Organizing your tests is a crucial part of your daily testing activities. Since your project may have hundreds or thousands of tests, it is imperative that you organize them efficiently so you can find relevant tests quickly.

While many organize using labels, components, priority, etc., they are usually insufficient and would not scale according to your needs.

Xray has a specific issue type for grouping tests: the Test Set. It is basically a flat list of Tests and is a simple way to create different groups of Tests. You may have as many Test Sets as you want and a Test may be included in multiple Test Sets. Test Sets are great if you want to have full control over certain groups of Tests. You can easily select them whenever you want (e.g., when creating Test Plans or Test Executions). They can also be used as a dynamic way to cover requirements.

Check out some tips that we put together to help you choose the right approach.
