If your Jira Cloud UI layout looks like the following screenshot, then it means you're using the "old" Jira UI. You need to switch to the new layout, which you can do in your profile located at the top right-hand corner.

After installing Xray, there are basically a few steps you need to make at the project level.

To enable Xray at the project level, the user needs to have "Browse Projects" permission enabled at the Project Permission Scheme. If you do not have it, please ask help to your Jira Administrator before proceeding. |
You can do it for a brand-new project or for an existing one.
If you're not sure where to start, you can create a Demonstration Project with sample data to explore.
These operations can all be done from within Xray Settings available at the project settings page.

Configure Xray Issue Types
...
in your project
In order to configure Xray issue types with a project, you must know if you are in a team-managed project or in a company-managed project. The configuration steps for Xray issue types will be different for each kind of project.

Company-Managed Project (old Classic Project)
Tests, along with other entities, are abstracted as Jira Issue Types. Thus, you need to add them to the Issue Type Scheme used by your project.

Please note that Xray doesn't work with the Agility based project templates (i.e. Kanban and Scrum), available in the new Jira experience; you should create or use projects based on the "Scrum (classic)" or "Kanban (classic)" project templates instead. |

Team-Managed Project (old Next-Gen Project)
Within team-managed projects, you first need to create the necessary issue types manually.
- In the team-managed project settings, navigate to Issue Types and press Add Issue Type. Specify a name, description and icon for the new issue type. For simplicity, you can choose the same issue type names as the default global Xray issue types. Repeat these steps for all other necessary Xray entities such as: Test, Precondition, Test Set, Test Plan and Test Execution.
E.g. Creating the Test issue type:
You can download the icons for the Xray issue types below:

- Map Issue Types to Xray entities: The next step is to map the issue types created in the first step with Xray entities. You can do that by accessing the Xray "Issue Types Mapping" settings page and selecting the corresponding issue types:
Now you should be able to start creating Xray entities within your team-managed project. These issue types will behave exactly like the global Xray issue types that are installed by Xray.
Configure Requirements and Defects
- In the Test Coverage section, define the Covered Issue Types (i.e., the testable entities such as the typical requirements, user stories, epics). Drag the ones you want from the Available Issue Types column (e.g., Epic, Story) to the Covered Issue Types column. Click Save.
2. In the Defect Mapping section, define the Covered Issue Types (i.e., the testable entities). Drag the ones you want from the Available Issue Types column (e.g., Story, Epic) to the Defect Issue Types. Click Save.
