Mapping / tagging test case to one or more Acceptance Criteria Checklist in a User Story

[Venkata Praveen Bollimunta]

We are using JIra XRay for test management.

We have user stories set-up with one or more acceptance criteria checklist for each user story.

Test cases has to be created for each user story based on acceptance criteria. One or more test cases designed for each entry in acceptance criteria checklist.

But when creating a test case from User story, the test case automatically mapped to the user story but there is no way to say for which acceptance criteria the test case is written.

Is there a way to map the test case to one or more acceptance criteria? In this way we can check whether the test cases designed are covering all acceptance criteria defined.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Venkata,

It will depend on what are the acceptance criteria, if these are issue types, these can be configured as "Requirements" from the Xray perspective and so it is possible to link the Tests to the Acceptance Criteria issue type and evaluate if a given Acceptance Criteria has pass in the Tests or not.
In this case, the Acceptance Criteria will be covered by the Xray functionalities.

If the acceptance criteria is a custom field or other Jira object, it will be very complicated to establish a relation between the acceptance criteria and the Xray Tests.

Best regards,

I have a concern with the answer :

In SAFe NFRs are considered as Acceptance crireria

A product maintain a list of NFRs that must be respected by all issues (so a list of acceptance criteria)

The problem is that issues are not permanent items : when they are "Done" they disappear 

The only way I found to manage this is using Confluence page with list of NFRs each linked with a test in Xray. We can also maintain a page linked to a test set or a test run

Have you ever experiment this kind of solution ?
