Manage Test Cycles From a Jira Issue
Handling test cycles from the issue view in Jira couldn’t be easier. You have the option to either create a new test cycle or add an existing test cycle to the Jira issue. Take a look at the sections below to learn how to create a Test Cycle.
Create a new test cycle from Jira
Head to the desired Jira Issue, click over the triangle-shaped icon, and select Create test cycle.

Once you’ve saved the new test cycle, click the back button to return to the Jira issue. You’ll see a test cycle under the Traceability section.
