Link Jira Story/Issue to Existing Test Cases

Users can link existing test cases directly with the stories in Jira. Test Cases from cross-projects can also be linked to the stories.

Note: While linking existing test cases from the Jira Story page, it is recommended to keep the Page Limit (Configuration > General Settings) maximum up to 50.

Steps

1. Open a Jira issue detail page. If QMetry for Jira Add-on is configured with Jira, you should see the Test Case/Acceptance Criteria panel.

2. To link existing test cases to the story in Jira, click on the ellipsis (...) icon on the Test Case/Acceptance Criteria section and select (A) Link Existing Test Cases.

If there is not a single test case linked to the story, you can also view the (B) Link Existing Test Cases link below the No Test Cases text.

The Link Existing Test Cases screen opens. Users can sort test cases on the Version column which helps them pick the test cases on the basis of their versions. For example, testers have to link Version 2 of test cases to the story.

Filter Test Cases:

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

B. If the test case list is long, apply filters to the list. You can filter records through search. You can search a particular test case 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.

Hide Already Linked Test Case: Check the Hide Already Linked Test Case to avoid the display of those test cases on the screen which are already linked to the Jira issue. It prevents the linking of the same test cases with the same Jira issue again.

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

The test case sequence will be preserved as per the order of selection while linking to the story.

You can see the test cases are linked to the Jira issue.

Users can link multiple versions of a test case to the Story and trace the test case linkages with the story.

Re-order Test Cases on Jira Story Details Page

You can arrange test cases on a story detail page as per your desired order. It saves users time as they can quickly arrange the test cases instead of removing test cases and adding them back to set the sequence. You can change the test case order either by Drag & Drop operation or by changing the test case sequence number.

A. Drag & Drop Test Cases: Just drag the test case and drop it to change its sequence on the list.

B. Change Sequence Number of Test Case: In case the test case list is long and drag and drop is not feasible for you, then you can just change the sequence of the test case to rearrange it on the list. Hover over the number sequence. You will see the edit icon. Click on the Edit icon and change the sequence of the test case to place it in the desired position.
