Jira Integration Standards

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

1. Retrieving Issue Details

• Fetch Core Info: Retrieve Summary, Description, Acceptance Criteria (AC), and Components.
• Jira Key: ALWAYS reference issue by its unique Jira Ticket ID (e.g., TICK-123).
• Sibling Analysis: Identify other Jira issues with same Component or Market Variants (VN/MY/SG) to find potentially impacted Zephyr TCs.
• Identify Links: Use Get Issue Link Test Cases with Jira issue key to check for existing linked TCs before creating duplicates.
• Actor Mapping: Extract reporter, assignee, and Story Points for context.

2. Linking Zephyr Test Cases

• Traceability: After creating Zephyr Test Case, link it back to corresponding Jira Issue using Remote Link or Zephyr Issue Link.
• Format: Use Zephyr Scale key (e.g., PROJ-T123) in Jira link or comment.
• Labels: Apply has-zephyr-tests label to Jira issue once test cases successfully linked.

3. Jira-Zephyr Workflow

1. Fetch: Get Jira User Story details.
2. Generate: Create Zephyr Test Case using generation skill.
3. Link: Use SmartBear MCP tool Create Test Case Issue Link to bridge two.
4. Notify: Add comment to Jira: Linked Zephyr Test Case: {test_case_key}.

4. Best Practices

• Concise Summaries: Keep Jira comments professional and brief.
• Traceability Matrix: Ensure every AC in Jira at least one linked Zephyr Test Case.
• Cleanup: Remove unused labels or outdated links during refactors.

5. Anti-Patterns

• No Ghosting: Create tests then link to Jira (Traceability).
• No Spam: Post single comment per link.
• No Missing Labels: Update Jira labels after linking.
