Cutting Edge Test Management for Jira. Built for every member of your team to plan, test, track and release great software.

Xray is a complete Test Management tool for Jira. It is a full-featured app that does not require any other software in order to run.

Xray supports the entire testing life cycle: test planning, test design, test execution and test reporting. We do this by using special Jira issue types, so you can use all Jira benefits that you are used to.

Our aim is to help you improve the quality of your systems through effective and efficient testing. That’s why from our first version, Xray already supports both manual and automated tests, including full support for BDD framework (e.g. Cucumber, SpecFlow, Serenity BDD) examples/tests in the native language (i.e., English).

It has following feature

Manage all your Tests as Jira issues

• Manage manual and automated tests as Jira issues, customize screens, fields and workflows.
• Specify tests in cucumber language and integrate with test automation frameworks.
• Organize tests in folders and test sets.

Plan, Execute and Integrate
