Confluence

Confluence Cloud is a documentation and wiki platform developed by Atlassian. Teams use it to create, organize, and collaborate on project documentation, requirements, and knowledge bases.

Qase integrates with Confluence Cloud to link Confluence pages to Qase test cases and defects.

This is a read-only integration — Qase reads your Confluence spaces and pages but does not create or modify any content in Confluence.

From inside Confluence, a content byline on each page shows any linked Qase test cases and defects, with direct links back to Qase.

Installation

For successful installation, please ensure the process is carried out by a user with administrative access to both Confluence and Qase.

  1. Install the Qase Forge App on Confluence.

In your Qase workspace, navigate to 'Apps' and find the Confluence Cloud app.

Click “Install now”.

You will be redirected to the Atlassian Marketplace. Click “Get it now”. If you're not already logged in, you'll need to sign in to proceed.

2. Connect the Confluence app with your Qase workspace.

After the app is installed on your Confluence site, navigate to the Qase Configuration page in Confluence. You can find it under Apps > Qase Configuration in your Confluence administration settings.

Alternatively, after installation, a setup banner will appear on Confluence pages prompting you to connect with Qase. Click “Open settings” to go to the configuration page.

On the configuration page, enter your Qase instance URL (defaults to https://app.qase.io) and click “Connect with Qase”.

You will be redirected to Qase. The page will display your Confluence site URL and ask you to authorize the connection. Click “Authorize” to complete the linking and finalize the installation.

Verify that the app has been successfully installed by checking the Apps section in Qase.

Once connected, the Confluence configuration page will show a success message: “Qase workspace connected! You can now link pages from Confluence to your test cases and defects.”

Viewing linked Qase entities from Confluence

Once the integration is set up, every Confluence page displays a Qase content byline panel. This panel shows all Qase test cases and defects that have been linked to that page.

Each linked entity displays:

  • Test cases — shown as PROJECT_CODE-ID (e.g., PROJ-42) with the test case title and a direct link to the case in Qase.

  • Defects — shown as D-ID (e.g., D-15) with the defect title and a direct link to the defect in Qase.

If no entities are linked, the panel displays “No linked test cases or defects.”

The byline title dynamically updates to show the count of linked entities (e.g., “3 Qase links”).

Linking from Qase

Link a single test case.

The option to link or unlink Confluence pages can be found under the Properties tab of the test case preview.

Click the Confluence integration entry to open the “Link Confluence page” modal. In this modal:

  1. Select a Space from the dropdown.

  2. Type a search query in the text field to filter pages by title.

  3. Click the search button.

Click the Link button next to a page to link it to the test case.

Unlink a single test case.

To unlink a page, click the Unlink button next to the linked page in the same modal, or use the unlink option in the properties tab.

You can link Confluence pages to defects from the defect detail page.

In the defect dashboard, use the integration linking widget to open the “Link Confluence page” modal. The search and linking flow is the same as for test cases.
