This gadget provides a quick way of evaluating the current status of your project tests. You're able to visually identify the tests by filtering them beforehand, and determine their status.
Xray makes it possible for you to analyze the status for a given version, taking into account the executions made for that version. Alternatively, it is possible to perform this analysis by considering a specific Test Plan; thus, you're able to evaluate the status in its context.
This gadget provides a quick way of evaluating the current status of your project test sets. You're able to visually identify the test sets by filtering them beforehand, and determine their overall status based on all the tests associated with them.

This gadget provides a quick way enables of evaluating the status for some Tests, taking into account the results obtained in the context of a version or of a Test Plan.
Possible usage scenarios:
See the amount of Tests, by current status, for a specific Version or Test Plan (i.e. have an overview of the Tests in the context of a version or of a Test Plan)
Analyse the overall progress of a Test Plan
Analyse the overall status of some Tests, on some specific Test Environment
Analyse how a subset of some Test cases currently is (e.g. the ones defined by some relevant criteria in a user defined filter), in some version or in some Test Plan
This gadget provides a quick way of evaluating the current status of your project tests. You're able to visually identify the requirements by filtering them beforehand, and determine their coverage status.
This gadget enables you to see the overall status of a group of scheduled/executed Test Runs (e.g., from a Test Plan) through a vertical bar chart or a table, showing the amount of Test Runs per status, grouped by a given Test or Test Run field.
Some possible usage scenarios:
analyze the Test Runs from a Test Execution
analyze the Test Runs from all Test Executions belonging to a Test Plan
depict the testing results for a given component, in the context of a Test Execution or Test Plan
see how the testing is progressing in terms of scheduled runs, from the Test Run assignee perspective
see how the testing is progressing in terms of scheduled runs, based on the Test priority
see how failures, or some other test run statuses, are impacting components
After selecting the gadget you want to use, you may need to perform some settings, especially the source data ( Project or saved filter?).
Other settings can be made depending on the gadget that you have selected such as:
date range
group by
Execution Scope
Tip
By using a saved filter means, that you can display information from across different projects. Be aware that you might have to create the filter first (using Jira built-in features) in order to use it at your gadget.
