Review the Default Test Statuses


The default Test Statuses are: 


NameDescriptionFinal
PASSThe test run has passed(tick)
TODOThe test run has not started
EXECUTINGThe test run is currently being executed
FAILThe test run has failed(tick)


These statuses can not be deleted nor changed. 

Create a new Test Status

To create a new status, go to Jira Administration > Manage Apps > Xray > Manage Test Statuses and press Create. 


Then fill out the configuration information: 


  • Name: the name for the custom status.
  • Description: the description for the custom status
  • Is Final: if the custom status is final or not. Final statuses will appear in the TestRunStatus custom field. 
  • Color: the color for the new custom status.
  • Requirement Status: the requirement status to map this status when calculating requirement coverage.



By creating a new test status you will map it to a specific requirement status. This allows you to control the requirement coverage calculation.

Requirement Statuses available are:

  • OK – requirement has been successfully and fully validated; all the Tests associated with the Requirement are PASSED
  • NOK – requirement is unsuccessfully validated; at least one Test associated with the Requirement is FAILED
  • NOTRUN – requirement has not been validated completely; at least one Test associated with the Requirement is TODO or ABORTED and there are no Tests with status FAILED
  • UNKNOWN – requirement is in an unknown state; at least one Test associated with the Requirement is UNKNOWN and there are no Tests with status FAILED
  • UNCOVERED – requirement is not covered with tests; the Requirement has no Tests associated with it

It’s not possible to create custom requirement statuses.
