Bonfire is a plugin from Jira, which allows to create sessions, to collaborate between members to perform exploratory testing.
From Administration->Plugin->search and install the plugin.
If you don't have Jira installed, then you can install the standalone version that is available as a 30 day free trial.
Generate license from my atlassian
From Administration->Plugins->Bonfire, paste the license and click add.
administration->Plugins->bonfire settings->Install bonfire for your browser
users would need re-indexing - during this time, Jira will not be accessible
->Test Sessions->Create session
Create a Test session from the desired project. The default assignee will be the user who creates the session.
The current version of bonfire does not support multiple assignees.
Make sure the users who wants to join the session have permission as Assignable User to this project.
Once this is done, download the Bonfire plugin for the browser (currently supports FF, chrome, safari and internet explorer)
Then you are set to go!
The plugin from the browser allows you to use bonfire effectively.
- Create issues directly, without switching tabs
- Start and pause the sessions
- Direct edits of screenshots
- Create pre defined templates for issues
- Create variables that can be used in templates that can capture information like env, browser details etc dynamically
- Join/unjoin sessions
- Sharing of templates [To share a template created by another user, you need to set them as favourite. Only then you will be able to use it.]
- Usage of wiki markup for tags like questions, follow-up items etc and mark them complete once they are done.
- Filter on tags, sessions, providing consolidation of team work
While there are specific gadgets for greenhopper that you can use to create Dashboards, there are no such gadgets available for Bonfire testsessions.
You'll have to go by the labels that are assigned.
On the whole, it will be a very useful plugin, which can
- ease the time taken to filing issues
- coordinate group testing sessions
- exploratory testing
- customer beta test sessions
