The document describes a QA dashboard (QAD) that was implemented for a real software project. The QAD provides structure and visibility into key project metrics through various boards and reports accessible via JIRA and Confluence. It is intended to help address common project issues like poor planning, communication, task distribution, and risk visibility by centralizing important testing and quality metrics.

17. QAD – The Implementation (JIRA Portlet Macro) The Dashboard is the first screen you see when you login to JIRA. It can be configured to display many different types of information, depending on your areas of interest.

18. The JIRA Portlet Macro allows you to display a JIRA dashboard portlet on a Confluence page. JIRA is the issue tracking and project management system supplied by Atlassian. http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Customising+the+Dashboard http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/JIRA+Portlet+Macro Copyright 2010 Petro Porchuk, Lohika
