Question 1

Does Test Perspective for Confluence require Jira?

Accepted Answer

No. It is a Confluence Cloud app built on Atlassian Forge, so it does not require a Jira license, a Jira project, or any Jira-based test management app. Confluence Cloud alone is enough.

Question 2

Do we need a separate, dedicated test management tool?

Accepted Answer

No. Test cases are created and executed on Confluence pages through the Test Case macro, so there is no second tool to purchase or administer and no data migration between systems.

Question 3

What do we need to get started?

Accepted Answer

A Confluence Cloud site and permission to install an app from the Atlassian Marketplace. Install the app, add the Test Case macro to a page, and start writing test cases. It is free for up to 10 users, with no credit card required.

Question 4

Can we import existing test cases from Excel or spreadsheets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export them to CSV and use the CSV import feature. Test sheets can also be exported back out to Excel or CSV, printed, or included when a Confluence page is exported to Word.

Question 5

Where is our test data stored?

Accepted Answer

Inside your own Confluence site. The app is Atlassian Forge native with zero egress, so test data is not copied to third-party servers, which helps with GDPR and data residency reviews.
