Benefits of TFS and JIRA Integration

TFS and Jira
Demand for an efficient integration platform which can facilitate data flow between JIRA (commonly known as Atlassian JIRA) and Microsoft TFS (Team Foundation Server) is on the rise. By integrating JIRA and TFS, you can impart high traceability in the ALM process. Organizations that use JIRA and TFS together can benefit significantly from this integration. To give you an idea, just imagine how useful it will be if the Features or Tasks added in JIRA get replicated to the mapped TFS work items automatically!

Kovair, through its tool-specific adapters and the Omnibus integration platform, has facilitated several challenging situations. Let’s delve more into this.

Kovair Omnibus Platform and Adapters for JIRA and TFS

Kovair Omnibus adapter for JIRA synchronizes Issues logged in JIRA to mapped TFS fields. Any Issue Type in JIRA like Bug, Improvement, New Feature, Task or any custom issue type defined by your organization can be synchronized as well.

Similarly, Kovair Omnibus Adapter for TFS allows any Project artifacts like Requirements, Tasks, Bugs, Source Code, Build and Test Results which are tracked and managed within TFS, to synchronize with JIRA artifacts along with relationships.
