The status of a requirement tells you information about its current state, from a quality perspective. Is it covered with test cases? If so, has it been validated successfully? In which version?

In Xray, for a given requirement, considering the default settings, its coverage status may be:

  • OK – requirement has been successfully and fully validated; all the Tests associated with the Requirement are PASSED
  • NOK – requirement is unsuccessfully validated; at least one Test associated with the Requirement is FAILED
  • NOTRUN – requirement has not been validated completely; at least one Test associated with the Requirement is TODO or ABORTED and there are no Tests with status FAILED
  • UNKNOWN – requirement is in unknown state; at least one Test associated with the Requirement is UNKNOWN and there are no Tests with status FAILED
  • UNCOVERED – requirement is not covered with tests; the Requirement has no Tests associated to it

Add Requirement Status to the Board

Go to the Project side Bar > Select Backlog or Active Sprint > Board > Configure. 


Click the Card Layout and add the Requirement Status to the Backlog or/and Active Sprint.


Adding Requirement Status is good for your testing teams because it provides a quick overview of the current statuses of the requirement issues. 

You can make this field available in the Backlog and Active Sprint view. 

Check the result


  1. Backlog View



  2. Active Sprint View



Now your team can easily see the requirement status from the quality perspective.

Note that you are limited on the number of fields (3) you're able to include in each card on the board.
