# Jira Test Case Management (TCM) solution

Jira does not have a built-in solution for Test Case Management (ie. ) As Jira does not have a built-in Test Case Management (TCM) solution (i.e. how to store Test Cases and results), teams using Jira need to choose from different TCM solutions in Jira. The different solutions require different synchronization solutions and SpecSync will support more and more commonly used solutions. If your solution is not supported yet, please contact [support](https://docs.specsolutions.eu/specsync/jira/contact/specsync-support).

| Jira TCM Solution      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |

| Jira TCM Customization | This solution works with any Jira projects. You need to add a custom issue type to store the Test Cases (e.g. 'Test Case') and a custom field in the issue type to store the Test Case steps as formatted text (e.g. *Test Case Steps*). Optionally you can also define a custom field for storing the scenario in Gherkin format as well. Publishing test results with Jira TCM Customization is not supported yet. |
| Zephyr Scale           | Supports for Jira projects using the Zephyr Scale extension app (formerly Test Management for Jira, TM4J). This requires minimal configuration in SpecSync as Zephyr Scale defines the Test Case type and the Test Cycle type that stores test execution results.                                                                                                                                                    |
