Link a JIRA ticket to automated tests scripts

[Troy Payne]

I'm looking for the best way to solve the following problem:

As a developer writing a ticket, I want to be able to connect my JIRA ticket with an automated test that is ran through my CI process. This can be solved in a very generic way where when creating a ticket, I have the ability to link user defined key values. Like "Remove a user" would be the key that I can browse/search and select to link from within the ticket, but its value can be retrieved that points to something like "remove_a_user.js" so that another script that is triggered by ci can query JIRA and get all tickets in a particular swim lane, and get the values of those attached key-value pairs  to execute each test returned.
