Hello.

Within our project we have seperated development and testing teams. How can we automize that once a user story is set done by the developers it appears in the backlog of the testing team automatically?

Hi @TFG Transfracht 

How does a story move between the Development and Testing Teams?

For example, is this two separate issues (one for development, one for testing) - or is "done" for a developer a status part way through the workflow?

If it's the latter - a method I've seen used in the past is:

  • Create two boards - one for development, one for testing
  • Place the last status in the development board in their last column - from a report perspective, this is viewed as "done" for that board
  • Set the same status within the first column for the testing board - treated as "to do" from a report perspective in this instance
  • Map each team's statuses before (development) and after (testing) this linking status on each respective board

^ This means that issues which are done in one board are ready to be worked on in another!

This should be fine if it's a Kanban board - once the issue moved into the next status it will drop off the board. If it's a Scrum board and issues can continue to move in the same sprint, then the issue would be classed as "removed from sprint" - in this instance, you might want to put the last development status and all testing statuses in the last column of the development board, so it remains visible from a sprint completion / reporting perspective.

If this isn't what you're looking to achieve, please provide more information based on the questions above!
