The default Test Statuses are:

FAILEDThe 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 Settings > Apps > Xray > Test Statuses and go to Add New Test Status section at the bottom of the page.


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. 
  • Color: the color for the new custom status.
  • Test Coverage Status: the coverage status to map this status when calculating coverage.



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

Test Coverage 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

It’s not possible to create custom requirement statuses.
