You can try to do this without additional apps, but it won't work too brilliantly.

Most people attempting this instinctively model test cases and plans as issues in projects.   The problem with this is that issues are workflow models, not re-usable plans.  They're expected to go through their workflow once and then get shut down.

So, the next step is then to build projects that hold (and don't close) test plans and cases.  You then need a mechanism that puts test executions somewhere and links back to the test plan they are going to represent the execution of.  Issues are quite heavy objects to do this with, and you rapidly end up with projects swamped with test runs.

Essentially, this is a problem that other people have wrestled with before, and if you were to try it, you'll be re-inventing a wheel yet again.  I would very strongly recommend that you don't want to do all that work for yourself, it will be faster, cheaper and better to get one of the Test Management tools from from the marketplace.

(And you'll need an app to provide check lists)
