We rarely put affects version, fix version should be easy since the 
tests are updated
for a specific release of the projects/products.

If not - it sounds like you are doing things that aren't even used which 
I know is not true.

Just looking at the issue list on 
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-integration-stack-tests/issues 
most
relates directly to Jira's.

I don't grok this - *any* test is related to *some* of our projects (and 
thus eventually product).

I don't grok what that means. It is trivial to create a pull request for 
jira's too - you just
refer to the jira in your commit and when opening pull-request it is 
automatically wired up and linked
to the jira issue.

currently none of this is visible anywhere outside QE testing which I 
find a shame.

My main concern it spreads overhead and maintenance of what is going on.

The fact that noone in dev seemed aware this useful tracking and extra 
work on the tests was going
on indicate to me the big issue of spreading our tracking of issues 
across multiple issue trackers.

If you were commenting on the actual related jiras and opened specific 
test suite bugs in the relevant projects
your work would be much more visible and understood better - heck, it 
might be improved because dev would
notice you guys constantly have to keep adjusting things.

tests is as much part of our development as the unit tests and runtime 
code is - it should be linked to
the issues it is done for IMO.

That are my concerns.

Can't we find a better less segregated way for this ?
