Recommendations for a Test Repository with Restricted Access that works with JIRA projects.

[Donna Benton]

I am needing to find a testing plugin for JIRA that will allow restricted access and result visibility. Can anyone recommend such a plugin?

For JIRA testing plugins that allow restricted access and result visibility, there are a few notable options you can consider:

1. TestRay: This plugin offers powerful Jira test case management and test requirements solutions suitable for Agile & DevOps team environments. It features end-to-end traceability in the software lifecycle, enabling you to manage tests, requirements, and reporting all within Jira. TestRay allows organizing and tracking test cases in a tree format with test suites and supports parallel execution of a test plan using test cycles. Additionally, it integrates with Bamboo & Jenkins for automated testing. For more details, visit TestRay on Atlassian Marketplace.

2. PractiTest: This is an end-to-end test management solution with real-time, two-way integration for JIRA Cloud, Server, and Data Center. It stands out as a stand-alone test management system that works alongside Jira without overusing its resources. PractiTest offers clear real-time visibility of all QA efforts and integrates seamlessly with external tools, acting as a centralized hub for manual and automated testing. For more information, check out PractiTest on Atlassian Marketplace.

3. Xray Test Management: Xray allows you to plan, design, execute tests, and generate test reports using specific Jira issue types for each testing phase. It offers features like test case management, requirement coverage reports, and supports both manual and automated testing. Xray is particularly noted for its ability to manage all tests as Jira issues and provides comprehensive test coverage of requirements with interactive charts.
