Creating a test cycle in Jira typically involves using a test management plugin like Zephyr Scale. Here’s how to do it:

2. In the project sidebar, look for the 'Zephyr Scale'.
3. Click on 'Test Cycles'.
4. Click on the 'Create New Cycle' button, usually located at the top right.
5. Configure the cycle. Add a name, description and other details such as planned start date and end date.
6. After configuring the details, click 'Create'.
7. Once the cycle is created, you can add test cases to it by selecting them from your test repository or directly from the test cycle screen.
