Upon successful connection, you can optionally define a label to assign to the Test issues that will be created. This may be quite useful if you need a quick way to identify the newly created issues. The label syntax is restricted in the same way as the label fields in Jira. We recommend using a unique label with numbers.
Then, you need to choose the project in which you want the Test issues to be created.
A final confirmation dialog presents information about the total number of Tests that will be imported.
This number may be lower than the actual number of Test issues that will be created; this occurs because Xray will only be able to import some of the tests, depending on their characteristics which can only be determined during the actual importation.
At the end, a brief summary is shown mentioning the total number of Test issues created and any warnings that occurred during the process.
From this screen, you can also see the list of created issues based on the label you provided. You can also consult the detailed logs about the process.
