Treat push as a delivery step

Generation is drafting. Push is publishing. Connect credentials, choose the project and issue type, then review the selection before anything is created remotely.

Confirm the destination first

Validate:

  • Jira site URL and project key
  • Issue type mapping for tests
  • Whether Xray steps, Test Set, or Test Execution linking is required

Credential hygiene

Store API tokens and Xray client secrets in the product integrations panel. Do not paste long-lived secrets into tickets or chat.

# Prefer a scoped Jira API token for the integration user
# Rotate tokens if someone leaves the team

Review before create

Deselect weak cases. Rename vague titles. Confirm expected results are testable. A five-minute edit usually costs less than cleaning up duplicate issues later.

After a successful push

Open the created issues in Jira, spot-check a couple of step lists, and attach the work to your usual Test Set or Execution flow when Xray is enabled.
