Connect Jira to Test Companion
Jira tickets often contain the acceptance criteria, edge cases, and any issue details you need to test. When you connect Jira to Test Companion, you can paste a Jira ticket link in chat and Test Companion automatically reads the ticket context. You no longer need to copy details into the Test Companion manually.
This helps you generate test cases and automate faster while staying inside your Test Companion.
After you connect Jira, you can:
- Generate test cases from a user story or any issue type by pasting the Jira link in chat.
- Turn ticket driven scenarios into automation code by asking for scripts in your framework.
Test Companion can only fetch tickets that your Jira account can access. In other words, Jira permissions still apply when Test Companion reads ticket context.
Prerequisites
Before you start, confirm these:
- Install Test Companion in your IDE and are signed in.
- Complete the Jira integration flow to connect your Jira account.
- You can open the Jira ticket in your browser.
Use Jira ticket links in Test Companion chat
Test Companion reads the issue title and description from the linked ticket(s) and uses them as context for your request. It supports any Jira issue type, including Stories, Bugs, Tasks, Epics, and custom issue types.
After you connect Jira, use Jira links directly in the Test Companion chat.
- Open Test Companion in IDE.
-
Paste one or more Jira ticket links in the chat message.
- Enter your prompt clearly outlining how you want Test Companion to handle the tickets.
- Click Send message (➤).
If the task was interrupted because Jira was not connected yet, repeat the same prompt after completing the Jira integration flow to connect your Jira account.
Auto-link requirements to generated test cases
When you share a requirement ticket (such as a User Story or Epic) and generate test cases from it, Test Companion automatically populates the Requirement field in Test Management with the ticket link. This gives you traceability from requirement to test case without any extra steps.
What Test Companion reads from Jira
When you paste a Jira link in chat, Test Companion fetches all standard fields from the ticket. This includes:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Issue Key | The unique identifier for the ticket. |
| Summary | The title of the ticket. |
| Description | The full description, including acceptance criteria. |
| Issue Type | Story, Bug, Task, Epic, or any custom type. |
| Status | The current workflow status of the ticket. |
| Priority | The priority level assigned to the ticket. |
This release does not support Jira custom fields.
Known limitations
- Read-only access: Test Companion reads ticket context from Jira. It does not create, edit, or update tickets in Jira.
