1. Xray for JIRA Overview
Bruno Conde
Lead Product Developer

2. Why JIRA?
“JIRA is the ideal environment for Test Management”
• Project Management
• Defect Tracking (bugs)
• Collaboration / Comments
• Customizable and adaptable
• Advanced Workflow capabilities
• Searching
• Work Assignment
• Tracking changes
• Relating issues using links
• Importing issues from other systems or
formats
Tests
Defects
Requirements

3. ... so what is missing?
• Test related artifacts (tests, executions, plans)
• Visibility of testing results and progress in Agile boards
• Requirement Coverage visibility
• Advanced reporting for generating documents and drill-down
on data

4. Testing with Xray
Specify
• Test
• Pre-Condition
Organize
• Test Set
• Test Repository (v3.0)
Plan
• Test Plan
Execute
• Test Execution
• Sub-Test Execution
• Test Run

5. Xray for JIRA
Manual and Automated and Pre-Conditions
Specifying Test Cases

6. • Composed by a list of steps
• Each Step is defined by:
• Action/Step
• Data
• Expected Result
• Input Attachments
• Support for JIRA Wiki markup
• Importing steps from
• Excel (using copy&paste)
• CSV
• JSON
• Other Test issues
Specifying “Manual Tests”

7. • Native support for Cucumber
• BDD – Specify tests in a business-readable
domain-specific language
• Test definition serves as documentation
• Automated test steps may be implemented in
Ruby, Java, .Net, etc
• Export specification and execute it during
Continuous Integration
Specifying “Automated Cucumber Tests”

8. Abstracts initial steps that must be ensured before starting the test.
• Manual or Automated (mapped to background clause in case of Cucumber)
• Reusable; may be linked to multiple Tests
Complement specifications with “Pre-Conditions”

9. Xray for JIRA
Organizing your Test Cases
Organize Test Cases using Test Sets or create a hierarchy

10. Flat, with “Test Sets”
Organizing Tests Cases
A issue that represents a list of tests organized
by some logical way.
For the “hierarchy/folder mindset”…
Hierarchical (v3.0)

11. Xray for JIRA
Plan which Test Cases will be included in your next
“release/cycle” and analyze the testing progress
Creating a Test Plan

12. A “Test Plan” has the following goals:
• Specify which Test Cases will be
included in your testing goal (e.g.
the next release)
• Consolidating the latest execution
results for the Tests
Planning with “Test Plans”

13. Xray for JIRA
Executing Tests

14. A task for executing a group of tests on a given version and environment of the
system.
• Contains a list of tests and their results (i.e. test runs)
• Can be labeled, prioritized, assigned to testers and contain components, etc.
• May be created manually or during Continuous Integration
Executing with “Test Executions”

15. • Set Execution Result
• Create Defect issues
• Attach Evidences
• Add comments
• Check the Execution Activity Log
At the execution screen of a Test Run…

16. Xray for JIRA
Automated Tests

17. Supported formats
• Xray JSON
• Cucumber
• Behave
• JUnit
• Nunit
• Robot framework
• Calabash
• … more to come
Integrating with automated test frameworks

Where do I create Test cases? And what about Executions?
Project Organization Scenarios

20. A single project to manage your Requirements and Defects, Test
related issues and also have all your Test Executions.
All for One and One for All

21. A dedicated project for Xray issue types.
Don't mix my Requirements and Defects with Tests

22. Ok, great… but how can I know the
status of requirements?
Xray for JIRA

23. Requirements with testing information
With Xray:
• Real-time information about the
coverage status of the
requirement for a given version
• Real-time information about the
associated test results, for a
given version
• A ”requirement” may be any
issue type you may have; test
coverage can be made in any
issue type

24. Xray for JIRA
Analyzing the status of Requirements, Tests for a given project
Reports

25. • Built-in reports
• JIRA gadgets in JIRA dashboards
• Agile boards
• Through other top-notch JIRA add-ons
Multiple ways of reporting

26. Provides a quick way of evaluating the current (coverage) status of your project's
requirements, so you will be able to see if they are ready to release or not.
These reports are provided both as native reports as well as Gadgets.
Requirement Coverage Reports

27. Shows the testing traceability, from requirements to defects.
This helps you analyze the requirements and related Tests, Test Runs and
defects, for quickly identifying uncovered or incomplete/faulty requirements.
Traceability Report

28. Xray gives you visibility of your testing results and its progress.
Enhanced Agile Boards with Xray

29. Use Xporter to generate fully customizable Word, Excel or PDF files with your testing
reports to give to your management, colleagues or to your customers
(e.g. Test specification, Test Execution progress and respective results, Test Plan details).
Reports as deliverable assets

30. Our support is amazing!
