One of the primary points of being Agile means having a tool that adapts to your team's needs. This document sums up the different possibilities you have in working with Xray in an agile context and provides some guidance in getting started. Of course, we always suggest you evaluate what best fits your team's needs. 


In order to have a successful Agile process, you need to have these processes/mindsets in place:

  • immediate information/no handoffs: Xray provides immediate information visibility right within your work item. This way, you don't have to ask someone to know about results, testing progress, or what is the coverage status of an Epic/Story. For example, you can see how a user story is from a QA standpoint, right from the Story issue screen; likewise, you can see QA feedback in your existing Scrum Boards
  • collaboration: everyone is invited to collaborate, no matter their role; therefore, anyone can interact and collaborate on user stories, test cases, test planning, test execution.  This is because Xray works inside Jira and uses different issue types as an abstraction of its own entities, meaning you can collaborate inside Jira, the Jira way (smile)
