# Panaya Test Management Integration for JIRA plugin example

Panaya offers a built-in Jira plugin that automatically syncs **Jira Issues** to Panaya **Requirements** and allows tracking of the Panaya **testing progress**from the Jira.

> **Use case** Assign tests to a Panaya Requirement and automatically see them in a related Jira issue

1. Download, install, and configure the plugin by [following these instructions](/v1/docs/panaya-jira-integration-setup).
2. Create an issue in Jira using the **Issue Type** and **Status** you defined in the setup in Step 1. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/jira_create(1).png) ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/jira_created.png)

A parallel Requirement is automatically created in the designated Panaya project with a link back to the Jira issue in the **Description** under the **General tab**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/requirement_created(1).png)

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> 1. Once a Requirement is created in Panaya, no updates are sent back to it from Jira. If a Jira issue is closed, you must manually close the Requirement in Panaya.
> 2. Defects closed in Panaya will still be displayed in the Jira issue.
