Concerning the integration with Xray, there are two main flows to have in mind:

...

To start a session from Xray, we need first to schedule a execution for our test by creating a Test Execution with it or adding it to an existing Test Execution.

Then start your session.

First, you need to select the screen/application you wish to record (in case you aim to take screenshots or record videos).

Exploratory test


We can then perform exploratory testing and use Xray Exploratory App to assist us during the process. In the end, results can be uploaded to Xray to the original Test Execution created in Xray, being associated with the corresponding Test Run of the exploratory Test.

Starting the session directly from XEA

Assuming Xray Exploratory App is installed and the connection to the Jira/Xray instance have been configured, we just need to start Xray Exploratory App and choose "New Session for Existent Test".

Then we need to select the Jira project where we have our Test, and then identify it by its issue key. Then we just need to load it and start our testing session.
