Overview

QA teams often need to record test steps and results. Jira issues can capture test cases at a high level, and Confluence or test management apps are often used for detailed documentation.

For smaller teams that don’t require a full testing suite, Excel-like Tables for Jira provides a lightweight option to log test cases directly in Jira issues.


Scenario: Tracking test cases inside Jira

  • Issues can represent test cases, but test step tracking is limited.

  • Add a table with Test Step, Expected Result, Actual Result, and Status.
  • Keep test execution structured inside the Jira issue.

Value

Provides an easy, lightweight way to track test cases directly in Jira while still allowing Confluence or dedicated apps to handle larger test management needs.
