Xray

Seamless Integration with JIRA and other Add-ons to enable tool to support CI/CD. Right from Confluence, bit bucket, JIRA, Jenkins, GIT, it enables a seamless integration and way to implement shift left i.e. test first approach.

There is still a need of having more planning or user mapping integration in place e.g. with MIRO or similar options.

Xray test suite integrates perfectly with Jira and ticket linking makes test management easy. The included Doc Generator add on is also useful for test and procedure report generation.

Cannot associate a requirement with a test step, so failing any individual step will fail all linked requirements

Xray is an effective test management tool which i can easily use to create test cases and manage them using my workflow. It also also gives you the option to create and manage not just test cases but test plans, test executions and test suites

It can a require a little learning curve to get familiar with its use. Usually a tutorial can help. I have also realized it is only very difficult to use with poor connections. It require high speed Internet.

I chose XRay as my client’s test case management solution because it integrates with Jira and is able to integrate (somewhat) with various automation frameworks as well as having a BDD/Gherkin setup option.

There are often many different screens to access a single ticket, and some of them have different options. It can be hard to find the right screen to edit a specific field - for instance, you can add test executions individually to test plans from the execution, but there is no option to do it from the test plan.

Support to BDD implementation is the best feature of the tool.

Better options to bulk upload test cases could have made it easier.
