After installing Xray, there are basically two steps you need to make or ensure before starting to use it.
In Jira's administration, in the Add-ons tab, go to Issue Type Mapping and configure what issue types should be considered as "requirements" and "defects".
Refer to the specific Issue Type Mapping page or take a look at the extensive Administration Settings if you want to fine-tune Xray or adapt it to your specific needs. |
You can enable Xray for your existing projects or create a new project with both standard and Xray issue types.
For existing projects, in the project Administration page, go to Actions at the top right-hand side. You can either:
a) set your project as a Requirements project by choosing "Enable Xray Requirement Coverage", so the requirements are covered by tests; or
b) add Xray issues (i.e., Test, Test Set, Test Execution, Test Plan) to the project.
If, instead, you want to quickly create a new project and use it to manage everything (e.g., requirements, defects, tests), go to the Jira Administration page for Projects. In the creation dialog, choose "Xray Test Project".
