Integrating Integration with testing frameworks is achieved by processing the results contained in the reports test runners create (e.g., in XML, JSON). The results are mapped to the proper Test issues and, if possible, ; if they don't exist then they will be created. This flow is explained in Using Generic Tests for Automation, although . Xray also supports Cucumber tests natively.

Many of these frameworks provide test runners that are able to output reports in the JUnit XML format. Therefore, in In the "worst" case" , your automated tests can be imported to JIRA Jira and mapped to "Generic" Test issues , by importing JUnit XML test result reports, as detailed in Taking advantage of JUnit XML reports. Note that the JUnit report format is rather limited and sometimes it's is not supported by some testing frameworks.
Another way of integrating with testing frameworks is by using the NUnit test runner Nunit's XML report format. Nunit The NUnit report format has more features than JUnit 4.0 XML report, which allows Xray to do things such as automatic linking to issues (e.g., requirements) or assignment of labels to the newly created Test entities.
Besides this, Xray also provides specific integrations for some frameworks, such as Cucumber, Behave, Robot, Xamarin, and other frameworks.

Summary of features per framework
The following table presents the available features , whenever when importing automated test results.
The Xray JSON format is a more generic format and its capabilities, if used for importing, are different, as shown bellow.
Robot framework | Junit JUnit 4 | Nunit NUnit 2.6/3.x | Cucumber | Xray JSON | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Abstract automated test as a Test (map an automated test to a Test issue in JIRAJira) | Yes (as a Generic Test) | Yes (as a Generic Test) | Yes (as a Generic Test) | Yes (as a Cucumber Test) | No. Tests must exist beforehand. |
Make Test specification in JIRAJira (specify the Test itself in JIRAJira) | No | No | No | Yes | Yes |
Create Tests from results (create Tests whenever importing results) | Yes | Yes | Yes | No* (however, tehre but there is and endpoint for importing Cucumber features, which will create Tests for the respective Scenarios/Scenario Outlines) | No |
Uniquely identify Tests (identify existing Tests whenever importing results, avoiding duplication of Test issues) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes* (based on the provided Test issue keys) |
Import results (importing results by REST API or UI) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Import “labels” (create labels in the Test issues) | Yes (labels may be specified in the test's source code) | No | Yes (labels may be specified in the test's source code) | Yes* (this is only available whenever when using the endpoint for importing Cucumber features; it's not possible whenever when importing results) | No |
Automatic linking to requirements (create links to requirements) | Yes (requirement's issue key may be specified in the test's source code) | No | Yes (requirement's issue key may be specified in the test's source code) | Yes* (this is only available whenever when using the endpoint for importing Cucumber features; it's not possible whenever when importing results) | No |
Semantic on the results (present detailed execution details in the execution screen) | Yes (keywords keyword “steps”) | - | Yes (Test Suites & Suites and parameterized Tests) | Yes (steps for scenarioScenario/scenario outline Scenario Outline and backgroundBackground) | Yes* (semantic is implicit, because the Test must be created beforehand) |
