Xray Test Management for Jira

Sales & Support Solutions

Bring testing and quality management directly into your development workflow with Xray. Built for Jira, Xray helps teams manage manual and automated testing, organize test cases, track requirements and defects, and maintain visibility across the software development lifecycle.

As a result, by connecting testing with the tools and processes development teams already use, Xray helps make quality a continuous part of software delivery—not a separate step at the end of the development cycle.

Choosing the right test management platform is only the beginning. ReleaseTEAM helps organizations implement, configure, integrate, and optimize Xray to support their specific testing processes, development workflows, and business requirements.

Whether you’re adopting Xray for the first time, expanding its use across teams, integrating automated testing and CI/CD workflows, or improving an existing environment, ReleaseTEAM provides the consulting, training, and ongoing support needed to help your teams get more value from Xray and all Atlassian products.

What Are Xray Test Management Tools?

Xray provides test management and quality assurance tools designed to help development and testing teams plan, manage, execute, and track testing throughout the software development lifecycle. With deep integration into Jira, Xray brings testing into the same environment teams use to manage requirements, development work, defects, and releases.

In addition, Xray supports both manual and automated testing, helping teams connect test activities with requirements and development work while maintaining traceability from planning through release.

Xray Test Management is a Jira-native test management solution that allows teams to create, organize, execute, and track tests directly within Jira. Test cases become Jira issues, making it easier to connect requirements, tests, defects, and development activities in one workflow.

Teams can manage manual and automated tests, organize test plans and test sets, track test execution, and use reporting to understand testing progress and software quality.

Xray provides a central place to manage both manual and automated testing. Teams can document reusable manual test cases while importing and tracking results from automated testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.

By bringing these testing methods together, it provides a more complete view of quality and helps teams understand test coverage and results across different stages of development.

Xray connects requirements with the tests used to validate them, giving teams visibility into whether requirements have been tested and whether those tests have passed or failed.

This traceability can help teams identify gaps in test coverage, understand the impact of changes, and maintain evidence of testing throughout the development lifecycle.

For example, teams can organize testing around releases, projects, or specific development objectives using test plans, test executions, and related Xray entities. Teams can then track results in Jira, giving stakeholders visibility into testing progress, coverage, and quality.

Additionally, Xray’s reporting capabilities help teams identify failed tests, uncovered requirements, testing trends, and areas that may require additional attention before release.

Xray connects testing with automated development and delivery workflows, so automated test results become part of the overall testing record. It supports common testing frameworks and integrates into CI/CD processes, so teams get quality feedback as software moves through the delivery pipeline.

This helps organizations move testing earlier into development and make quality an ongoing part of software delivery rather than a final checkpoint before release.

Test Management Capabilities with Xray

Xray provides test management and quality assurance tools that help development and testing teams plan, manage, execute, and track testing throughout the software development lifecycle. Built to work closely with Jira, Xray brings manual and automated testing into the same workflows teams use to manage requirements, development, defects, and releases.

• Test Management for Jira: Create, organize, execute, and track test cases directly within Jira.
• Manual and Automated Testing: Manage manual test cases alongside results from automated testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.
• Requirements Traceability: Connect requirements to tests and results to improve visibility into test coverage and software quality.

• CI/CD Integration: Incorporate automated test results into development and delivery pipelines for continuous quality feedback.

AI-assisted development and “vibe coding” are changing how quickly teams can build and release software. But as development accelerates, effective software testing and quality assurance become more important than ever.

In this webinar, experts from Xray and ReleaseTEAM explore how organizations can leverage AI-generated code and rapid development without sacrificing software quality, security, or reliability.
