Bamboo is a continuous integration server that automates your incremental builds, keeping you up to date with the status of your builds and letting you know when things go wrong. Together with JIRA, Atlassian's powerful issue tracker, you can easily monitor your development activities from specification to implementation, giving you a complete bird's eye view of your software projects.

The free Bamboo plugin for JIRA links these two products helping them to work together seamlessly. Together Bamboo and JIRA give you a way to:

• Keep track of which builds are related to which issues
• See immediately if a build affecting your issue has failed
• Find out exactly the build in which an issue was fixed
• Monitor, in real-time, how your builds are going for your project or version.
  

Keep build information at your fingertips in JIRA. The Builds tab in JIRA will contain the list of builds that have been linked to your issues. Issues are automatically linked to your builds, if the issue has been included in the commit messages, labels, or comments for the build. You can also manually link your issues with your builds.

Linking between Bamboo and JIRA

You may have marked a JIRA issue to be fixed for a particular version, but how do you know which build in that version actually contained the fix? Integrating Bamboo with JIRA helps you keep on top of this information. You can specify exactly which build fixed which issue in Bamboo, and then view this in the JIRA issue. You won't even have to leave JIRA to download the build artifacts for the fix, as they are made available via handy links in the issue.

Adding a linked JIRA issue to a build

The Bamboo plugin for JIRA helps you keep a close eye on the health of your projects and versions in JIRA. View the status of builds that are related to a project or a project version in JIRA, at a glance.

With the Build Status Summary portlet, you can also keep watch over the plans you want in your JIRA dasbhoard.

Build information in JIR

Within the JIRA dashboard, you can insert Bamboo's build summary information — graphs showing you trends in your projects' builds.

• How long are your builds taking?
• How many tests failed or succeeded in each build?
• How your builds are progressing over time?
