Link Jira Story/Issue to Existing Test Cycles

Users can link existing test cycles to a Jira story. Once the test cycle is associated, it automatically gets linked to the test cases underneath the story.

Steps:

1. Open the Jira issue detail page.

2. Under the Test Case/Acceptance Criteria panel, click on the ellipsis (...) icon and select Link Story to Existing Test Cycle.

The Link Story to Existing Test Cycle screen opens. It displays the test cycles you created in the QMetry for Jira.

Filter Test Cycles:

A. You can browse test cycles as per the test cycle folder on the tree. It will help you narrow down the test cycle search.

B. If the test cycle list is long, apply filters to the list. You can filter records through search. You can search a particular test cycle by "Issue Key" or “Summary” through the search box.

C. There are more options like Labels, Fix Versions, Sprint, Components, Status, Priority, etc. to narrow down the search.

Note: A maximum of 10 filters, including system as well as custom fields, can be selected at a time.

Select the test cycle you want to add to the Jira issue and click either of the buttons:

Link: Select the test cycle you want to add to the Jira issue and click on the Link button. Once test cycles are linked, the Link Story to Existing Test Cycle screen still remains open to let you link further test cycles.
Link & Close: You can link the selected test cycle with the story and close the pop-up. Select the test cycle to be linked with the story and click on the Link & Close button.

The test cycle is added to all the test cases on the Jira issue page. Open the Executions tab under the test case to see the associated test cycles.

Now Sync Stories in the Test Cases tab of the test cycle.

When you add a Jira issue to a test cycle, all the test cases associated with that Jira issue will be linked to the test cycle automatically.

Open the test cycle detail page and open the Test Cases tab to view the test cases linked to the test cycle.

Open the test cycle detail page and open the Story tab to view the stories to which the test cycle is linked in Jira.
