Demonstration Project

Introduction

Designed to offer a starting point for your Xray experience, Demonstration Project provides a pre-populated Project environment to help you get started with Xray quickly and easily.

Key Benefits

  • Effortless learning: if you just want to learn how Xray works, skip the initial setup and dive right into exploring Xray's functionalities.

  • Pre-populated playground: experiment with a realistic testing scenario populated with Issues from Jira and Xray. 

  • Standard vs Enterprise Features: understand the core functionalities of Xray's Standard Edition, and for Xray Enterprise users, explore advanced features like Test Case Versioning and Dynamic Test Plans.

Components

  • Sample Sprint data: the set of pre-populated Issues from Jira and Xray provides context for testing activities. The data within the Demonstration Project is for informational purposes only.

  • Reporting: Demonstration Project also enables the use of Xray reports like Coverage, Traceability, and more.

Creating and Accessing Demonstration Project

Only users with permission to create Projects can utilize Xray Demonstration Project.

 

Exploring a Demonstration Project

The Demonstration Project's pre-populated sample data environment offers a realistic testing scenario, allowing you to understand and make use of Xray's capabilities.

You cannot customize which data is deployed in the project initially. However, after creating a Demonstration Project, you can update the Issues (edit the summary or the description, add more Tests, etc.).

Example

A company in this scenario operates in the e-commerce industry and is developing its first online store. The company is using Scrum methodology for the project. Major requirements for the first release are outlined, and thorough testing of all types is necessary.

Let's dive into the key implementation steps involving Xray and Jira.

Conclusion

This example was only focused on the key steps that would apply to most use cases and the core elements of each step. However, there is much more to explore: from the Sprint board (or any Project Issue screen), you can open the list of all assets from the Demonstration Project (Figure 4 - 1).

Xray and its Enterprise version are very comprehensive solutions for test management, so there's much to experiment with. We encourage you to check out different Test types, Test Plans, Test Sets, and other aspects of the Demonstration Project.

Try it Yourself from Scratch

Now that you know what the final state could look like, we hope it will be easier for you to apply Xray to your own projects.

Keep in mind the flexibility of Project Organization - Xray Issue Types support associations from different Projects. You can separate requirements and tests, add tests from one Project to Test Executions in another Project, or even mix tests from different projects in the same Test Execution or Test Set Issue.
