As an Xray administrator, you can create and manage globally available Test Types.
A Test Type characterizes the Test in terms of its nature, so it can be clearly distinguished from other Tests.
An Xray Test Type can be one of three kinds:
- Steps: structured; composed of multiple steps
- Unstructured: it has only one Definition field that can be used to define the Test case
- Gherkin: a test composed of Gherkin statements.
By default, upon installation, Xray will create the following Test Types:
| Rank | Option | Kind |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Manual
Manual (default) | Steps | |
| 2 | Generic | Unstructured |
| 3 | Cucumber | Gherkin |
You can configure options for the Test Type and Pre-Condition Type custom fields on this page. You can also configure contexts that will be associated with different projects. A project-level context will override the global context.
In addition to Jira's custom field configuration capabilities, you can choose the kind for each Test Type (Steps, Gherkin, and Unstructured) and keep issues updated when there are changes to Test Types.
