If you're a developer or QA expert, you'll agree that Jira is a platform that doesn't need an introduction. Surprisingly, Jira is increasingly being utilised for a purpose for which it was never designed! We're discussing test management. Yes, regardless of the fact that Jira was not created for test management, it is used by a large number of QA experts for just that objective, despite its shortcomings.

A test management app for Jira is required to address this difficulty faced by QA experts and to assist them in experiencing increased test management capabilities in Jira. When we say a test management app for Jira, all we mean is a full-featured test management tool for Jira to provide increased test management capabilities. QARA Enterprise is an example of a Jira test management product, and the QARAJ add-on for Jira is the magical little test management app for Jira that allows this connection to happen.
