Powerful Coverage Analysis and Test Environments for fast deployment
Xray’s unique capability of advanced coverage analysis gives you real-time statuses of the coverage of requirements on a given version, on a given plan and even on a specific environment, so you can quickly assess if requirements are validated and can be safely deployed.
The only tool that allows you to manage all your Tests as Jira issues
Xray’s tests are normal Jira issue types, allowing you to configure screens, workflows, and add custom fields to your testing related issues. With your Test Management natively integrated, your testers and developers are working on the same interface and can easily collaborate.
