Can I extract Xray 'Step Details' of 'Tests' from JIRA in bulk?

Yes, this is doable. Native Jira/Xray export won't give you step-level detail in bulk, but Better Excel Exporter for Jira handles it:

1. Collect all your Tests in Issue Navigator (a JQL query works fine for 500+ at once).
2. Add the "Manual Test Steps" field as a column.
3. Use the app's "Better Excel" export option.

You get one Excel file with every test's full step table (step, data, expected result) for the whole batch. Save as CSV afterward if that's the format you need.

Hi @Omer Yaylagul,

I'm not aware of a good way to export Xray test steps directly to Excel. Your best option is to check whether Xray provides a native export, use their REST APIs, or use one of the exporter apps mentioned.

If this is something you need to do regularly, or if you want always up-to-date data for reporting and analysis, you may be better off exporting your Jira and Xray data automatically to a cloud data warehouse.

Our apps, Snowflake for Jira, Databricks for Jira, and Microsoft Fabric for Jira, export Jira, Xray Test Management, and many other data sets, keeping them continuously synchronized. From there, you can easily analyze, enrich, visualize, or export the data in any format you need.

Feel free to reach out if you would like to learn more.

Best regards,

I don't think the native Jira CSV export includes Xray test steps, since those live in Xray rather than standard Jira fields.

For that much tests, I'd look at Xray's REST API or any built-in Xray export/reporting options, they're generally the supported way to bulk extract step details and test data.

hi @Omer Yaylagul 

did you try the Xray GraphQL API - https://getxraydocs.atlassian.net/wiki/x/hgWoAg
