Jira Server/DC plugin?
With Jira Server/DC plugin for Qase, you can install the integration and get access to these possibilities:
link issues from your Jira with test cases in Qase
link test runs in Qase to issues in Jira
create new issues in Jira simultaneously with creating a defect in Qase during a test run, passing all defect details and information, and synchronizing the statuses of issues and defects between the systems.
