How many ways we can connect to JIRA ?

[DPKJ]

@BindhuJira is a web based application, so by connecting if you mean integration, here are options you have,

• Rest API
• Java API using plugin infrastructure

It will easier for me, if you share your requirements, that way I will be able to give you precise connecting option.

Hi DPk,

   My exact requirement is to make a connection with Jira and perform creating test execution and adding testcases to this test execution. 

So I need a way to do this like how to integrate or making connection and how to create test execution and adding test cases to it. I am searching for an examples not able to find anywhere. Please provide me some examples of it.

@BindhuThe best way for you connect with Jira is using REST API,

I am pointing you the guides that you can use to do this,

• https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/rest-apis/
• https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/REST/8.4.3/

However, Jira doesn't provide with Test Case management by default, you might be using some plugin for this, if this is true, checkout your plugin documentation for API's exposed by them.
