Atlassian Jira Cloud

To install the Atlassian Jira Cloud plugin, see Upload plugin section.

Integration with the Atlassian JIRA Cloud can be required for projects that collect defects in a separate tracking tool. The integration provides an exchange of information between our centralized test automation tool and the Atlassian JIRA Cloud, such as posting issues and linking issues, getting updates on their statuses.
