Test Repository

What Xray aims with 3.0 – Test Repository

• Provides project level Test organization

• Tests may be organized by high-level feature, characteristic, component, sub-

component

• Tests should not be organized by execution related aspects (that’s the aim of

the Test Plan Board we’ll see later)

What Xray aims with 3.0 – Test Repository

Pros

• Hierarchical concept, similar to computer folders, may be more easy to

understand

• Can live side by side with the existing Test Set concept

Cons

• A folder cannot be used as a way to cover requirements; Test Sets can

Comparing Xray with other enterprise level tools

HP ALM/QC Xray for JIRA

Test Plan Test Repository (in v3.0) Project wide

Test Lab Test Plan Board (in v3.0) In HP ALM, it’s project wide

- Test Plan In Xray, it’s version specific

Test Set Test Execution Similar, when in HP a Test Set is

assigned to a cycle of a release.

- Test Set In Xray, a Test Set is a simple list

of tests not related with execution

aspects.

In HP ALM, it can be seen as a

Test Set without cycle and

executed results..
