Resolution: This error might occur if the Jira server is an on-premise setup and the Test manager is Cloud. In this case, whenever Test Manager tries to connect to the Jira server it will not be able to establish a connection unless the Jira server is publicly accessible.

If the Jira server is not exposed to the Internet, it will not be reachable from Test Manager Cloud.

A general requirement for the integration to work would be to have both :

  • Test Manager and Jira as an on-premise setup
  • Test Manager and Jira as Cloud services.
