How to store and manage session notes (in confluence)?

Some possible reasons for documenting session notes in Confluence are:

  • knowledge transfer
  • compliance
  • something else.

Depending on the need of the testing notes the right solution can be chosen.

In one company I added my testing notes to the Jira tickets. If an auditor would check my work, then he, she or they could read my notes whether I folllowed the proper procedures. The auditor did not need to jump to another system to validate my steps.

My scrum master questioned my approach. A word processor had to be used and then the document had to be scanned. So this was not helpful. I added notes in the remarks field of the Jira ticket. Over time the developers copied this: they used bullet list and markers to indicate wheter a certain test had passed or failed.
