Adding Perforce ALM items from Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud (legacy app versions)

In Jira, you can add a new Perforce ALM issues, requirement documents, requirements, and test cases from Jira items and automatically attach them to the Jira item they were added from. This eliminates the need to switch to ALM and to make sure the item is attached to the related Jira item so other team members have the information they need.

For example, if you are working on a Jira item and discover a test is needed for it, you can add an ALM test case from the Jira item. When you save the test case, it is added to ALM and automatically attached to the Jira item.

The information on this page applies to working with ALM items in Jira Data Center and legacy versions of the app (versions 1 and 2) in Jira Cloud. If your team uses version 3 or later of the app, see Work with ALM items in Jira Cloud. If you are not sure about the app version your team uses, contact your Jira administrator.

1. In the Perforce ALM Items area in a Jira issue, click Add and select the item type to add to ALM.

The Perforce ALM Add item page opens in a new browser tab. You may be prompted to log in.

2. Enter or select the item information. See Adding issues, Adding requirement documents, Adding requirements, or Adding test cases.

3. Save the item.

Click Save to add the item to the project and return to the item list. The item is attached to the Jira issue you added it from. Information about the item is displayed in the Perforce ALM Items area in the Jira issue. You may need to refresh the Jira page to see the change. See Work with Perforce ALM items in Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud (legacy app versions).
Click Apply to save the item and continue working on it. Save the item when you finish.
