I want to create Estimate based on Test count and track the executions from Xray Test executions

[Rajesh Mohanrao --CNTR]

Before start of the Release Testing want to have forecast. So the user has to give estimate with respective deliverable. Based on the estimate want to track how many executed on the specific date and how much is pending. Everyday need to track with count and percentage.

Hi @Rajesh Mohanrao --CNTR,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! 

I'm afraid it's not possible to generate forecast with the predefined tools in Jira. Most likely you will need a plugin. 

In case you want to try a plugin, you might be able to generate a forecast by using the Release Burndown Burnup Chart gadget offered by our Great Gadgets app, if your Tests are in form of Jira issues.  

The gadget can be configured as a burndown chart, with forecast:

Or as a burnup chart with forecast:

It can calculate by issue count, SPs, time estimates or any other numerical field.

Hi @Rajesh Mohanrao --CNTR Rajesh,

The Time & Cost Tracker for Jira (Timesheet | Budget | Reports) app by SaaSJet can help you achieve exactly what you’re looking for. Here’s how:

1. Creating Estimates and Forecasts 
The app allows you to create detailed estimates tied to specific deliverables or scopes, such as test counts, before starting your project. These estimates feed into cost and time forecasts, helping you plan resources, set budgets, and visualize expected progress from the very beginning.

2. Tracking Execution Progress
Once your project is underway, you can track the number of executed tests daily. The app provides real-time reports showing counts and percentages of completed versus pending work. This ensures you can compare actual progress against your forecast at any point.

3. Daily Tracking and Reporting
With the Timesheet and reporting features, your team can log work every day. Reports show actual work versus estimates and forecasts, broken down by project, epic, or user. This allows continuous monitoring of execution and timely adjustments if progress deviates from the forecast.

4. Integration and Automation
Integration with Tempo and Jira worklogs ensures seamless time tracking. API access allows exporting data for further analysis or visualization in tools like PowerBI or EazyBI, supporting more advanced forecast tracking and reporting.

Time & Cost Tracker is a full all-in-one solution for project estimation, execution tracking, and ongoing forecast management.

If you have any questions or want to try it out, here are the links to the demo and trial version. The app is completely free for teams up to 10 users.

Hi @Rajesh Mohanrao --CNTR , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post.

What you are describing is like trying to replicate the time tracking as it exists in Jira, but with tests.

I have understood you would like to indicate an Original Estimate (as in a number of tests) and then as the Tests are executed, for that number to be consumed. This is how logging work in a Jira work item functions. 

I don't know that you will be able to replicate this functionality but you could used time estimates instead. So, you could estimate, I want 2 weeks worth of testing to be completed, and then when people are testing, they should log hours in that that work item until the 2 weeks are consumed.

Are you using an app / plugin for testing? Zephyr, for example, has some reports available that you might be able to use. Xray, I'm sure also has some reports.

What do you think?
