Usage

Learn how to use Currents Jira Integration

Once enabled, you can create new or link an existing Jira issue directly from test execution details in Currents. You can also explore previously created or linked issues that are linked to the current test.

Browse Linked Jira Issues

1. Open any test execution details in Currents

2. Look for the Jira icon (only visible when integration is enabled). If there existing (previously linked) Jira Issues related to the test, you will see a counter next to Jira icon.

A test has 2 linked Jira Issues

A test has no existing Jira Issues

By clicking on the icon you can:

• Explore linked Jira Issues

• Create a new Jira Issue

• Link an additional existing Issue

1. Select the Jira Project and Issue Type

Notes

• The integration creates one-way links from Currents to Jira

• Deleting or closing Jira Issue do not remove those issues in Currents - you will need to do that manually

• Comments include a link back to the relevant test in Currents

Limitations

Required Jira issue custom properties

Problem: Jira issues allows required custom properties when an issue is created depending on the issue type. This is currently not supported in our integration, as we can't send custom payload to the create issue endpoint.

Solution: Two options are available to overcome this issue. First,

• Don't enforce custom properties as required.

• Use a different issue type that has no required custom properties.
