Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a Test Set in Jira using Xray.

Quick summary

A Test Set in Jira with Xray lets QA teams group and organize test cases into reusable collections that can be executed and tracked in one place. This step-by-step walkthrough shows how to create a Test Set issue type from the Testing Board and populate it with tests.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your desired project in Jira.
  2. Select Testing Board from the project menu.
  3. Click Create to open the issue creation dialog.
  4. Select Test as the initial issue type option.
  5. Go to the Issue type field and click the drop-down arrow.
  6. Select Test Set from the issue type list.
  7. Enter a name, parent, and description for your Test Set.
  8. Select Create to save and generate the new Test Set issue.
  9. Click Add Tests to begin including test cases in the set.
  10. Select from the available options: New Test, Existing Test, or Test from Test Sets.
  11. Your Test Set is ready — execute it and track results directly within Xray.

📌 Why this matters

Creating a Test Set in Jira with Xray allows QA and engineering teams to group related test cases into a structured, reusable collection — streamlining test planning and execution within the tools they already use. Xray's native Jira integration means test management stays inside your existing project workflow, reducing context-switching and improving traceability between requirements and test coverage. Teams can track execution progress and results directly on the Test Set issue, giving stakeholders real-time visibility into software quality. For organizations scaling their QA processes, Test Sets provide a repeatable, organized approach to regression testing and release validation.
