In the Test Execution View Page, each row of the table represents a Test being executed by this Test Execution.

One of the default columns is #Def, which represents the number of defects created during execution of each Test.

Rule of counting

The rule for counting defects for each Test is to sum

all defects created during execution
all defects linked with issue link type "created"
all defects linked with issue link type "tested by"

Each defect will only be counted once.

Example 1: Defects linked to a Test

Xray for JIRA 3.0 > Defects count > GlobalPreferencesChecked.png

Xray for JIRA 3.0 > Defects count > Test1_in2TestEcxecutions.png

Test 1 was executed in Test Execution A and Test Execution B.

We can see that there were 3 defects generated by Test Execution A (TWWB-6, TWWB-6 (Step #1), TWWB-7 (Step #2)) and 5 defects from Test Execution B (TWWB-6, TWWB-8,TWWB-9 (Step #2), TWWB-7 (Step #1), TWWB-10 (Step #2)).

If we go to each of this Test Executions, we will see that each Test counted 5 defects.

Example 2: Defects not linked to a Test

Xray for JIRA 3.0 > Defects count > GlobalPreferences.png

Xray for JIRA 3.0 > Defects count > TestNotLinked.png

Test 2 was executed in Test Execution A1 and Test Execution B1.

We can see that there were 3 defects generated by the execution Test Execution A1 (TWWB-6, TWWB-6 (Step #1), TWWB-7 (Step #2)) and 5 defects from Test Execution B1 (TWWB-6, TWWB-8,TWWB-9 (Step #2), TWWB-7 (Step #1), TWWB-10 (Step #2)).

If we go to each of this Test Executions, we will see that each one Test had 3 defects and the other had 5 defects.

Results explanation

The only difference between those two examples is that we removed the link creation between Test and Defect. When Xray counted the bugs from Test Execution A and Test Execution A1, the differences resides in the links Test 1 and Test 2 had to the defects created in the other Test Executions.
