If you have Xray installed in a standard JIRA server, you can just update it as detailed in InstallationFAQ (please check the JIRA compatibility matrix first).

...

There is no "Requirement" issue type installed by Xray. In fact, Xray does not install any requirement related issue types. If you had the opportunity to attend one of our webinars, namely the Xray walkthrough, you may see that with Xray you are able to define which issue types Xray should considered as requirements so you can cover them with Tests. Besides the standard "Story" and "Epic" JIRA issue types, JIRA allows you to create your own issue types. You just need to configure Xray properly, as detailed here, to let Xray internaly treat those issue types as being requirements.

...

Both can be achieved in Xray's administration (see Quick Setup FAQ for instructions), although the first one may be done also in the project settings page.

...

The association of a Test with a project version is not direct. Your tests are written in order to validate some requirement, that itself belongs to a specific version. Although a Test may be associated with a requirement of a specific version, you are able to run tests for the versions you would like to. In terms of requirement coverage, you have different behaviors to choose from in the administration settings (see Requirement Coverage Strategy).

How do I define which tests should be used for regression testing?

Please take a look at Tips for organizing testsFAQ.

Can I links Tests to another Tests?

...

The "TestRunStatus" is a calculated field, usable in the context of Test issues, that calculates the "status" (not the workflow status) of the Test for a specific version, having in mind executions (i.e. test runs) for that version. The version that it calculates the status for depends on the behavior for that field defined in a global configuration (see configuration details and explanation here). Currently, it is not possible to specify explicitly the version that you want to calculate the status on. The calculated value for the field also depends on Test Environments, if they're being used, as mentioned here. As an example, you may prefer to always show the latest test run result independently in which version it was executed... or you may prefer to show the status of the latest run executed on the earliest version yet to be released. In the later case, it takes into account the order of the versions within the project settings page.  

...

You can do it easily within the Test Plan screen, by pressing the "Create Test Execution" button. You may also create a new Test Execution for some of the tests listed in the table bellow the Filters, by pressing the bulk icon Image RemovedImage Added and then pick the relevant tests (you may use filter to help you out), and then choose the Create action in the actions icon Image RemovedImage Added, available on the right side of the table.

Can I have multiple Test Plans for a version?

...

Xray does not install any "default" workflow for the issues it provides. You may define whatever worfklow you think fits best your scenario/organization. Xray is workflow aware though, and provides some configurations specificaly for that purpose (see Global Preferences page),   

Licenses

What JIRA versions do you support?

Please see our Installation page.

Do you support JIRA Data Center (i.e. high availability)?

...

  • Check that User that upload the result file have the RESOLUTION permission 
  • Check that Test Execution is not in a Workflow status marked as non-executable in Xray "Global Preferences"

Is it possible to import Tests and link them to other issues (e.g. requirements)?

Yes. You can add one or more columns in your CSV and then map them to "Link Tests"'. Please see the documentation of Importing Manual Tests using Test Case ImporterFAQ.

Can I migrate my Tests from one JIRA server to another one?

Yes, with some constraints. Please see the proper section within the documentation of Importing Manual Tests using Test Case ImporterFAQ.


How can I migrate my legacy executions to JIRA?

...

One way eventualy would be by using the REST API: Import Execution Results - RESTFAQThis will require some development effort from your side and will also require that you have the Tests already created in JIRA.
Another option could be using the built-in JIRA CSV importer (not Xray's Test Case Importer), in order to create the Test Executions with the Tests. However, you would still need to use the REST API in order to submit the results for the Tests contained in those Test Executions.
