GherkitWrite BDD scenarios on Jira issues with step suggestions, export .feature files to CI, and see each scenario's latest test result.
Full name: “Gherkit: BDD Scenarios and Gherkin for Jira”
From $10 a month for up to 10 users. Billed by Atlassian, with a 30-day free trial.
Gherkin scenarios as real records in Jira: link one scenario to many issues, reuse steps from a shared library, pull feature files into any Cucumber run, and post results back so every issue shows what passed. Runs on Atlassian.
What you get
Scenarios and results on every issue
The Scenarios panel shows each linked scenario with Gherkin highlighting and its latest CI result, including the failure message. Add a scenario or link an existing one without leaving the issue.
Write with your team's own steps
Pick steps from a library built from everything your team has written. Checks catch outline mistakes, step order and new wording before you save, and Format lines up every table.
Feature files in, results out, no egress
Your CI pulls every feature file with a project token and posts Cucumber JSON or JUnit XML back. Gherkit never calls out, so nothing breaks when a webhook or Git integration changes.

How do I get Gherkit?
Email hello@greatwork.company and we'll help you get Gherkit set up.
Do scenarios have to map one to one onto Jira tickets?
No. Scenarios live in feature files, and a scenario can be linked to any number of issues by tag. Each issue's panel shows every scenario that covers it.
What happens when a Git sync or webhook breaks?
There is nothing to break. Gherkit has no webhooks and no Git integration: your CI pulls feature files with a token before the test run and posts results after it. If a post fails, the next run updates everything.
Can my team reuse the steps it already wrote?
Yes. The step library collects every step automatically, shows usage counts, and the editor suggests library wording as you type and when a step is new. You can add notes and mark old wording as deprecated.
Can I count scenarios or report on which ones pass?
Yes. The project page lists every scenario with its latest result, and JQL (bddScenarios, bddFailing, bddStatus) finds issues by scenario coverage and status.
Will I be asked to pay during the trial?
No. Billing goes only through Atlassian: the 30-day trial, then your Atlassian subscription. Great Work never asks you for payment details.
Can I bring scenarios from another BDD app or from Git?
Yes. Export them as .feature files and run the import command from the CI tab. Issue key tags in the text become links.
