Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a test plan in Jira using Zephyr Scale.

Quick summary

Creating a test plan in Jira using Zephyr Scale lets QA teams organize, track, and manage testing efforts directly within their Jira project. This step-by-step process takes just minutes and centralizes test management without leaving your Jira workflow.


Steps

  1. Go to the Jira project where you want to create the test plan.
  2. Click Zephyr Scale in the project navigation.
  3. Click Test Plans from the Zephyr Scale menu.
  4. Select Test Plan to start a new plan.
  5. Fill in the details such as the Name, Objective, Status, and Owner.
  6. Click Create to save the test plan.
  7. Your test plan has been successfully created in Jira.

📌 Why this matters

Creating a test plan in Jira with Zephyr Scale gives QA and engineering teams a structured way to organize test cycles, assign ownership, and track testing progress — all within the Jira environment they already use. Centralizing test management in Jira eliminates the need for separate tools, reducing context-switching and improving visibility across the entire software development lifecycle. For teams practicing agile testing, having test plans linked directly to Jira projects ensures traceability between requirements, test cases, and releases. This makes Zephyr Scale one of the most effective test management solutions for Jira-native teams.
