Supported Systems
SpecSync for Jira supports the following Jira versions:
- Jira Cloud
- Jira Server / Data Center v9
- Jira Server / Data Center v8
As Jira does not have a built-in Test Case Management (TCM) solution, teams using Jira need to choose from different TCM solutions in Jira. The different solutions require different synchronization solutions, but we are committed to provide support for the TCM solutions of our clients.
The following Jira TCM solutions are currently supported or planned.
| Jira TCM Solution | Supported Jira Versions | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Jira TCM Customization | Jira Cloud Jira Server / Data Center v9 Jira Server / Data Center v8 | This solution works with any Jira projects. You need to add a custom issue type to store the Test Cases (e.g. ‘Test Case’) and a custom field in the issue type to store the Test Case steps as formatted text (e.g. ‘Test Case Steps’). Optionally you can also define a custom field for storing the scenario in Gherkin format as well. Publishing test execution results and synchronizing hierarchies are currently not supported. |
| Zephyr Scale | Jira Server / Data Center v9 | Support for Jira projects using the Zephyr Scale extension app (formerly Test Management for Jira, TM4J). Specifying “folder” for Test Cases is supported, but synchronizing hierarchies are currently not yet available. |
We plan to support Xray and Zephyr Squad as well, if you would like to use SpecSync for Jira with Xray, please contact us for the expected availability.
