Checking if a TestRail Test plan is attached to the Jira Story when moving to Done

[Olivier Magand]

Hello,

My company is running Jira DataCenter and using the TestRail plugin to visualise if there is a TestTail Test Plan attached to the Jira issues.

Today we’re manually checking that a Jira Story has an attached TestRail Test Plan after the story is moved to Done.

We need to enforce this quality gate in a way that, when a Dev team moves a story to Done then an error is displayed if there is no TestRail links to the Jira story.

As the TestRail plugin doesn't add a field in Jira objects, it's a special request to TestRail which is not documented and doesn't seem so easy and direct with TestRail API.

Does anyone already implemented a solution to address this need?

For example offering an API to Jira, answering the question "is this story referenced somewhere in TestRail ?”?

And ideally a solution that can be integrated into the Jira workflow?

Thank you!
