Configuring Test Types 

It is possible to define additional Test Types in the Xray custom field.  In JiraIn Xray's administration, you may add other values for the "Test Type" custom field (see list below). For example, you may want to differentiate automated tests that may exist simultaneously in a project.

Test Type custom field possible valuesexamplesMap them to their KindInternally will be handled as ...
"Manual", etc.Steps kind
"Cucumber", "Automated[Cucumber]", "Gherkin", "Behave", "SpecFlow", "Behat", etc.Gherkin kind
"Generic", "Automated[Generic]", etc.Unstructured kind


All other Test Types that you define will create can be mapped automatically to to one of the Steps, Gherkin, or Unstructured Tests.
