Creating JIRA Items

The plugin adds the JIRA button to the ReadyAPI toolbar. You click this button to create JIRA items directly from ReadyAPI.

The entire procedure is as follows:

1. Run your test in ReadyAPI. You can create an item after the test is over.

2. Make sure a test step, test case, test suite or test project is selected in the Navigator panel (it is on the left of the application window).

3. Click JIRA on the toolbar:

The Create a new item dialog will appear:

In the dialog, select your JIRA project and item type, and click OK.

4. ReadyAPI will read information about item fields from JIRA and will display the dialog, where you can specify these fields’ values:

Note: the required fields have a red frame.

Three options at the bottom of the dialog box let you attach the test log, your test project and arbitrary files to the new item:

5. After you specified the item fields, click OK. The plugin will pass the entered data to JIRA.

If the item has been created successfully, the plugin will display a message with the item’s URL like this --

Otherwise, you will see an error message.
