Chapter 11. Jira Integration with Automated Testing Tools

In the previous chapters, we have learned what test management is and how Jira helps SQA teams manage the testing process effectively. Now, let's see how Jira and the DevOps pipeline can be leveraged to automate and manage test execution to improve agility in the development life cycle.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding the DevOps pipeline
  • Configuring Jira plugins to connect to Jenkins
  • Understanding an example workflow to integrate and execute automated scripts

We will also learn how Jira helps with continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) in a software project.
