QTM4J Confluence Integration

QTM4J Confluence Integration app provides the QMetry Assets and QMetry Chart macros for Confluence. The QMetry Assets macro lets teams display test assets from QMetry Test Management for Jira, including test cases, test cycles, and test plans, directly on Confluence pages. You can control which issues appear and customize the display.

By surfacing test information in Confluence, teams gain visibility into ongoing work, track related issues more efficiently, and reduce the need for manual status updates across teams.

The app eliminates the need to switch between Confluence and Jira. For example, when a QA Manager prepares a test report, they can view test assets from QMetry Test Management for Jira directly within the Confluence page. By inserting the QMetry Assets and QMetry Chart macros, they can present up-to-date testing information and provide management with clear visibility into the current state of testing activities.

Note

Pre-requisites:

Admin rights for both Jira and Confluence applications
“View” and “Create” permissions for Test Case, Test Cycle, and Test Plan on the QMetry Test Management for Jira instance
