You may want to give a look at this short video which explains the core concepts and the issue types used by Xray. |
Terminology
| Concept/Term | Issue Type | Description | Also known by the testing community as... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Test | Test | A test case. It may be either a manual or automated test, composed of multiple steps, actions and expected results. | test case, test scenario, test template |
| Pre-Condition | Pre-Condition | Initial conditions that must be assured before the Test own steps. A Pre-Condition may be used by multiple Tests. | |
| Test Set | Test Set | A group of tests, organized in some logical way. A test may belong to multiple Test Sets. | test group, test suite |
| Test Plan | Test Plan | A "formal" plan of the tests intended to be executed for a given version. | |
| Test Execution | Test Execution | An assignable, "schedulable" task to execute one or more tests for a given version/revision along with its results. | test cycle |
| Sub-Test Execution | Sub-Test Execution | A Sub Test Execution has the same functionalities as the Test Execution issue type. The difference between them is that the Sub Test Execution is a sub-Task and can be created in a requirement's context. Creating a Test Execution as a sub-task from within the requirement issue screen, will provide the user the ability to track executions in the Agile's board. | |
| test run | - | A specific run of a test. An instance of the test, containing the execution status and a snapshot of the test specification. Whenever a user adds a Test to a Test Execution, internally a test run is created within the Test Execution context. A test may have multiple test runs. | |
| test status | - | The "status" of a Test. Mostly, a shorthand for "test run status". Xray provides a calculated custom field TestRunStatus which may be used in queries, gadgets, etc, based on some rules. | .. |
| requirement | Story, Requirement, .... | Something that you expect from the system. A feature. A good requirement explains how the system should behave and it's purpose. | |
| test repository | - | The full list of tests within a project. In Xray the test repository is simply composed of all Test issues. | |
| test strategy | - | Which requirements you want to validate, how to validate, use of either manual or automated tests, the resource allocation, etc. | |
| testing lifecycle | - | After requirement specification and revision, the testing lifecyce involves test planning , test designing, test execution and test reporting. |
