Jira is a popular solution for tracking and managing software development projects. Meanwhile, Parasoft testing tools and DTP provide comprehensive automated testing tools that find quality problems and run tests in the software project. You can enhance your project workflow by integrating Jira with Parasoft DTP, which strengthens traceability between two pivotal system elements:

• Jira, which is responsible for the definition of requirements, defects, and tests.
• Parasoft testing tools, which execute automated tests and find defects and violations in your software, plus Parasoft DTP, which is a reporting and analytics dashboard.

Integrating your Parasoft tools with Jira provides the following functionality:

Creating defects in Jira from Parasoft DTP Violations Explorer and Test Explorer views

When Parasoft testing tools detect a static analysis violation or when an automated test failure is reported in DTP, you can effortlessly create a defect report in the integrated Jira directly from the Parasoft DTP interface. See Manually Creating Bugs and Tasks in Jira.

Sending Parasoft tests results to Jira requirements and test definitions

Your software requirements are defined in Jira, while Parasoft tools and DTP are used to test the implementation of these requirements. You can track traceability between these requirements in Jira and test results in Parasoft DTP using traceability reports in Jira by sending test results from Parasoft DTP to Jira. See Sending Test Data to Jira and Viewing Results.

Monitoring Jira Requirements Traceability to Test Results in Parasoft DTP Reports

This use case is similar the previous functionality, where the aim is to monitor traceability from Jira requirements to Parasoft test results. However, the difference lies in the source of the reports. While the previous functionality facilitated reports in Jira, this one utilizes reports in Parasoft DTP. See Parasoft to Jira Traceability Reports.

Configuration

Before you can take advantage of these features, some configuration is required. See Configuring Integration with Jira.

In addition, if you intend to use the Monitoring Jira Requirements Traceability to Test Results in Parasoft DTP Reports functionality mentioned above, there are some additional configurations required. See Configuring Parasoft to Jira Traceability.
