I'm working as a qa tester.

I'm new to jira and to xray

how do I create test cases, test plans and test cycles

Hi @Asaf_Zilberberg,

you create them like other issues with the create button and just choose the right issue type.

I think, it will help if you have a look at the documentation here: https://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/XRAY/User+Guide

Thanks @Bastian Stehmann,

I created an issue type of test but didnt get to the screens and stage of actual writing the test cases with steps... how do I get too that?

I have Jira and Xray... do I need something else?

[Bastian Stehmann]

No, you do not need anything else. But make sure, that xray and it's issue types are enabled for the project where you try to do this. I think, there was an option in the project settings to do that.

But it is all very well described in the documentation.

an you send me a specific link?

Have a look here

https://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/XRAY/Custom+Fields+and+Screen+Configuration

and here

https://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/XRAY/Administration+Settings

for setup.

All this links are just one or two clicks away from the link in my first post. I would really appreaciate it, if you just take a look there yourself.

[Asaf_Zilberberg]

Thanks... but on my view I don't have the part the test steps...

I just see issue type, summary and description...

what do I need to add to see the marked in the print screen section?

Hi ,

Did you read the link to customer fields and screens?

You will have to enable that field in your field configuration and add it to your screen.
