Steps to Integrate Selenium with JIRA

Set up a Jira account and create an API token for authentication.
Create a Maven project in your IDE, and add the necessary Selenium and Jira dependencies to your project’s pom.xml file.
In your Java code, import the Jira Java library and use the API token to authenticate and establish a connection with your Jira account.
Create a new issue or update an existing issue in Jira using the Jira API methods provided by the Jira Java library.
Use Selenium to automate the test cases, and integrate Jira API calls into your test cases to create or update issues based on the test results.
You can also add attachments or comments to the issue using the Jira API.

Once you have successfully integrated Selenium with Java and Jira, you can automate the process of creating or updating issues in Jira based on the results of your Selenium tests.

Note: Replace “jira.example.com” with your JIRA instance URL and “PROJECT_KEY” with the key of your project. Also, replace “your_username” and “your_password” with your JIRA login credentials.
