This repository demonstrates a streamlined approach to software test management utilizing Jira and Xray.
This description uses team-managed project.
Test Case Management:
- Leverages Xray issue types for different test case categories
- Utilizes Jira custom fields for capturing detailed test case information.
- Integrates Xray for traceability between requirements and test cases.
Test Execution:
- Implements Xray Test Repositories for grouping related test cases for execution.
- Employs Xray Test Runs to manage test execution cycles and record results.
- Employs Xray Test Plans to execute streamlined testing.
Reporting & Analysis:
- Utilizes Xray reporting features to visualize test coverage and execution progress.
| 1. | SETTING UP XRAY |
|---|---|
| 1.1. | Install the Xray app on your Jira instance. |
| 1.2. | Configure Xray by creating new issue types for test cases, pre-conditions, test sets, test plans, and test executions. |
| 1.3. | Map the new issue types to Xray entities. |
| 1.4. | Define covered issue types for defect tracking. |
| 1.5. | Set up test coverage by linking testable items to coverable ones. |
Mapping issue types:
| 2. | CREATING TEST CASES |
|---|---|
| 2.1. | Create new test cases as "Test" issue types. |
| 2.2. | Choose between Manual, Cucumber (BDD), or Generic test types based on your needs. |
| 2.3. | For Manual tests, define steps and add them sequentially. |
| 2.4. | For Cucumber tests, write test steps in the Gherkin language. |
| 2.5. | For Generic tests, provide a free-form test definition. |

| 3. | MANAGING TEST CASES |
|---|---|
| 3.1. | Organize test cases within a hierarchical structure using Test Repositories. |
| 3.2. | Create folders and sub-folders to categorize tests. |
| 3.3. | Drag and drop tests into folders or create new ones within the repository. |
Test Repository example:
| 4. | CREATING TEST PLANS |
|---|---|
| 4.1. | Define a test plan to group related test cases for execution. |
| 4.2. | Add tests to the test plan by specifying the issue ID. |
| 4.3. | Use the overview of the test plan to make edits. |
Test plans example:
| 5. | EXECUTING TESTS |
|---|---|
| 5.1. | Create a test execution for a specific test plan. |
| 5.2. | Initiate the test execution and record the results (pass/fail). |
| 5.3 | Check the Test Execution menu to evaluate the results. |
