Because the association between Requirement issues and Test (or Test Set) issues is done using Jira issue Links, you can just use the Jira issue linking actions as well.


Info
titleIssue Link Types

Xray uses specific Jira issue link types for associating Requirements and Tests (or Test Sets). These issue link types are installed by Xray automatically. They are:

Testsoutbound: testsinbound: tested by
Defectoutbound: createdinbound: created by

These issue link types can be used explicitly by users to associate Requirements with Tests.

The Defect issue link type is used by Xray when defects are created upon executing tests. In this case, we have relations such as Defect1 "created by" Test1.

Whenever creating Tests from Requirements or Defects, Xray will always default to the "Tests" issue link type.
