We’ve added something new to Bito: Jira integration for pull requests.

From now on, Bito can automatically check your PRs against Jira ticket requirements. No more switching tabs or manually cross-checking tickets. You’ll see requirement coverage right inside the pull request. 

About Jira integration 

Usually, a reviewer has to open the Jira ticket, read through the requirements, and then flip back to the PR to see if everything matches. It’s slow, and often things slip through. 

With Bito’s Jira integration, that back-and-forth goes away. As soon as you open a PR that references a Jira ticket, Bito pulls the requirements in and runs a validation pass. The results show up directly in the pull request, so reviewers can see requirement coverage at a glance. 

How it works 

When you open a pull request, Bito will: 

  • Detect Jira tickets referenced in the branch name, PR title, or description 
  • Crawl the linked Jira issues, Stories, and Epics to pull requirements 
  • Compare those requirements against your code changes 
  • Add a Functional Validation by Bito table as a PR comment showing: 
    • Met: requirements fully implemented 
    • Missed: requirements not addressed 
    • Partial: requirements partially implemented 

Setting it up 

To enable Jira integration in Bito: 

  • Go to Manage integrations in your Bito dashboard 
  • Find Jira in the list and click Connect 
  • Authorize with your Jira account when prompted 
  • In your repo’s Agent settings, open the Integrations tab 
  • Enable Functional validation to activate Jira checks

Conclusion 

This release bridges the gap between project management and code reviews. Developers don’t have to dig through Jira manually, and reviewers get instant clarity on whether a PR actually delivers what the ticket asked for. 

Try connecting Jira in your Bito dashboard and see how much smoother your next review feels. If you’ve questions or want a quick demo of the tool:
