Integrating JIRA with Bamboo for build management
Bamboo is the continuous integration and build server from Atlassian. If your development team is using Bamboo, you can integrate it with JIRA and have your build plans as part of your release process.
Getting ready
Since we will be using Bamboo in this recipe, you will need to have a Bamboo instance running. If you do not have one, you can download a free Bamboo trial from https://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo.
How to do it…
Since we are connecting to another Atlassian application here, we should take advantage of application links:
Navigate to Administration | Add-ons | Application Links.
Enter your Bamboo URL and create the application link. JIRA should automatically detect the target application as Bamboo. If, for some reason, it does not, make sure you select Bamboo as the Application Type when prompted.
How it works…
Once you have integrated JIRA and Bamboo, you will be able to run and release build plans directly from JIRA. All you have...
