Milestones

1. Overview

Milestones in AgileTest are used to define important testing checkpoints and set a clear timeline for testing progress, such as a sprint completion, release testing phase, or major feature validation.

QA teams can group all testing items (test executions, test runs, and test sessions) under a specific milestone. Based on these item statuses, the milestone reflects accumulated testing progress, along with showing timelines and pass rates. You can utilize these results to track testing progress against the planned timeline, monitor ongoing testing activities, and understand whether testing is on schedule over time.

2. Locate Milestones

To view milestones in AgileTest, you can navigate to the Milestone section on the left-hand side menu bar.

When you open the Milestones section, you will see two tabs:

• Active: Display milestones that are currently in progress, past due, or not yet started. This view helps you track and manage ongoing testing goals and timelines.

• Completed: Store milestones that have been finished. This allows you to review and keep a record of all completed milestones for reference and reporting purposes.

3. Create Milestones

To create Milestones in AgileTest, follow these steps:

1. Click on the “+ Milestone” button.

2. Fill in the Milestone details.

• Name: Enter a clear name for the milestone that represents the testing goal or phase

• Parent: Choose where this milestone sits in the milestone hierarchy.

  • Select the “Root” if this is a top-level milestone.

  • Select another milestone if this one is a sub-milestone.

• Linking relationship: Define how this milestone is aligned with your development timeline

  • None: The milestone is not tied to a sprint or release and is standalone in AgileTest.

  • Link with sprint: Link this milestone with a specific Jira sprint.

  • Link with release: Link this milestone with a Jira release.

• Planned Start Date: Specify when work for this milestone is planned to begin (for standalone milestones).

• Planned End Date: Specify the target completion date for this milestone (for standalone milestones).

3. Click the “Create” button to finish.
