Pros & cons of X-Ray integration?

[Deleted user]

Hello everyone,

What is your opinion about using X-Ray for test management in Jira?

Would you recommend using it over other test management tools such as HP-ALM?

If you have used the X-Ray integration, what are the pros and cons?

Thanks in advance!

We are migrating our test from HP-ALM to X-RAY at the moment. 

We were using HP-ALM for years but since the bugs are located in JIRA we decided to use one tool for all tests.

It is still in demo phase in our company but we will purchase license.

How did you mligrate froml HPALM to XRAY?

how easy is to transfer data from HPALM ?

could you please share the planning and approach since we are alos looking for a same solutoin ?

Depends on what you want to move. We used the transition as an opportunity to review our processes as new issues and workflows were built into JIRA.

ALM only allows one test at a time to be exported at once but you can build an app to pull everything if you want to upload all the tests to XRay.

Thank you so much, Can you provide me some proposal, where we see

• The approach and setup
• the cost and time needed for
  • converting S, M, L test scripts
  • migrating open defects
  • linking to features/user stories

We are about to migrate test cases from QC to Xray. FYI - there is a way to export bulk sets of test cases with the steps from QC into Excel. It does require some scripting.
