The Jira integration syncs fields and statuses both ways, supports Jira Cloud and on-premise test management, and can submit defects automatically when tests fail. Listed source control integrations include Git, GitHub, Azure DevOps (TFS), Subversion, GitLab and Helix Core; AWS CodeCommit and Bitbucket are marked as coming soon.
