Configuring Jira plugins to connect to Jenkins


Each of the synapseRT, Zephyr, and Test Management tools for Jira plugins have their own way of connecting with CI/CD tools, such as Jenkins. We will be looking at how to install and configure each of these Jira plugins for Jenkins.

synapseRT

synapseRT comes pre-installed with integration with CI/CD tools. Let's configure the plugin to connect to our Jenkins installation:

  1. Go to Administration | Add-ons | synapseRT | Integration and click on the Add button.
  2. Set Jenkins as the Type of application and provide the Jenkins URL. In our case, we have hosted Jira on a Docker instance, while Jenkins is hosted on the localhost at port 8081. Hence, we provide http://host.docker.internal:8081 as the URL instead ofhttp://localhost:8081, along with the User and Password for the Jenkins instance:
