Can I create Test steps for custom Generic Test types?

[Avimanyu Chakraborty]

Hi,

As mentioned in this link, https://confluence.xpand-addons.com/display/XRAY/Test#Test-TestTypes, I am aware that I can create restricted custom Test Type in Xray.

But, is it possible to configure test steps (similar to Manual test type) for an Automated[Generic] Test Type?

I have a situation where my automation framework generates test steps for test cases. In summary, my requirement is:

1. A test type, other than Manual Test type (may be a custom one)

2. The new test type should support inclusion of test steps.

Thanks and Regards,

Avi.

Hi Avimanyu,

Unfortunately, currently Xray Generic Tests are unstructured test cases.

Xray for Jira Server does not provide the ability to create fully customized Test Types (Xray for Jira Cloud, our brand new product, already supports it).

We aim to add this capability in the future to Xray for Jira Server.

Meanwhile, if you wish to have steps, then you have to use Manual Tests and use some other field or a label as means to distinguish the kind of Test.

Best regards,

Xray Team
