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 Test can only by in one folder… so it cannot be categorized in multiple ways
simultaneously (as you can do by using labels)
• 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..

Test Manager finds accurate at that time
• Order Tests with Test Ranking inside Test Plan
