But to extend my question. What are the best practices, if you have an \"external Test Team\". Should we
* create the Test Cycles and Test Plans in the \"Test Project\" where all the Test Cases from all Products are
* or should we create Test Cycles and Test Plans within the Product Projects and use the Test Cases from the centralized \"Test Project\"
The thing is, that this \"Test Team\" is testing all products. Should we organize it from a centralized Testing Team point of view - so everything related to product testing is in the same project.
Or should the Test Team switch to each Jira Project and execute the Test Plans and Test Cycles in the corresponding product project.

I'm not sure if there's a 'best approach' for this scenario but what's most important to me is reporting to stakeholders and making that as efficient and accurate as possible, so I would go with a centralised Project. That way, I could report overall testing progress within a single project, and not have to report from multiple Product projects - and I could still also report by Product, by using Test Plans and Test Cycles. You could also setup your Folder structure to replicate the Product setup you have, and create a Folder specifically for your System Testing team.
Hope that helps.
Best, Andy
