Testing daily tasks will be mostly focused on the testing activites described bellow and consists mostly of designing tests: writing/specifying Tests and organizing them in Test Sets.

Whenever you're creating Tests, you will also associate each Test to the requirement(s) it validates; this is essential for the requirement coverage calculation and all the reporting you will need afterwards.

Your testing plan may be more or less formal (see Test Process) but probably you will end up using Test Plans. By creating a Test Plan with all the relevant tests for your release, you will be able to track immediately the status of those tests and the associated requirements. From that plan, you will schedule, assign and execute tests by creating one or more Test Executions; most probably some tests might fail, so you will end up creating new or cloning existing Test Execution(s) until you have all your requirements fully validated or you decide to release.

Xray provides multiple ways to gather QA related metrics of your project, so that whenever you decide to make your release, it will be a consubstantiated decision.
