This is perfect for teams that need strong QA but still primarily use Jira ![Jira does not have native test management functionality](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Jira-does-not-have-native-test-management-functionality.png?quality=75&webp=92) 2 ## Jira can’t organise user stories that were repurposed as “test cases” Connect multiple test cases right in [Jira](https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira) to increase requirement coverage with test cases. Run tests from Jira and review execution history there ![Jira can’t organise user stories that were repurposed as “test cases”](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Jira-cant-organise-user-stories-that-were-repurposed-as-test-cases.png?quality=75&webp=92) 3 ## Jira does not have test reports aqua sends test reports straight to Jira, where you can further enhance them with Jira’s reporting functionality. Test execution history is also available on your Jira server ![Jira does not have test reports](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Jira-does-not-have-test-reports.png?quality=75&webp=92) ## Install aqua plugin on Jira or use these solutions independently 1 ## Run aqua test cases while tracking defects in Jira Create defects in Jira as you execute aqua test cases. You can also link existing Jira defects and issues to aqua test cases, browse summaries, and establish dependencies between items from aqua and Jira. ![Run aqua test cases while tracking defects in Jira](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Run-aqua-test-cases-while-tracking-defects-in-Jira.png?quality=75&webp=92) 2 ## Keep dev and QA effort in perfect sync aqua projects can be fully integrated with Jira. Changes to Jira tickets will be reflected in aqua and vice versa. This is the best of two worlds: your devs continue to use Jira while testers work with an industry-leading [test management software](https://aqua-cloud.io/). ![Keep dev and QA effort in perfect syncvv](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Keep-dev-and-QA-effort-in-perfect-sync.png?quality=75&webp=92) 3 ## Centralise requirements across tools Working in Jira but checking requirements in aqua or vice versa gets tedious. The solution: link them and designate one solution as the point of truth. Your teammates can stay in the tool they like and also use the other as a backup. Changes in one tool will automatically apply in the other, but you may stick to one-way link if needed. ![Centralise requirements across tools](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Centralise-requirements-across-tools.png?quality=75&webp=92) 4 ## Eliminate manual effort with real-time updates No more redundant data entry. With fields and values syncing, changes like priority, status, or custom attributes are automatically mirrored between aqua and Jira. Focus on actual work, not updating tools ![fields and value](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/fields-and-value.webp?quality=75&webp=92) 5 ## Clear accountability with User Mapping Never wonder who did what. With aqua’s user mapping, actions and updates are correctly attributed, leaving no room for confusion and boosting trust between teams. Every action has a clear owner, no matter which tool they use ![fields mapping](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/General-aqua-and-Jira-fields-compatibility-Documentation-aqua-cloud-01-11-2025_07_36_PM.png?quality=75&webp=92) 6 ## Achieve 100% sync and beyond: attachments and context Stay efficient and stress-free with ticket content and attachment sync. Keep every conversation on track by syncing descriptions, comments, and updates consistently across aqua and Jira. That is not is: attached files are also synced, so you have the right resources at your fingertips without endless back-and-forth ![attachments](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/attachments.png?quality=75&webp=92) ## Try test case management tool with Jira integration for free ## Read up on 12+ integrations ## aqua is the ALM for all your needs ![image](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/jira-features-1.png?quality=75&webp=92) ### Infinite scaling Unlimited number of test cases. aqua works fast even with millions of items and doesn’t face the performance limitations that test management tools for Jira do Unlimited number of test cases. aqua works fast even with millions of items and doesn’t face the performance limitations that test management tools for Jira do ![image](https://eoz4dhyqpac.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/jira-features-2.png?quality=75&webp=92) ### Manual & automated tests Don’t be limited to Jira's integrations only.

This allows real-time updates and traceability. Using a dedicated test management tool enhances coverage and ensures information is always current in your Jira environment. Jira does not have native test management features, but integrates with test management systems via plugins or APIs. This enables managing test cases, results, and traceability within Jira using integration tools. With Jira test management integration, defects raised during test execution can be created or synced directly as Jira issues. This helps streamline workflows and ensures defects are tracked in both systems. Jira test management integration can sync issues, statuses, attachments, comments, requirements, and test case links. This ensures consistent, up-to-date data across both platforms for traceability and reporting. X 🤖 Exciting new updates to aqua AI Assistant are now available! 🎉
