You do not need to choose between an option. If you want you can use them all at the same time taking advantage of the differences and features of each one. 




ProsCons
Fields / Labels
  • Super Flexible
  • Jira native feature
  • Allows multiple categorizations simultaneously


  • No hierarchical organization
  • More complex to navigate into different categories 
  • More complex to have an overview of all categories
Test Sets
  • Can be used as a dynamic way to cover requirements
  • A test can be organized into multiple test sets
  • No hierarchical organization
  • Less intuitive way to organize, you need to create a new issue 
Test Repository
  • Hierarchical concept, similar to computer file systems,
  • Easier to understand (especially for users coming from legacy Test Management tools)
  • Can operate alongside with Test Sets & Fields
  • A Test can only be in one folder 
  • It does not allow categorized in multiple ways simultaneously 

The next modules will focus on Test Sets & Test Repository as they are the Xray specific features.

  • No labels
