What is Xray for?
Xray avoids managing tests in separate files: QA, product, and development teams work in the same Jira repository.
Test repository
Structure manual tests, automated tests, preconditions, test sets, test plans, and executions in Jira.
Quality traceability
Link requirements, tests, executions, and defects to understand coverage and release readiness.
Automation
Connect results from CI/CD pipelines and testing frameworks such as JUnit, Cucumber, Selenium, or Robot Framework.
Reporting
Build dashboards and indicators for coverage, progress, execution status, and regression testing.
Xray
What Xray brings
Xray’s value comes from its native Jira integration: tests become manageable objects connected to delivery and quality decisions.
Same Jira flow
Teams use the Jira projects, permissions, workflows, fields, and search patterns they already know.
BDD and automated tests
Gherkin scenarios and automation results can be connected to functional and technical tracking.
Multi-project quality
Repositories, campaigns, and indicators can be industrialized across teams or products.
Audit-ready steering
Traceability helps demanding environments produce coherent evidence from need to test to defect.
Agile / DevOps / V-model
