Overview
The typical testing lifecyle lifecycle follows a set of phases that may not be exactly sequential.
...
- Plan phase: Test Plan issues;
- Design phase: The specification can be defined using Precondition and Test issue types. The organization of the tests can be defined using Test Sets.;
- Execute phase: Test Execution issues;
- Report phase: Test Execution issues, along with the built-in requirement coverage reports and some custom ones using Jira tools.
Complete (with workflows)
This is similar to the previous approach, but allows the complete control of the test management workflow.
Let's say you want to validate and approve Test-related issues before using them. Whatever workflow fits your organization/scenario the best, you are able to fully manage your testing lifecycle using Jira's workflow facilities for Xray's issue types.
Below is an example of a a possible workflow for Test, Precondition or Test Set issues.

Note that Xray does not not install any workflow, but it is workflow-aware, providing some configurations specifically for that purpose (see Global Preferences page). .
