If you want to use the integration with JIRA you can easily set it up yourself in the integration module in Testersuite. Users who have the role Administrator within a Testersuite environment can access the integration module of that environment via Manage -> Integrations. Each Testersuite environment has its own settings regarding the JIRA integration. If you need help setting up the integration with JIRA please send an email to support@testersuite.nl.
Detail data
