Xray can be enabled in your existing projects or your team may decide to create new projects.
The setup that needs to be done depends on the decisions made by your team in terms of project organization.
Identify the project organization approach
As Administrator, you need to know how many Jira projects your team will need you to create.
The number and setup that are needed depend directly on the project organization approach that your team decides to use.
Discuss with your team or Quality Manager the available options in terms of organization and create the project and specific set up that needs to be done!
In the next step " Understanding project organization approaches" you will learn more about the project organization approaches.
Identify the project scope
When you create a new project you must understand the project scope regarding Xray. Depending on the scope you will need to perform specific configurations.
| Enable Requirement Coverage | Enable Xray Issue Types | |
|---|---|---|
| Is the project going to have requirements, defects, tests, test plans, test executions together in the same project? |  | |
Is the project only to accommodate test entities? |  | |
| Is the project only to accommodate requirements or other covered issues? | | |
Learn more about the configuration needed at the next modules:
- Creating a new project with Xray
- Enabling a Project to be a Test Project
- Enabling a project to be a Requirement Project
If you just perform the Basic Setup it means that you have activated Xray at an existing project and that you have Requirements, Defects and Test entities all together. Check if it's time to create new projects!
