Xray provided custom fields

As mentione mentioned in Custom Fields and Screen Configuration, whenever you install Xray it will also add some custom fields. Bellow, please find a more detailed explanation of some of the most important ones.

Requirement Status

Whenever we're speaking about status associated with a requirement, we may in fact be talking about different things:

• workflow status associated to the requirement issue (e.g. "New", "In Progress", "Closed")
• (coverage) status for some version, taking into account executions made for that version of the Tests that do validate the requirement
• "Requirement Status

...

• " custom field

The "Requirement Status" custom field is a calculated field, usable in the context of requirement issues, that calculates the requirement coverage for a specific version. The version that it calculates the coverage for depends on the behavior for that field defined in a global configuration (see configuration details here).

As an example, you may prefer to always calculate this based on the latest test run(s), independently in which version it/they was/were executed... or you may prefer to calculate it for the earliest version yet to be released (i.e. the next version). In the later case, it takes into account the order of the versions within the project settings page.  

Have in mind that a requirement  is assigned to and implemented in some version. However the requirement will still live after that version, at least for some time. Therefore, when someone mentions a "status of  a requirement", you have to ask "In which version?". The status of the requirement is thus dependant on the executions you make for the associated Tests in some version of the system, which may by different from the version in which the requirement was initialy implemented in.

This field is non-searchable.

TestRunStatus

The "TestRunStatus" is a calculated field, usable in the context of Test issues, that calculates the "status" (not the workflow status) of the Test for a specific version, having in mind executions (i.e. test runs) for that version. The version that it calculates the status for depends on the behavior for that field defined in a global configuration (see configuration details here).

The calculated value for the field also depends on Test Environments, if they're being used, as mentioned here. As an example, you may prefer to always show the latest test run result independently in which version it was executed... or you may prefer to show the status of the latest run executed on the earliest version yet to be released (i.e. the next version). In the later case, it takes into account the order of the versions within the project settings page.
