Jira QA Dashboard Gadget – Real-Time Quality Monitoring Across Defect Categories

We developed a powerful Jira gadget designed to help teams proactively monitor quality across multiple issue categories. The "Quality Assurance Dashboard Gadget" aggregates defect-related data across projects and provides intuitive, real-time pass/fail metrics that highlight critical quality concerns at a glance.

Users can define category-specific thresholds to evaluate whether quality expectations are met. The gadget then assigns pass/fail status based on configured criteria and visually displays this information on Jira dashboards. It helps QA and development teams instantly detect performance deviations and take corrective actions before release cycles are impacted.
