Jira + Xray/TestRail

What is Jira + Xray/TestRail?

Jira is a popular project management tool widely used for tracking tasks, issues, and bugs in software development. However, when paired with Xray or TestRail, it becomes a powerful solution for managing the entire testing lifecycle.

Xray is a Jira plugin that adds comprehensive test management capabilities, allowing teams to create and organize test cases, plan test executions, and generate insightful reports—all within the Jira interface.
TestRail is an independent test case management tool that integrates with Jira to manage test plans, track test results, and ensure complete traceability between tests and project requirements.

These tools streamline collaboration between development and QA teams, enhance test traceability, and improve overall software quality by combining test management with issue tracking in one seamless workflow.
