Without the meetings
The Story Analyser for Jira is an app specifically designed for Jira software teams, utilizing the incredible power and value of the ScopeMaster engine without ever needing to leave the platform. Employing hundreds of tests and providing instant feedback via in-depth analysis, let our software do the heavy-lifting for you by checking, cross-referencing and even sizing your user stories before you start writing a single line of code.
Ultimate in Shift Left Testing
Early testing of user stories by ScopeMaster reduces wasted effort on all software endeavours. Because it performs hundreds of dynamic tests—and in some cases thousands of dynamic tests—on each user story, it drives quality at an early stage. It checks for adherence to nine quality attributes, including consistency, clarity, and duplications, and it even finds missing stories.
- reduces rework
- reduces risk
- reduces effort
- improves quality
- improves test coverage
- increases ROI (10x or more!)
Ask your Jira Cloud administrator (or do it yourself if you have the rights) to:
-
- Install the app from the Jira marketplace (3 minutes)
- Enable it for your project (1 minute):
Total time to get up and running: four minutes or less!

Story Analyser extracts the text of the summary field of each Jira user story (issuetype is one of Story, Epic, New Feature or Improvement) and performs in-depth inspection and analysis on that text, providing feedback within the context of each user story inside Jira.
Story Analyser also provides analysis of the set of user stories (or entire backlog of user stories) on the Analysis page, including:
- Use Case Model Diagramming
- CRUD analysis
- Class and Method analysis
Story Analyser creates two custom fields in each project where it has been enabled (Detected CFP and Detected Quality) which can then be used throughout your Jira reporting suite.
Detected CFP is the number of COSMIC function points (ISO standards for software sizing) detected within the summary field of the user story.
Detected Quality is a quality grade assigned to each user story based on the detailed quality analysis performed on the summary.
You can use Detected CFP as the basis for project estimation (cost, duration, and team size). You can also use it as a true metric for determining actual development velocity.
The Story Analyser for Jira app gives you most of the ScopeMaster features without having to leave the Jira. A subscription to the Story Analyser App does not include direct access to ScopeMaster.
We take data security very seriously:
Where is your data?
Your data (the summary field from analysed user stories) is analysed and held on our servers. It is NOT combined with user data and your information is NOT visible to other organisations. All the analysis and results remain on the StoryAnalyser servers. Only the Detected CFP and Detected Quality are “pushed” back into Jira.
Security as a continuous concern
We don’t look at security as a destination; instead, we very much see it as an ongoing journey. We continually strive to improve our software development and internal operational processes with the aim of increasing the security of our software and services.
Architecture
ScopeMaster (including the JIRA app) Cloud security architecture is designed with consideration of a broad range of industry standards and frameworks and in tandem with our internal threat modeling process. It’s designed to balance the need for flexibility with the need for effective controls to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our customers’ data.
Network
We have strict controls with a focus on the sanctity of the “production” environment.
Traditional network security theory separates the world into “inside“ and “outside” and focuses on the control points between the two areas. We maintain strict control between our internal networks and the internet, focusing on the delineation between our “production” and “non-production” environments.
Application
STRIDE is an acronym for a common set of security concerns: Spoofing, Tampering, Reputation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege. This is the fundamental basis for designing security into our application.
Access to Customer Data
Within our SaaS platform, we treat all customer data as equally sensitive and have implemented stringent controls governing this data.
Support Access
Our support teams will only access customer data when necessary to resolve an open ticket.
Privacy
We appreciate our customers’ concerns about privacy–and we understand that these concerns are probably the same concerns we ourselves have when using SaaS-based applications.
GDPR
As of 3rd April 2019, the Story Analyser for Jira is fully GDPR compliant i.e. no personally identifiable data is stored.
