Emails are sent depending on the configuration of Jira notifications, defined in a Notification Scheme, for some specific JIRA events provided by Xray.

Since Concerning Test Runs related events, since the Test Run is not an issue type, events are triggered for the related Test Execution; this means that the notification recipients fields are mostly related with the Test Execution. However, in some events there can be some difference on the semantics of the fields (e.g. "current assignee" may be the assignee of the Test Run instead of the Test Execution issue).

Usually, notifications are configured to be delivered to the "current assignee" (e.g. the Test Run assignee or the Test/Pre-Condition/Test Execution assignee, depending on the context). Nevertheless, it's possible to configure other stakeholders, such as the watchers, to be notified on the changes related with Tests/Pre-Conditions/Test Runs. 

...

Xray reuses the notifications mechanism provided by Jira; this simplifies a lot the management of Test Run Xray related notifications.

In other words, email notifications are triggered based on the configuration of notifications of events, in the context of the Notification Scheme being used by the project.

When Xray is installed, the following events are also installed (if they don't exist yet):

• Test or Pre-Condition Updated
• Test Run Assigned
• Test Run Status set to Final
• Precedent Test Run Status set to Final
  
  

However, by default, no notifications will configured for those events upon installation; you'll need to add, and therefore enable, them explicitly.

There are some global settings related with Test Run Xray notifications. For more information on these settings, please see Global PreferencesMiscellaneous.
