Implement Firebase Crashlytics to Jira Integration for Automated Bug Reporting
Description
🎯 User Story
As a development team, I want Firebase Crashlytics crashes to automatically create Jira issues so that we can track and prioritize app crashes efficiently without manual intervention.
📋 Story Description
Implement an automated integration between Firebase Crashlytics and Jira to streamline crash reporting and bug tracking for the Flutter mobile application.
✅ Acceptance Criteria
Core Functionality:
-
Crash Detection: When a crash occurs in the Flutter app and is reported to Firebase Crashlytics
-
Automatic Issue Creation: System automatically creates a new Jira issue in the SMR project
-
Intelligent Deduplication: Prevent duplicate issues for the same crash/error type
-
Proper Categorization: Issues are created with appropriate labels, priority, and epic assignment
Issue Details Requirements:
-
Title: Clear, descriptive crash summary
-
Description: Stack trace, device info, app version, crash frequency
-
Labels:
CRASHLYTICS
,AUTO-GENERATED
,FLUTTER
-
Epic Link: SMR-2 (Flutter)
-
Priority: Auto-assigned based on crash frequency/severity
-
Components: Flutter, Mobile
Advanced Features:
-
Crash Grouping: Group similar crashes into single issues
-
Frequency Tracking: Update existing issues with crash count and new occurrences
-
Severity Assessment: High-frequency crashes get higher priority
-
Environment Context: Include device type, OS version, app version in description
🛠️ Technical Implementation
Integration Options:
-
Firebase Functions: Cloud function triggered by new Crashlytics events
-
Webhook Integration: Direct webhook from Firebase to Jira API
-
Scheduled Sync: Regular polling of Crashlytics data
Required Configurations:
-
Firebase project setup with Crashlytics enabled
-
Jira API authentication and permissions
-
Mapping rules for crash types to issue priorities
-
Deduplication logic based on stack trace fingerprints
📊 Business Value
Benefits:
-
Faster Response: Immediate awareness of app crashes
-
Better Tracking: All crashes documented and prioritized
-
Data-Driven: Crash frequency data helps prioritize fixes
-
Reduced Manual Work: No manual crash report creation needed
-
Improved Quality: Systematic tracking leads to better app stability
Success Metrics:
-
100% crash coverage: All crashes automatically tracked
-
<5 minute delay: Issues created within 5 minutes of crash
-
0 duplicates: Intelligent deduplication working correctly
-
Proper prioritization: High-frequency crashes flagged appropriately
