Customer Satisfaction

Testlify helps you identify the best talent from anywhere in the world, with a seamless experience that candidates and hiring teams love every step of the way.

1

Agile methodologies

Jira is a project management tool that supports Agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban. Agile methodologies emphasize collaboration, flexibility, and continuous improvement in software development. Jira’s Agile features enable teams to plan, track, and release projects using Agile methodologies. This includes features such as backlog management, sprint planning, and tracking of tasks and their progress. By using Jira’s Agile features, teams can streamline their Agile processes and better manage the development of their projects.

2

Custom Fields

Custom fields in Jira are user-defined fields that can be added to a Jira issue to store additional information specific to your organization’s needs. These fields can be used to capture information that is not included in the default fields available in Jira, such as project-specific data, additional metadata, or data used to support custom workflows or reports. Custom fields can be created in Jira for different types of data such as text, numbers, dates, and user selections, among others. Custom fields can be added to a specific project, or can be made available for use in all projects within a Jira instance. They can also be used in conjunction with other Jira features such as filters, reports, and gadgets.

3

Project and issue management

Project management in Jira involves creating projects, defining workflows, setting up components, versions, and custom fields, and assigning project roles to team members. Teams can also use Jira’s agile features, such as Scrum and Kanban boards, to manage their projects. Issue management in Jira is the process of tracking and resolving individual tasks or problems within a project. Issues in Jira are represented as “tickets” that contain information such as a description of the issue, its priority, and its status. Teams can use Jira’s issue-tracking features to assign issues to team members, set due dates, track progress, and resolve issues in a timely manner.

4

Workflows

Workflows in Jira are a set of defined steps and transitions that represent the process of moving an issue from creation to resolution. A workflow defines the states a case can be in, and the transitions between those states. Workflows can also define the conditions and validations that must be met before a transition can occur, and the actions that should be taken automatically when a transition occurs. Workflows in Jira can be used to represent different processes for different issue types, such as bug tracking, feature requests, or support tickets. They can also be customized to meet the specific needs of a team or project. For example, a workflow can be created to reflect a team’s specific review and approval process or to enforce specific rules for assigning and resolving issues.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
