Xray for Jira

The Xray Test Management for Jira integration provides an alternative to managing your tests using the Test Manager. To take advantage of this, you need to install the Jira connector and complete the integration by configuring a new connection in the Test Manager.

To connect your Test Manager instance to an XRay project follow these procedures:

Step 1: Install UiPath® Test Manager for Jira

Step 2: Configure Xray connection in Test Manager

Supported object types and data transfer direction

Supported objects

Items synchronized from Xray for Jira to Test Manager are read-only except for attachments, object labels and test case links.

- Client Id (Xray Cloud only): Create an API Key containing a Client Id and Client Secret. You need to be a Jira administrator to perform this action. Enter the Client Id generated in Jira Software.
- Client Secret (Xray Cloud only): Enter the Client Secret generated in Jira Software.
Click Save to add the connection. The Xray connection is added to the Integration list.
Copy the API Key.

Managing Tests Via Xray

The tests executed through the Orchestrator propagate the results to Xray. For more information on managing tests using Xray, see the Xray Documentation Home.

Important:

Test cases edited in the Test Manager are not synchronized with Xray. Conversely, changes made to test cases in Xray are reflected in the Test Manager.
