Report bugs using Jira integration

Live enables you to report bugs or issues while testing your websites or web apps through Jira integration. With Jira integration, all metadata about your test session such as the browser and its version, OS and its version, device, resolution, etc. are automatically added. You can also annotate screenshots while reporting an issue by using the Live annotation toolbar.
