qTest Scenario Quick Start Guide

qTest Scenario is a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) application for Jira that provides end-to-end support for Test Driven Development (TDD) as well as Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD). It is the first and only Jira plug-in to manage the end-to-end workflow from test creation to Test Execution and increases tester productivity by enabling teams to optimize and scale a Test-First approach across your entire organization.

Your team can see the progress of testing within each Sprint or Release and Scenario's built-in Gherkin editor allows you to build Features and Scenarios directly in the plug-in. These Features and Scenarios are stored and managed in your Git source repository.

The qTest Scenario plug-in integrates with your Git Repository in two forms:

  • Free version: Public Git Repository

  • Paid version: Private Git Repository

Only one Git provider can be used per Jira Project, but multiple repos may be used per Git provider across multiple projects. For example, if you have a Jira Project (P1) and you have repos in both GitLab Cloud and Bitbucket, you will only be able to use one of them for P1. But, if you have two Jira Projects (P1 and P2), and they both use the same provider, they can fetch data from multiple repos from within that same provider.

Currently, Scenario integrates with cloud and server/enterprise versions of the following Git Repositories:

Git Repository Supported Versions
Bitbucket Cloud any version
Bitbucket Server 5.8.0 - 5.11.1 (latest)
GitHub Cloud any version
GitHub Enterprise any instance equipped with API v3
GitLab Cloud any version
GitLab Enterprise Edition/Community Edition latest version
When integrating Scenario with Gitlab, you must use a Personal Access Token and not a password. For information on how to access your Personal Access Token, please refer to this article.

It is available for download from the Atlassian Marketplace.

The paid version of qTest Scenario provides increased functionality and integrates with qTest Pulse. For further information regarding Pulse, refer to qTest Pulse Quick Start Guide.

The following steps are required to use Scenario:

  1. Install the add-on in your Jira application.

  2. Configure Scenario with your Git Repository and Jira.

Now you are ready to use Scenario within your organization.
