Integrating JIRA with QuickBuild

Since QuickBuild 3, a two-way solution is provided to integrate with Atlassian JIRA. The integration features:

• Hyperlink the JIRA keys in commit messages to corresponding JIRA pages
• Generate an issues report from commit messages
• Progress/update the issues from commit messages
• Release a version of a project in JIRA and update the fixed versions field of issues with status fixed or closed
• Create an issue to JIRA based on a customized step condition
• View SCM changes for each issue
• View related builds for each issue
• View related builds for each project

This page will describe how to integrate QuickBuild in JIRA.
