Has anyone had any experience using JIRA with FinalBuilder - I’ve been informed we are going to be switching to it for issue tracking and possibly source control so need to start thinking about what changes I will need to make to my existing FinalBuilder scripts.
Cheers
Hi Paul,
From my understanding JIRA is a management layer over the top of source control. It does offer issue tracking features, code review, and a few other features. Just wondering which of these you require interaction with through your FinalBuilder scripts.
My existing FinalBuilder scripts interact with MKS for both issue tracking and source control. From the issue tracking point of view I use MKS queries to determine whether or not the build is simple exe changes or also database changes which in turn determines the new version number. It is also used for determining whether or not there is anything to actually build (if there are no issues that have been set to Ready for Build then either the build has been started in error or something hasn’t been checked back in).
My understanding is that Jira is just an issue tracker, not a source control system?

As far as I'm aware it is - we use MKS for both source control and issue tracking at the moment. We would want to look at issues to determine what to set version numbers to in a build, to provide lists of what is included in a given build and to assign issues to testers.
Hi Paul,
I have put forward JIRA issue tracking support as a future feature. We will let you know how the discussions here go.
