Create Test Cycles from Jira Story

You can also create a new test cycle from a Jira story detail page, apart from linking a Jira story to an existing test cycle. It will associate the story with its test cases with the newly created test cycle. In the test cycle, you can view the associated story in the Story tab and associated test cases in the Test Cases tab.

The feature allows users to create test cycles quickly and without bothering to link the test cases separately, as the test cases are automatically linked to the test cycle.

Perform the following steps to create test cycles from a Jira story:

  1. Navigate to the Jira story page.

  2. Go to the Test Case/Acceptance Criteria section.

  3. Click the ellipses (…) and select the Link Story to New Cycle option.

  4. The Create New Test Cycle screen appears. Enter test cycle details and click Create.

A new test cycle is created on the selected folder path in the Test Cycle module.

The Story tab on the test cycle detail page shows the Jira story from which the test cycle was created.
