Effective Jira Test Management with TestKase
Two ways to connect Jira with TestKase — a lightweight API link or a full native Forge app inside Jira. Link test cases to Jira issues, view execution status, track cycles, and monitor defects — all without leaving your workflow.
Independent Configuration
Each project configures its requirement source and defect source independently. Use Jira for both, or mix with other platforms.
Choose Your Integration Depth
Both options connect Jira Cloud with TestKase. The API link is fast to set up. The Forge app brings TestKase directly into every Jira issue.
Jira Link — API Integration
Quick API-based setup. Enter your Jira Cloud URL, email, and API token — select a project and issue types, then start linking test cases to Jira issues directly from TestKase.
Enter Credentials
Jira Cloud URL, email address, and API token. Supports both Cloud and Enterprise instances.
Select Jira Project
Choose which Jira project to connect. One Jira project maps to exactly one TestKase project.
Pick Issue Types
Select which issue types (Story, Bug, Epic, Task) to include when searching for requirements.
Start Linking
Search Jira issues from TestKase and link them to test cases. A tracking comment is auto-posted on the Jira issue.
What You Get
Bi-directional Linking
Link test cases to Jira issues. A rich comment with all linked test cases and direct URLs is auto-posted on the Jira issue.
Auto-Comments on Jira
Every link creates or updates a comment on the Jira issue listing all mapped test cases — visible to your entire team in Jira.
On-Demand Status Sync
Refresh Jira issue statuses with one click. See To Do, In Progress, Done — without leaving TestKase.
View Linked Test Cases per Issue
See all test cases covering a Jira issue with execution status, cycle info, and pass/fail results.
Coverage & Defect Tracking
Track which requirements are covered, partially tested, or untested. Defects auto-link to the requirement chain.
Jira Sync — Forge App
Install the free TestKase Forge app in your Jira Cloud instance. It adds a native panel to every Jira issue — your team can see test cases, execution results, test cycles, and defects without ever leaving Jira.
Install the Forge App
Install the free TestKase app from Atlassian Marketplace into your Jira Cloud instance. Runs on Atlassian's managed infrastructure.
Authenticate with PAT
Each team member enters their TestKase Personal Access Token in the Jira issue panel — one-time setup per user.
Admin Maps Projects
Your TestKase admin links the Jira project to a TestKase project from settings. The Forge app auto-detects the mapping.
Work from Jira
View test cases linked to any Jira issue, see execution status across cycles, track defects, and link new test cases — all from the Jira issue panel.
What You Get
RecommendedNative Jira Issue Panel
A dedicated TestKase panel on every Jira issue. View linked test cases with execution status, priority, and direct links back to TestKase.
Test Cases & Execution Status
See all test cases covering the current Jira issue — with pass/fail status, execution date, and which test cycle they belong to.
Test Cycles per Issue
View all test cycles that contain tests linked to this requirement. Track execution history and latest run dates across cycles.
Defect Tracking from Jira
See defects found during test execution — auto-linked through the test case to the Jira requirement. Refresh defect statuses live.
Link & Unlink Test Cases
Map new test cases to the Jira issue or remove existing links — directly from the Forge panel without switching to TestKase.
Secure Per-User Authentication
Each user authenticates with their own PAT. Credentials encrypted on Atlassian Forge infrastructure — no shared service accounts.
All Issue Types Automatically
Works across all Jira issue types without manual filtering. No configuration of which Story/Bug/Epic types to include.
Side-by-Side Comparison
From Jira Issue to Full Traceability
The complete linking journey — from searching an issue to generating an audit-ready coverage report.
Auto-Comment on Jira
When you link a test case, TestKase posts a rich comment on the Jira issue listing all linked tests with direct URLs back to TestKase.
Live Status Refresh
One click to refresh all linked Jira issue statuses. See To Do, In Progress, Done — no tab switching needed.
One Project, One Mapping
Each Jira project connects to exactly one TestKase project. Prevents duplicate or conflicting mappings across teams.
Transitive Defect Chain
Defects logged during test execution auto-link to the test case AND back to the original Jira requirement — full chain visibility.
Cycle-Level Execution Data
View execution results per test cycle for any linked issue. See which cycle ran which tests and when.
Unmapped Test Discovery
Quickly find test cases in your project that aren't linked to any requirement — close coverage gaps before release.
