After installing Xray, there are basically a few steps you need to make at the project level.
To enable Xray at the project level, the user needs to have "Browse Projects" permission enabled at the Project Permission Scheme. If you do not have it, please ask help to your Jira Administrator before proceeding. |
You can do it for a brand-new project or for an existing one.
These operations can all be done from within Xray Settings available at the project settings page.
In order to configure Xray issue types with a project, you must know if you are in a team-managed project or in a company-managed project. The configuration steps for Xray issue types will be different for each kind of project.
Tests, along with other entities, are abstracted as Jira Issue Types. Thus, you need to add them to the Issue Type Scheme used by your project.
This can be done automatically by clicking the Add Xray Issue Types available in the Summary section within the project settings:
Or manually either within the Jira administration or clicking Configure the issue Type Scheme manually available in the Summary section within the project settings:
2. Add Test, Precondition, Test Set, Test Execution, Sub-Test Execution issue types by dragging them from the Available Issue Types column on the right side to the Issue Types for Current Scheme on the left side. Click Save.
When a company-managed project is configured, the Testing Board may not be visible right away: |
Within team-managed projects, you first need to create the necessary issue types manually.
You can download the icons for the Xray issue types below:
Now you should be able to start creating Xray entities within your team-managed project. These issue types will behave exactly like the global Xray issue types that are installed by Xray.
2. In the Defect Mapping section, define the Covered Issue Types (i.e., the testable entities). Drag the ones you want from the Available Issue Types column (e.g., Story, Epic) to the Defect Issue Types. Click Save.
Refer to the specific Project Settings page or take a look at the extensive Global Settings if you want to fine-tune Xray or adapt it to your specific needs. |
