In this article we'll highlight some of Ranorex core concepts and see how to have visilbity of test automation results in Jira, using Xray.
Ranorex concepts and mapping to

Xray
Ranorex Studio provides a complete GUI for implementing automated tests. Therefore, we find some concepts typical in IDEs (e.g. solution, project).
There are some specifics though, related to test automation.
The only concept with a direct mapping to Xray will be Ranorex' Test case which will be abstracted as a Xray Test issue (unstructured/generic).
| Ranorex concept | Description | Xray concept |
|---|---|---|
| Solution | In Ranorex Studio, a solution is the top-level container that contains all other test files. Solutions are organized into one or more projects. Whenever creating a solution, we may identify the type of application we aim to test (e.g. desktop, web, mobile). A solution has always a "test suite" project. | |
| Project | A tailored place to organize test files. A project can be of one of several types, including "test suite", which offer different capabilities. | |
| Test suite | The test suite is where you build, organize, and run your tests in Ranorex Studio. A test suite consists primarily of test cases. | Doesn't exist as an entity. Will be visible and part of the definition of each Test issue. |
| Test case | A test, composed of Modules, which in turn are composed of Actions. | Test issue. |
| Module | Modules can be reused between Test cases. | |
| Action | A step, inside a Module. Can be a mouse/keyboard interaction or a validation. | |
| Validation | An assertion, a validation. | |
| Repository | A Repository contains Repository Items (i.e. UI elements) organized in a tree-like structure. UI elements that contain other UI elements are represented as folders in the repository, with app folders acting as top-level elements and rooted folders as children. | |
| Repository item | A representation of a user interface (UI) element used in a test. Each repository item has a name and is defined by its RanoreXPath (i.e. path). |

Enabling the JUnit XML report can be done right from Ranorex Studio or from the command-line.
After running the tests, we
If we run the tests from within the Ranorex Studio UI, we can go to the properties of our test suite to customize the report file name, the reports directory, and enable the JUnit XML report.
