We are planning to use one testcase management tool for our project.
I am using testlink in my previous project.
But my management want JIRA as all our sprint planning and bug tracking is happing over there.
Can I export Testlink testcases and reports in JIRA without using any add-ion
If no, Then what are other option I can use.
I have find Zephyr add-ion which can do similer like this. is it any other option present?
I have also found that JIRA can accept rest-api but then I need to make changes in testlink project so testlink can send JSON to JIRA
What should I follow. any suggestion will help
I worked with one QA team that created a custom 'testcase' issue type in JIRA. They removed all the standard JIRA fields that weren't required and added in custom fields for things that were not covered by standard JIRA fields (such as 'test category', 'pass/fail' checkbox, etc.).
The 'testcase' issues were used as sub-tasks for user stories. Using this approach each requirement had one or more test cases associated with it.
When they needed to report they would do an issue search for issues of type 'testcase' within a particular time period. Then they would export all fields to Excel.
In my company we're using Testlink and JIRA and has been proposed to remove Testlink migrating all the data to JIRA but depending of the usage of JIRA(amount of data it is managing) as this can overload JIRA due to you will need several custom fields, maybe customized with JavaScript and that can be worth.
We analysed the possibility to use the Zephyr plugin which is appropiated for this usage.

I try to connect my Kiwi TCMS to JIRA server, but when i try to report a bug to jira it open always same project. How to define link betwen projects in Kiwi TCMS and JIRA server? Where can i configure that parameters?
I only add jira to bugtracker in kiwi tcms like described in docs. I add link to jira, and username\password for my account in jira. Dont see any other options in kiwi tcms interface.
By what I was able to gather when reading the documentation to set up my Jira integration was that all the "integration" does is provide an autofill link to recreate the ticket in Jira (one way, KiwiTCMS -> Jira).
I would suggest trying to change the api link to one that points at project rather than the organization.atlassian.net link. Otherwise, it doesn't appear to be possible at this time :(
By default, kiwi searches project in jira matched with product name of your test plan. If there is no matches , it opened the first project available for your user.
https://kiwitcms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/tcms/issuetracker/types.html#JIRA.get_project_from_jira
There are three options (kiwi version 11.7):
in the kiwi, rename product name to match with the name of project in jira (https://jira.readthedocs.io/api.html#jira.client.JIRA.projects);
create a jira user with only one project available to search and used it for kiwi;
customize get_project_from_jira function, so it returns the desired project (https://kiwitcms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing_docker.html#customization)
I want to automate the manual process of associating a jira project with xray so that projects can leverage the features of xray.
I have explored various jira and xray api's available at https://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/public/XRAY/REST+API but could not find any API which can help in doing so.
Automating this with selenium or htmlunit is one option but it will be time consuming if there are more projects.
Is there any workaround/trick to automate this or if there's any undocumented api which can help in associating jira projects to xray plugin. Any suggestions please?
I have found a way to do this programmatically. No need of using ScriptRunner's custom REST API capabilities as documented here
Configure the headers as below,
Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
X-Atlassian-Token:no-check
Access the below GET call with the required query parameters,
https://{YOUR_JIRA_HOME_URL}/XrayRequirementProjectsConfiguration.jspa?makeCompatible={PROJECT_KEY}
Specify the project key of the project for which you would like to enable the XRAY coverage.
We already have set of IssueTypes and are following Agile Scrum.
Now, we're planning to use JIRA Agile. It is mentioned in JIRA Documentation that EPIC is an issue of Type "Epic". But, since we're a considerably sized BU with few projects - we would like to use the "New Feature" Issue Type as Epic - so the Spec, Dev and Test can be added to the "Feature" Epic.
Question is: Is it possible to use Custom Issue Type as Epic in JIRA Agile? If so, How?
Short answer is no.
The Epic issue type (and a few others) are added to a base JIRA installation when you install the "JIRA Agile" extension/plugin. None of the features (Epic Links, Epics filtering on backlogs, Epic burndown charts, etc) will work with any other issue type.
I'd suggest you begin adapting your process to use the new issue type.
Now, there's nothing stopping you associating custom fields (if that's what you use for Spec, Dev, and Test information) with the Epic issue type so you get the same functionality you have with New Feature.
You can rename the Epic type created by Jira Agile (note that already created schemes remember the old name) to any name and it works.
I guess, there would be hack in DB and reassign issue type to Jira Agile somewhere in DB but who knows what tables are linked to see some description here
I am transferring a jira issue to TFS WIT in my company. My team used TFS2012, they use JIRA. So I want to migrate the JIRA issues into TFS2012 WIT.
I want to preserve all the basic fields, attachments and comment history & work logging.
Any suggestions regarding tools or processes for this?
I looked into dumping the issues into an Excel spreadsheet, but that doesn't include attachments or comments.
Integration Platform
Good luck, the migration isn't usually a lot of fun.
using comment-plugins we can export comment on excel....
here we can find the comment plugins
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/How+to+add+comments+to+Excel+export
(we could map this to History field in TFS once we export it to Excel)
nearly 3week i worked on this task
finaly i got it
For this task we simply add USETFS plugin in jira that carry everything i mean comment tfsid and attachment everything its come under USETFS plugin in jira.
We have a JIRA instance installed on our side and our client is using that. Now client have purchased license of JIRA on Demand and want us to migrate their project from our JIRA to their.
Is there a way to achieve that?
Thanks in advance

Check out Altasian Splitting+a JIRA instance page:
Occasionally an organisation may need to split its existing JIRA instance into two separate instances. For example, there might be a requirement to have some particular projects in one JIRA instance, and other projects in a second instance.
Basicly, It's done by backing up the project and restoring it on the new server.
You will find a nice tutorial here:
http://www.jusuchyne.com/codingforme/2012/12/jira-migrating-certain-projects-from-instance/
As described here, there is a Plugin in the Atlassian Marketplace, that lets you copy the configuration: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.awnaba.projectconfigurator.projectconfigurator
