When creating a project in Jira you can select between a Team-managed project and a Company-managed project. If you are trying to set up Xray in a Team-managed project, you can easily get started without involving a Jira admin, but the changes will only affect your project.
To set up Xray in a Team-managed Project you need to:
Add Xray Issue Types
Download Issue Type Icons Here.
Navigate to “Issue Types” under “Project Settings”. Then, proceed by clicking on “+ Add Issue Type”.
(Video Description: Example for adding issue type "Test")
Repeat the above step for each Xray Issue Type & add the corresponding icon.
→ Test
→ Pre Condition
→ Test Set
→ Test Plan
→ Test Execution
Map Xray Issue Types
Navigate to “Xray Settings” under “Project Settings”. Then, proceed by clicking on “Issue Type Mapping”.
