Jira defect linking for automated test results

Support

Hi everyone,

I am currently analyzing the integration between automated JUnit test results in Testiny and Jira.

For manual test cases, it is possible to directly create or link defects to Jira issues, and the traceability is visible in Jira.

However, for automated tests imported via JUnit reports, I could not find a similar functionality:

  • no option to create or link defects

  • no direct Jira linking for automated test results

  • only the possibility to copy links to the automation run or result

I also found the documentation stating that automated test cases are currently separate from manual test cases and cannot yet be linked automatically.

My question is:

Is there currently any recommended way to link automated test failures or automation test cases with Jira defects/issues similar to manual testing?

For example:

  • linking failed automation results to Jira bugs

  • making automation results visible in Jira

  • connecting automation test cases with existing manual test cases and their Jira traceability

Or is this currently not supported and planned for a future release?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the Testiny forum!

First, you can already link defects to automation results now and these links will also show up in Jira if you have the Testiny Jira Addon installed. See more in the Testiny docs:

Second, regarding connection automation test cases with manual test cases, we are actively working on this feature, see the following feature request:

So, I’m pretty confident that we will soon have all that functionality in Testiny :smiley:

Best regards,
Alex
