Track how many issues have failed in a status

[Madhavi Gopavajjula]

I want to track how many times issues have failed in QA status in my project.  How can I do that?

Bit tricky. You need to have a number custom field to capture the number of times and then have a workflow post function to increase it every time the issue fails QA (assuming you have a workflow transition when the issue fails).

Increasing the custom field value can be done using plugins like JIRA Misc Workflow Extensions (as mentioned here) or scripted using a plugin like Scriptrunner.

Thank you Jobin.  Need to get this custom field configured. Is it not possible by a JQL query with the existing configuration of fields?

Not possible with the standard config. You find issues that are failed but not a given number of times.
