# Step 3: Configuring Jira project

> Connect a Jira project to Test Manager by selecting issue types to synchronize and entering the Test Manager server URL and API key.

The Test Manager page in the Jira project settings holds the link between the two tools.

## Steps

1. Open Jira and navigate to the project you want to integrate with Test Manager.
2. Switch to the project settings.
3. Scroll down and select **UiPath® Test Manager** to open the Test Manager configuration page.

   ![UiPath Test Manager configuration in Jira project settings](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/test-manager/test-manager-docs-image-125942-b0899a5e-31434a1a.webp)
4. Select all Jira issue types that you want to be synchronized as requirements to Test Manager.

   :::note
   The native Jira integration syncs only Requirements and Defects. If your Jira instance uses a test-management add-on (such as Xray or Zephyr) with a custom issue type like **Test** or **Test Xray**, selecting that issue type creates it as a Requirement in Test Manager, not a Test Case. For proper custom issue-type mapping, use [Test Manager Connect](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/uipath-test-manager-connect) instead.
   :::

5. Enter the **Server URL** from Test Manager (for example, `https://govcloud.uipath.us/{organizationName}/{tenantName}/testmanager_`).
6. Paste the **API Key** you copied in the previous procedure.
7. Select **Save**.

## Result

The Jira project is connected to Test Manager. Requirements are synchronized from Jira to Test Manager, and defects created in Test Manager are synchronized back to Jira.
