Cucumber Tests (or scenarios) are of two Scenario Types:
- Scenario: a a set of instructions exclusively composed by of constant values, which, when executed by a tool, will only give a static result (e.g., 2 + 3 = 5)
- Scenario Outline: a generic set of instructions containing variables, which, when executed by a tool, will prompt varied results according to the specified input.
In Xray, you can specify the scenario and the scenario type directly directly on the Test issue.

In order to edit the scenario type you just need to hover over the field and click on it. The field will display an edit mode where you can change the value using a single select list field. After choosing the value, just press the check button near the field to save the new value.
To edit the scenarioTo edit the scenario itself, you need to use the Edit Steps button.

Gherkin Tests in Xray can be exported to .feature files ready to be executed in Cucumber. The generated feature files follow the rules defined in Export Cucumber Features backup and take into account the context of the Jira Test issue.
