# Introduction
[Test Executions](https://getxraydocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/XRAYCLOUD/pages/44565117) can be manipulated in the Testing Board, a tool for organizing and tracking Testing activities within a project. It provides an overview of all Tests and their statuses, helping QA teams monitor progress, prioritize tasks, and ensure alignment with project requirements. The Testing Board supports a clear, organized workflow, aiding in efficient decision-making throughout the Testing process.
> ℹ️ The Testing Board is available in projects with Xray Issue Types or Issue Types that are coverable by Xray. If your project previously met these criteria but no longer does, and you wish to remove the Testing Board menu item, you can disable it in the Xray settings for that project.

There is an overall view of the Test Execution progress (Figure 5 - 1) and each of the Test's status can be seen below (Figure 5 - 2).
## Test Actions
In the bottom half of the screen, you can see the list of Tests associated with the Test Executions that make up the Test Runs of the Test Execution (Figure 6 - 1).
Right-clicking a Test will open a box with the actions available for that Test (Figure 6 - 2).
