To start using the XRAY TEST Project Template you need to create a new project, using the Create Project Wizard.
Info

Please note
As of v3.3When using the Xray Template, the project is created as being a "Business" based project.
You may want to change the project type to "Software" by going to Project settings > Details > Project Type, so that you can take advantage of some features such as Backlog management and visibility of active Sprint using the project side bar.
UI Step
What is going to be created with the XRAY Test Project Template?
Issue Type Scheme
This scheme uses all Issue Types from Default Issue Type Scheme and adds, if not already added, all Xray Issue Types.
Tip
Depending on the number of issues types your JIRA instance has, you may want to update the Issue Type Scheme to get rid of issue types that are not useful for your project.
Screens
Xray creates 9 project-specific Screens. Each Xray Issue Type has 2 screens (one for create/edit and one for viewing) and all other Issue types are mapped to the default screen.
Screen Schemes
Xray creates 5 project-specific Screens Schemes. Each Xray Issue Type has 1 screen scheme (configured with the 2 screens shown above) and all other Issue types are mapped to the default screen scheme.
Issue Type Screen Scheme
Xray creates a project-specific Issue type Screen Scheme (configured with the 5 screen schemes shown above).
Tip
By default, XRAY will map the XRAY Screen Scheme to all unmapped issues. This means that if you have an issue type like "Story" it no longer have the "Default SCRUM Screen Scheme" associated like when you use the "Scrum Software Development Template". You may want to change this!
UI Step
What needs to be done next?
Clean Up Schemes - You may want to clean up the issue type scheme and get rid of the issues types that are not useful to your new project.
Turn in to a requirement project - If you have requirements in this new project, you may want to turn it into a requirement project, by enabling Requirement Coverage. See how in the module Enabling a project to be a Requirement Project.
