Strong Jira Integrations from Perforce
Development teams everywhere use Jira. That’s why Perforce offers strong integration to Jira.
By integrating Perforce and Jira, you’ll get visibility across development. No need to jump between applications and your team will be able to collaborate more effectively.
Here’s how it works.
When you integrate Perforce products and Jira, you’ll be able to sync issues automatically. That means your entire team will have status updates when and where they need them. Important metadata — such as source code commits, build results, or schedule changes — will be updated across both products in real-time, too.

What Helix Core Does
Helix Core is the version control software from Perforce. Development teams use it to securely manage all digital content — even large binary files — all in one repository. And to quickly deliver files to large, distributed teams.
Integrating Helix Core and Jenkins lets you set up powerful pipelines that bring together your:
- Source code
- Artifacts
- Non-code assets
The assets can be stored in multiple repositories or file systems. Plus all your assets can be accessed from development centers or design studios around the globe.


What Is Helix Swarm?
Helix Swarm is the code review and collaboration tool for Helix Core. Developers use it to work together on code reviews — even if they aren’t in the same office.
How the Jira Integration Works
You can link code reviews and committed changes in Helix Swarm with Jira issues.
So, when you’re working on a code review, updates will be sent to related Jira issues. That means your developers can see the status of Jira issues while working in Helix Swarm. And your project managers (or scrum masters) can see the status of code reviews and committed changes from Jira. Get more details >
Whether you’re working in Helix Swarm or Jira, you’ll always be up-to-date on code reviews.

What Helix TeamHub Does
Helix TeamHub is a code hosting platform that scales Git for teams managing large, multi-repository projects and enterprise DevOps. Helix TeamHub also supports Docker, Maven, and Ivy for built-in artifact management and improves Git build performance by up to 80 percent.
How the Jira Integration Works
You can sync your code commits in Helix TeamHub with Jira workflows and Jira issues.
So, as you work on pull requests, commits, and branches in Helix TeamHub, your Jira workflows (and issues) will be automatically updated. You’ll also be able to trigger actions in Jira while working in Helix TeamHub (via webhooks). Get more details >
No matter whether you’re working in Helix TeamHub or Jira, you’ll get instant visibility over your product status.


What Helix ALM Does
Helix ALM is an end-to-end ALM tool. Development and QA teams use Helix ALM to get traceability across the development lifecycle — from requirements to tests to issues.
How the Jira Integration Works
You can easily sync issues between Jira and Helix ALM. And you can add testing and requirements management to Jira.
So, you’ll be able to set requirements and create test cases in Helix ALM — and see them in Jira. And you’ll be able to attach Jira issues to requirements and tests — and see Jira issues from Helix ALM. Get more details >
No matter whether you’re working in Jira or Helix ALM, you’ll get instant visibility across your development lifecycle.


What Helix IPLM Does
Helix IPLM (formerly Methodics IPLM) is an IP lifecycle management platform for semiconductor companies that tracks IP and its metadata across projects, providing end-to-end traceability and enabling effortless IP reuse.
How the Jira Integration Works
You can sync bugs and issues between Jira and Helix IPLM to make issue tracking more efficient.
So, IP owners, design engineers, and other stakeholders will always know the current status of any bugs affecting their projects. And exactly which IP versions (IPVs) are impacted. This improved visibility also allows project leaders to make more informed decisions around which IPVs to integrate into their design. Get more details >
No matter whether you’re working in Jira or Helix IPLM, you’ll get instant bug visibility across your semiconductor design process.


What Helix Plan Does
Helix Plan (formerly Hansoft) is a collaborative enterprise Agile planning tool. It helps cross-functional teams plan, track, and manage their work at scale. Whether developer, manager, stakeholder or executive, everyone can iterate together sharing a single product backlog.
How the Jira Integration Works
You can sync issues between Helix Plan and Jira — and automatically map workflows between products. So, teams can keep working in Helix Plan.
Team members enter backlog items into Helix Plan as “user stories”. These items can be committed to the project schedule and planned out any way your team wants — Scrum, Kanban, Gantt, etc. Meanwhile, your developers can get their work items in Jira. Get more details >
The new Helix Plan Jira Cloud Integration lets you create a hybrid of on-prem Agile planning with Jira Cloud issue management. The existing Helix Plan Jira Server Integration will continue to be supported until Atlassian discontinues Jira Server in 2023.
Both products integrate with Jira’s Data Center product, and run on Windows. They are included when you purchase a Helix Plan license or the Perforce Indie Studio Pack.


What Helix QAC Does
Helix QAC is a static code analysis tool for C and C++. Developers use Helix QAC to comply with coding standards and find bugs earlier in development.
Helix QAC generates warnings. You can use the dashboard to annotate your source code using those warnings. It even lets you add your own notes.
How the Jira Integration Works
Code annotations can be exported from Helix QAC’s dashboard to Jira issues. A Jira issue will include a link back to the annotation on the dashboard.
So, you’ll be able to view your Helix QAC analysis results in the dashboard. Defects can be linked with Jira issues. That means developers can work off Jira tasks to fix problems in the code.
This Jira integration makes it easier to keep teams in sync across development.


What Klocwork Does
Klocwork is a static code analysis tools for C, C++, C#, and Java. Developers use Klocwork to help ensure that software is secure, safe, and compliant.
You can use the dashboard to annotate your source code with warnings generated by Klocwork. Klocwork even lets you add your own notes.
How the Jira Integration Works
Defect details can be exported from Klocwork’s portal to Jira issues. A Jira issue will include a link back to the defect details in the portal and vice versus.
So, you’ll be able to view your Klocwork analysis results in the portal. Defects can be linked with Jira issues. That means developers can work off Jira tasks to fix problems in the code.
This Jira integration makes it easier to keep teams in sync across development.
