For Jira Cloud

Test management that lives on the Jira issue.

Northline is the test ledger for Jira Cloud: folders, versioned steps, cycles across environments, and coverage on the issue itself. A REST API and an MCP server let CI and AI agents write the same store.

A project test ledger: folders, keys, and the latest result.

Product

The ledger, the run, and the issue.

Everything a test cycle needs, without a second system of record.

Test cases and folders

Nest folders and move a parent without losing the path. Case keys such as PA-T1 sort in numeric order.

Versioned steps and shared steps

Each step has an action, test data, and an expected result. Once a version has been executed, the next edit is a new version. Shared steps live in a library and expand inside the case.

Cycles and runs with environments

Run a cycle across configurations such as browser and region. Mark each step Pass, Fail, Blocked, or Skip. Paste a screenshot onto a step and file a Jira bug from a failure.

Jira issue coverage panel

Test Coverage & Executions lists the linked cases and the latest status. Link or unlink a case on the issue. Coverage is written to tcmCoverage for JQL.

REST API and MCP server for AI agents

Jira admins create API keys for CI and MCP clients. The raw key is shown once and stored only as a SHA-256 hash. Point an agent at /mcp.

Data isolation and security

Each Jira site and Forge environment has its own ledger. A development install and a production install on the same site do not share test data.

How it works

Three steps from install to coverage.

  1. 1

    Install

    A Jira admin installs Northline from the Atlassian Marketplace. The project page, issue panel, and API keys page appear on the site.

  2. 2

    Write the ledger

    Open Test Management on a project. Add folders and cases with steps. Turn on review if edits should wait for approval.

  3. 3

    Run and cover

    Execute a cycle, mark the steps, and read the result on the Jira issue. CI and agents can write the same runs through the API.

Security and privacy

Your site's ledger stays your site's ledger.

Northline processes test content to provide the product. It does not sell data, and it does not use product analytics.

Read the privacy policy
  • TLS in transit and encryption at rest on Cloudflare
  • Forge invocation tokens verified on every request from Jira
  • API keys stored only as a SHA-256 hash
  • Development and production installs do not share a ledger
  • Uninstall deletes that environment's rows, files, and cache

Install Northline on your Jira site.

Cases, runs, and coverage, in the project your team already uses.
