Executing Test Cases in Jira Xray
Executing test cases in Jira Xray involves a series of steps. Let’s break it down:
1. Create a Test Case
First things first, you need to create a new test case. To do this, navigate to the “Create” button on your Jira dashboard and select “Test” from the issue dropdown. Fill in the necessary details and click on “Create”.
2. Writing Test Steps
After creating a new Test Case, you need to write down the test steps. Here’s a simple example of how you can do it:
Step: Login to the application Data: Username and password Expected Result: User should be able to login successfully
You can add as many test steps as necessary by clicking on the “Add Step” button.
3. Creating a Test Execution
After writing the test steps, you need to create a Test Execution. This is the instance where you will run your test case. To do this, go to the “Test Execution” tab of your Test Case and click on “Create Test Execution”.
4. Executing the Test Steps
Once the Test Execution has been created, you can now execute the test steps. Go to the Test Execution issue and click on the “Execute” button for each step. After executing a step, you can then set the status of the step to Pass, Fail, or Blocked based on the result of the execution.
5. Updating the Test Execution Status
After all the test steps have been executed, the status of the Test Execution should be updated. You can set it to Pass, Fail, or Blocked based on the overall result of the test execution.
