JIRA Bug Reporting Integration


Testsigma Jira integration lets you create issues in Jira directly from the Testsigma app. With simple one-click integration, you can push annotated issues to a project of your choice, assign them to a teammate, and attach screenshots, all while in the middle of a test session in the Testsigma platform. The fields populated by you when marking a bug through Testsigma are displayed as information on the Jira ticket for a testing instance.

In this document, we will discuss how to establish Integration with Jira from your Testsigma account and how to create bug reports from Testsigma which can flow into Jira as issues.

If you want to link to an existing issue on JIRA, click on the Link to Issue button, search for an existing issue in the search field and click on Link Issue to add a link to an existing Issue on JIRA. Otherwise, enter the bug details in the form as required.

When the bug is created, some additional details regarding the Test Result such as the Test Execution Video and Step Screenshots are automatically added to the Issue on JIRA by Testsigma. This helps the developer who checks the issue in JIRA to understand the issue/bug better with more context.
