Requirements and Test Management for Jira

End-to-end requirements & test management, without the complexity of enterprise QA tools.

RTM brings requirements, test cases, plans, executions, and defects together in a clean, Jira-native structure. Built for engineering, regulated, and cross-functional teams who need structure and traceability.

Reviews from the Atlassian Marketplace

Got this app to examine new tool for managing tests in Jira. Without much experience in testing infrastructure and Jira I was able to build all flow from system requirements to testing report and converge very easily. This app makes things easy and understandable in a very ordered method.

RTM provides a clean, efficient solution for managing requirements and test artifacts. The plugin offers strong end‑to‑end traceability between requirements, test cases, test runs, and defects, making impact analysis fast and reliable. Its traceability matrix and coverage reports are particularly useful for regression planning and audit‑ready documentation.

Cosmin Negrea
Why teams choose RTM

Engineering, medical, industrial, hardware, and public-sector teams all had the same challenge:

Enterprise legacy ALM and QA tools deliver power, but also complexity, long setup cycles, and heavy configuration.
Generic Jira setups deliver flexibility but lack structure, traceability, and controlled documentation.

RTM bridges the gap with a Jira-native workspace that’s structured enough for regulated projects and simple enough to adopt immediately.

Requirements and Test Management for Jira

Key capabilities & use cases


  • A structured, Jira-native home for requirements

    Many RTM customers work with complex, multi-layer requirements:
    > system → subsystem → component
    > functional → non-functional → UI → safety
    > client-specific → platform-specific → regulatory

    RTM gives you:

    • A clear, navigable requirement tree
    • Transparent direct & indirect links (visible in a dedicated Relations tab)
    • The ability to link issues and create connections between them
    • Attachments, discussions, and reviews
    • Confluence-readable short-form requirement lists
    • Complete version history to track what changed, when, and by whom

    This means:
    Your requirements stop living in scattered documents and become a controlled, traceable, auditable system — essential for engineering and regulated environments.

  • Reusable test cases that scale with every release

    RTM’s customers run anywhere from 75 to 800+ manual tests per release.
    They need consistency, not duplication.

    RTM lets you:

    • Build a clean, reusable test library
    • Organize tests by module, product, or release
    • Reuse test cases across different releases, Fix Versions, or environments
    • Standardize steps, expectations, and preconditions
    • Maintain multi-team consistency without extra admin

    This means:
    Regression cycles stay predictable. Teams write less. Quality becomes repeatable.

  • Manual test execution that captures real evidence

    Many Jira users test manually — due to hardware constraints, integration complexity, or limited automation coverage.
    RTM supports this reality.

    • Step-by-step execution
    • Notes, screenshots, attachments as evidence
    • Automatic linking to requirements and defects
    • Clear ownership and tester assignment
    • Side-by-side QA + UAT workflows
    • CI imports for JUnit/NUnit and automated pipelines

    This means:
    Your execution logs are structured, consistent, and ready for engineering or audit review.

  • Full end-to-end traceability for release confidence and compliance

    RTM creates a complete, transparent chain:

    Requirement → Test Case → Execution → Defect → Result 

    Use it to:

    • Validate coverage
    • Spot gaps before they cause release risk
    • Support V-model workflows
    • Produce evidence for customers, auditors, and regulators
    • Perform fast impact analysis when requirements change
    • Verify compliance at a glance using the visual Traceability Matrix and Coverage Reports

    This means:
    You can answer compliance-critical questions instantly:

    • “Where is this requirement tested?”
    • “What failed?”
    • “Is this release fully covered?”
  • Baselines & Delta Reports: Preserve project state for audits and change control

    Requirements and tests change constantly, but at key moments such as release approval, customer sign-off, regulatory review, or project handover, teams need a tamper-proof (snapshot) of what the project looked like at that point in time.

    RTM lets you create baselines that capture a complete snapshot of your requirements and tests, including:

    • A full requirement and test structure
    • Requirement and test content
    • Direct and indirect traceability links
    • Relationships between requirements, test cases, executions, and defects
    • Automated Delta reports to instantly compare and pinpoint changes between baselines
    • Historical project state at a specific point in time
    • PDF export for external review, audit evidence, or documentation packages

    This means:
    Your team can preserve exactly what was agreed, tested, and reviewed at a given milestone across single or multiple projects (without relying on scattered documents, manual screenshots, or fragile exports).

    Baselines help you answer:

    “What did our requirement set look like at release freeze?”
    “Which tests were linked at the time of approval?”
    “What changed between project states?”
    “Can we provide auditors or customers with a documented snapshot?”

  • Reporting and dashboards that keep everyone aligned

    Engineering, QA, product, regulatory, and customer stakeholders need shared visibility.

    RTM provides:

    • Traceability report
    • Coverage report
    • Test Execution summary
    • Readiness dashboards
    • The ability to export and save reports externally

    This means:
    No more status meetings where every team shows a different picture. Everyone sees the same truth.

Industries and norms
Industries RTM for Jira supports

RTM for Jira is used by teams in regulated and engineering-driven industries that need a fully compliant, high-rigor lifecycle management platform (ALM): controlled requirements, test evidence, baselines, traceability, and audit-ready documentation.

Automotive and functional safety

For OEMs and suppliers working under ASPICE, ISO 26262, IATF 16949, and ISO 9001.

Medical devices and healthcare software

For teams managing verification evidence and documentation control under ISO 13485, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and FDA quality expectations.

Aerospace and defense

For programs requiring strict traceability, change control, and verification evidence aligned with DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754A, or AS9100-driven processes.

Semiconductor and embedded systems

For hardware-software teams managing variants, configurations, and safety-related development under ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ASPICE, or ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148.

Industrial manufacturing and automation

For complex systems where requirements and verification must stay controlled across machines, plants, and customer-specific setups, often under IEC 61508, IEC 62443, ISO 9001, or internal quality systems.

Enterprise software and public sector systems

For teams that need structured requirements, acceptance evidence, reporting, and baseline exports to support governance, procurement, and internal SDLC controls.
