Import Jira issues as requirements and map them to test cases

Both admins and non-admin users can import requirements to Zephyr and map them to test cases. To import requirements, follow the steps described in Importing Requirements. Below is a sample list of imported requirements:

Once done, map the imported requirements to the test cases the links to which you want to have in your Jira issues. To learn how to do that, see Mapping Requirements to a Test Case. Below is a sample list of test cases with mapped requirements:

Info
You can import a requirement to multiple Zephyr instances and map test cases to it in those instances, or import several requirements and map them to test cases. In either case, the Zephyr Enterprise section will contain links to all the mapped test cases.

View test cases in Jira

After configuring the integration, open a Jira issue whose requirements you mapped to Zephyr test cases and view the links in the Zephyr Enterprise section. Clicking the links will open the test cases in Zephyr:

The links are grouped by test cases. Each link includes the name of the project, as well as the names of the release, cycle and phase it belongs to. The section shows the status of the last execution of each release, at that, the most recent execution is at the top of the list. Clicking the status will open the execution in Zephyr.

If the Zephyr Enterprise section is not visible, you can open it by clicking the ellipsis button at the top and selecting Zephyr Enterprise from the dropdown:
