Configuring Jira as a change management system

You must configure Jira as a change management system in your project in HCL OneTest™ Server before you can create issues in the Jira project for the tests that ran.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

  • Generated a public key and a consumer key for the project in HCL OneTest™ Server and saved the keys in a text file. See Adding a Jira Software server URL.

  • Shared the public key and consumer key with the administrator of the Jira server to set up an application link in Jira, if you are not an administrator of the Jira server.

  • Created an application link in Jira, if you possess the privileges as an administrator of the Jira server. See Setting up an application link in the Jira server.
