About Agile

Whenever talking about Agile, first we have to look at the Manifesto for Agile Software Development.

However, there There are many ways to look at Agile.

...

• Share real-time information with your team using Jira dashboards; if you need PDF, Excel or Word based reports, then automate their creation, storage and sharing using Xporter
• Avoid wasting or loosing time on unnecessary activities/assets; use automation (and automated tests) as much as possible
• Easily bring automated test results independently of the automation frameworks (e.g. JUnit, TestNG, Robot, Cucumber, etc), coding languages and CI tool your teams are using. It's as easy as submitting the results; Xray will do the rest

5. Adaptable

You can adapt Xray to the process your team finds most useful and make them more Agile. Use your team's feedback to embrace changes.

• Add fields, customize screens, take advantage of the many benefits provided by Jira for issues also for testing related entities
• Use all or a subset of the entities provided by Xray
• Use one or more Test Plans per sprint to track independently the progress of different subset of Tests; you can also have Test Execution on a per sprint level, to manage their work as any other task
• Use Sub-Test Executions, if you want to track your test execution work as sub-tasks of your stories similarly to other development related tasks 
• If you want to have greater control over your testing life cycle, you may use workflows and review all your testing activities; you may also automate workflow transitions as soon as you start and finish the execution of your Tests
