mentioned in SCM commit messages
- Create an issue via a step which is useful if you want to track the build status in your issue tracker
Developers can now update their issues via commit commands and need not update their issues manually from Issue Tracker GUI. Moreover, QuickBuild can manage or release a version to issue tracker and also update fixed version field or something equivalent of the issues which can help you generate the release notes easily.
