To add a connection to JIRA, you will need to configure an external system connection. If you have an existing JIRA 4 - 5.1 external system connection, you can upgrade to use the new JIRA Plugin.
Enterprise Tester can be configured to integrate with JIRA to allow the synchronization of incidents and requirements with Issues and/or Requirements in JIRA.
Enterprise Tester report charts can also be added to your JIRA Dashboard. Integration promotes the collaboration between teams by having real time information available across your project team.
The JIRA Plugin has been introduced with the release of V4.8. It solely used the JIRA REST API for integration and provides a more feature rich integration with JIRA. This included sub-task synchronization support, smoother workflow integration, no limitation on the number of entities that can be synchronized between ET and JIRA and project specific pick list values. This plugin supports JIRA 5.2 and above.
Some configuration is required to establish this connection. See Configuring ET for JIRA 5.2 and Above . A user with Administrator privileges will have access to complete this configuration.
