Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up and enable Xray in your Jira project.

Quick summary

This guide shows how to configure Xray within a Jira project by navigating project settings and enabling test management options such as Miscellaneous, Test Coverage, and Test Types. Once configured, Xray lets teams manage and execute structured testing processes directly inside Jira.


Steps

  1. Go to the Jira project where you want to configure Xray.
  2. Click 'Testing Board' from the project navigation.
  3. Select the four horizontal lines (hamburger menu) to open project options.
  4. Select 'Configure Project' to begin the Xray configuration process.
  5. On the Summary page, click the 'Configure' button to access settings for Miscellaneous, Test Coverage, and Test Types.
  6. After clicking 'Configure', enable project settings by sliding the toggle to the right.
  7. With these steps complete, you can effectively manage and execute testing processes within Jira using Xray.

📌 Why this matters

Configuring Xray in Jira gives QA and development teams a native test management layer directly inside their existing project workflow. By enabling Xray's Test Coverage, Test Types, and Miscellaneous settings at the project level, teams can plan, track, and execute tests without switching tools. This tight integration between Xray and Jira reduces context-switching, improves traceability from requirements to test results, and helps teams ship higher-quality software faster. For organizations already using Jira, Xray configuration is the fastest path to structured, scalable test management.
