Integrating Robonito with Jira

Learn how to set up Jira integration and create issues directly from Robonito.

Understanding Jira Integration

Integrating Robonito with Jira allows you to easily create issues (like bugs or tasks) in your Jira projects.

Setting Up Jira Integration

To connect Robonito with your Jira instance, you'll need to grant Robonito specific permissions to your Jira account.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to Integrations: In your Robonito dashboard, click on "Integrations" in the sidebar.

  2. Select Jira: Find the Jira integration option and click on the Connect button to begin the setup.

  3. Authorize Connection: A new browser window will open, taking you to your Jira instance. Here, Robonito will ask for certain permissions for your Jira account. Follow the on-screen prompts in the browser window to grant the necessary permissions.

  4. Confirm Integration: After granting permission, you can close the browser window. Back in Robonito, the Jira integration status will automatically update to Connected for your current workspace.

Configuring Default Settings

After successful authentication, you can configure default values for new Jira issues created from Robonito. These defaults help speed up issue creation by pre-filling common fields.

You will find options to set defaults for:

  • Site: If you have multiple Jira sites, select the default site where issues should be created.

  • Project: Choose the default Jira project where issues will be logged.

  • Assignee: Set a default assignee for issues.

  • Issue Type: Select the default issue type (e.g., Bug, Task, Story).

These default settings can be overridden when you create an individual issue.

Creating a Jira Issue from Robonito

Once the Jira integration is set up and configured, you can easily create new issues.

Steps:

  1. Select the Test Case: Select the test case for which you want to create an issue.

Note: An issue is always linked to a test case.

  1. Click on Log a Bug: If a test execution fails, an option to Log a Bug will appear.

  1. Issue Details Form: A form will appear, pre-filled with any default settings you configured (site, project, assignee, issue type).

Note: You can override the defaults for an individual issue.

  1. Add Details:

    • Summary: Enter a concise summary for the issue.

    • Description: This field will be pre-filled with failure logs and a screenshot URL from the failed test execution. You can also add more information.

    • Override Defaults (Optional): Adjust the project, assignee, or issue type if they differ from your default settings for this specific issue.

  2. Submit Issue: Click "Create" or "Submit" to log the issue directly into your Jira project.
