Viewing Closed Defects from Jira
Zephyr provides full traceability when tracking and tracing your defects across both Zephyr and Jira. If a Jira defect is closed from within the Jira instance, the same Jira defect that is displayed when searching and viewing defects in Zephyr has its’ defect ID crossed-out. The status of the Jira defect will also be changed to “Done” and this is done to show that the defect is now closed.
For example, if you create a defect in Jira and search for it in Zephyr, it will be displayed. Once you close the defect in Jira, it will reflect the changes in Zephyr and cross out the defect ID and change the status to closed. Users may need to refresh the page or search again to see the reflected changes.
