Xray Integration

Connect Jira Xray test management tool to the Oobeya Test Analytics module.

Overview

Xray integration allows Oobeya to:

  • Analyze manual test results from Xray projects.

  • Track UAT success and escaped defects across projects.

  • Measure team-level testing efficiency and defect resolution performance.

  • Display metrics and trends in Team Health > Scorecards and organization dashboards.


Prerequisites

Before starting the integration:

  • You must have an active Jira instance with the Xray plugin installed.

  • Your user account must have permission to access Xray APIs.

  • An API Token or Basic Auth credentials are required.


Authentication Methods

Oobeya supports both authentication types depending on your Jira environment:

How It Works

Once connected, Oobeya can retrieve and process data from Xray:

  • Test Executions – total test runs, status (pass/fail), duration, and owner.

  • Test Cases – manual test details and associated UAT mappings.

  • Defects – linked or related bugs for each test execution.

This data is normalized and displayed within the Test Analytics module.


Troubleshooting
