The JIRA Dashboard at the center of your development process

More than just an issues dashboard JIRA dashboards provide a view into JIRA issues and activity, but can also display any OpenSocial gadgets, including those from your Confluence wiki, FishEye source control browser, Crucible code review tool and Bamboo continuous integration build server. Previous blog posts discussed how Atlassians software development tools all integrate with your JIRA issue tracking system: JIRA + FisheyeJIRA + CrucibleJIRA +Bamboo Let's take a look at how you can collect data

Protip: Bamboo continuous integration linked with FishEye source code

In a previous protip post we showed how you can open a file in Eclipse or IntelliJ from your FishEye source code viewer or Crucible code review tool. Atlassian's tools have many more useful integrations points, which can be enabled by following the Here Be Dragons integration guide. One of the most useful integrations is to connect your Bamboo continuous integration server with FishEye to view the code changes that triggered a build. Bamboo provides fast feedback on the changes to your source code.

A comment by Siri Vias Khalsa from Verifi explained how he has tackled code reviews and workflow: We have Crucible reviews integrated into our Jira workflow. Add a condition to the transition going out of the "Review" stage that wont allow you to progress until you created reviews for all commits

JIRA Integration (Part 3): Integrate Bamboo builds with JIRA issues

Previously I discussed how JIRA can integrate with Crucible for code reviews (part 1) and FishEye for source control integration (part 2). In this post I'll show you how JIRA can fit into your Bamboo continuous integration build process. Builds and Issues Continuous integration provides fast feedback to developers about the impact of code changes by running builds and tests every time changes are committed to your source control system. Bamboo is an easy-to-use continuous integration server that

This is the second of a three part blog series on JIRA integration. In part 1 of the series we started off discussing the value of linking issues and code reviews, we now move on to relating source code to your issues. Source Code and Issues Open up any development toolbox and you are guaranteed to find two things - an issue tracker and a source code management tool (SCM). Your issue tracker is keeping tabs on the work being done and your SCM is the actual work getting done. Integrating these tools
