Jira integration in Katalon Platform overview

Katalon Studio can integrate with Jira Cloud, and Jira Data Center (Jira Server). To enable Jira Integration in Katalon Studio, follow this guide: Enable Jira integration in Katalon Studio.

Jira Software is a project management tool that helps you plan, assign, track, manage, and report on your work. Jira Software can be customized to fit in with any type of project, and for many different use cases. To learn more about Jira use cases, refer to this Jira document: What is Jira used for?

With Jira - Katalon Platform integration, you can manage test cases with linked Jira tickets, and create Behavior-driven development (BDD) test scenarios alongside related requirements and stories.

Integrating Jira with Katalon Studio helps you:

• Import test cases from Jira to Katalon Studio to create test cases and run BDD tests.
• Automatically submit test results and test reports to the linked Jira issue. See View test results in Jira tickets.
• Submit an issue to Jira directly from the test reports page of Katalon Studio. See Submit an issue from Katalon Studio to Jira.

This document gives information about the Jira - Katalon Platform integration workflow.

Configure Jira integration

Katalon Platform uses 2 plugins and 1 optional extension to integrate with Jira:

1. You need a plugin on Jira side for both Katalon TestOps and Katalon Studio integration. In Jira, install this plugin from the Atlassian Marketplace website: Katalon Studio and TestOps integration.
2. If you use Katalon Studio as your test authoring tool, you need to install this plugin from the Katalon Store to enable Jira integration in Katalon Studio: Jira Integration.
3. Optional: This Chrome extension allows you to submit test run defects from TestOps to Jira: Katalon Integration.

To complete the integration setup, follow these guides:
