| 1 | The XWiki project currently uses [[JIRA>>https://jira.xwiki.org/]]. | ||

| 4 | There's work under way to explore using [[Open Project>>https://op.xwiki.org/]] as a [[replacement>>design:Proposal.JIRAAlternatives]] since the project cannot move to JIRA Cloud which would have volume restrictions for a large project such as XWiki (assuming we could get an Open Source License), and we have a preference for using an open source solution. | ||

| 21 | == Must Have == | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | * REQM01: Be able to issue queries to find issues (e.g. JQL for JIRA), including global search in all projects. It's used in lots of places, including on hundreds of pages on xwiki.org | ||
| 24 | * REQM02: Be able to label issues. We're using [[the following labels>>dev:Community.IssueTracker.JIRA.WebHome||anchor="HRule:Usetherightlabels"]] | ||
| 25 | * REQM03: Be able to have several resolutions for issues (Won't fix, Fixed, Duplicate, Solved By, etc.) | ||
| 26 | * REQM04: Be able to have categories (components in JIRA parlance) | ||
| 27 | * REQM05: Be able to automatically link GitHub commits with JIRA issues (i.e., links from JIRA to the commits) | ||
| 28 | * REQM06: Be able to have [[several issue types>>dev:Community.IssueTracker.JIRA.WebHome||anchor="HRule:Choosetherightissuetype"]] | ||
| 29 | * REQM07: Be able to have graphs to follow, for example, [[the number of bugs created vs resolved>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10352]] | ||
| 30 | * REQM08: Be able to have REST endpoints to create XWiki macros (e.g., the JIRA macro) or scripting in xwiki pages | ||
| 31 | * REQM09: Be able to have several projects (one for each repo) | ||
| 32 | * REQM10: Be able to have several groups ([[categories in JIRA>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10000]] parlance) | ||
| 33 | * REQM11: Be able to mass refactor issues (select issues with a query and then apply changes to all of them: add a fix version, etc.) | ||
| 34 | * REQM12: Be able to set permissions/groups/roles for authorization | ||
| 35 | * REQM13: Be publicly accessible | ||
| 36 | * REQM14: Be able to self-register and create issues | ||
| 37 | * REQM15: Be able to have shared schemes to share configs between projects (permission scheme, workflow scheme, etc.) | ||
| 38 | * REQM16: Be able to define custom fields (we use that for documentation and flickering tests for example) | ||
| 39 | * REQM17: Be able to receive notifications (individual or to a notification list) | ||
| 40 | * REQM18: Be able to import existing issues from the current issue tracker (e.g. JIRA) and not loose metadata ideally | ||
| 41 | * REQM19: Be able to move issues (and not have to close and copy issues) | ||
| 42 | * REQM20: Be able to link between issues (“depends on”, “is related to”, etc.) | ||
| 43 | * REQM21: Be able to see the detailed history of the issue | ||
| 44 | * REQM22: Be able to add attachments and display pictures/video integrations | ||
| 45 | * REQM23: Be able to have priorities, including a Blocker priority. | ||
| 46 | * REQM24: Be able to have statuses (open, in progress, closed) | ||
| 47 | * REQM25: Be able to self-register confidential issues (e.g. for security issues) | ||
| 48 | * REQM26: Be able to have different fields for different projects (e.g. some projects don't have the notion of Version) | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | == Nice to have == | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | * REQN01: Be able to have dashboards for releases (e.g. [[JIRA Dashboard>>https://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=15691]]) | ||
| 53 | * REQN02: Be able to see similar issues when creating new issues to avoid duplicating existing issues | ||
| 54 | * REQN03: Be able to execute scripts inside the issue tracker to query issues and perform changes | ||
| 55 | * REQN04: Be able to link issues with issues from an external bug tracker (Apache JIRA instance, etc.) | ||
| 56 | * REQN05: Be able to sponsor issues (e.g. we used to use FreedomSponsors in the past) |
