What exactly is Jira?
Jira is a project management and issue tracking application. It is popular among developers and is an excellent fit for agile teams. It allows you to assign tasks and track bugs. It is available in two different variants. We're looking at the cloud-hosted version here, but if you like, you may also self-host and join the devops certification course. Jira is a great choice if you're working on an open-source project because it's free. Jira has a variety of extensions available on the Atlassian Marketplace, in addition to being very customisable. These allow you to expand your capabilities. We'll take advantage of that functionality to put up our Azure DevOps integration.
What is Azure DevOps all about?
Azure DevOps is a mechanism for managing projects and keeping track of your code. It provides facilities for testing, build automation, release management, as well as code versioning. It's popular among developers, just like Jira, and it works well with Visual Studio, Microsoft's main programming environment, as well as Eclipse. It also has a feature in common with Jira: it has two versions. It is available in the cloud or on your own server. It features an extension marketplace where you can expand what it can accomplish.
Why use Azure DevOps and Jira together?
Both platforms have strengths that are beneficial to teams in various positions. For example, a corporation might have a backend team utilizing Azure DevOps and a frontend team using Jira. You could also use one system for developers and another for customer service. The most significant benefit of such an integration is that the teams are free to set up their own platforms as they see fit. They'll be working in their own space, so they won't have to worry about their safety or autonomy being compromised. However, there are certain drawbacks to this strategy as well. Teams can get segregated if you don't keep an eye on things. It is possible to duplicate the information they store.
