How can I create Test and Test Execution issues type in my Jira Software account

Question

Hi,

I need to create Tests and Test Executions in my Jira Software account.

but I don't have those options.

the only types are:

How can I get the types that I detailed?

or maybe I need to install different Jira that contains all?

And of course, that they contain all the things that should be in them.

Thanks a lot!

Hello @Efrat Cohen

Welcome to the community.

The Test and Test Execution issue types are not native Jira functionality. They are added to the system when you add a third party app to you system that provides that functionality. There are several such apps available in the Atlassian Marketplace; Xray, mentioned by @Damian Wodzinski , is just one of them. Most cost money to use. I notice your post indicates you are using a Free subscription of Jira. Here is a Marketplace search for Test Management apps that are free for up to 10 users.

If you have one of those apps installed, then the new issue types it creates are available to projects when they are added to the Issue Type Scheme associated with the project (for Company Managed projects). Depending on the app it might add them to all schemes by default, or it may require a Jira Administrator manually update each scheme where they are needed.

It is the Issue Type Scheme associated with the project that determines which types of issues are available for a Project in the Create Issue dialog.

The Issue Types that are available to your Company Managed projects will be shown in Settings (the gear icon) > Issues > Issue Types.

I have not investigated if or how these apps integrate with Team Managed projects. Those types of projects allow for custom creation of issue types and don't use the Issue Type Schemes. So, I'm unsure how new issue types created by third party apps are made available to Team Managed projects.

Do you have any addon related to testing? Xray for example?
