Jira Work Item Panel

The Jira Work Item Panel is how BesTest meets your team where they already are. Open any work item - a story, a bug, a task - and the BesTest panel sits right in the main column, between Child issues and Activity. It lists every requirement, test case, test cycle and test execution linked to that issue, each with the same status lozenges and recent-run history you see across the rest of the app. There is no separate tab to hunt for and no second tool to log into; the testing context lives on the issue itself.

Turning it on takes one click and is easy to miss if you do not know where to look - which is exactly why teams ask about it. On a Jira work item, open the Apps ("...") menu in the toolbar under the summary; BesTest appears as a single option. Select it once and the panel is pinned into the issue for everyone on your team. Nothing is added on top of the issue - the panel simply appears in the body, below the subtasks, where it belongs.

The panel is not read-only. A summary bar across the top counts the linked requirements, test cases, cycles and executions and gives you a Link button to attach existing objects. Each section has an inline "Create" row, so you can spin up a new requirement or test case straight from the work item without breaking your flow. Because every test object is a first-class BesTest entity rather than a Jira issue, none of this bloats your backlog - the work item gains full traceability while your Jira instance stays clean and fast.
