What is Requirement Status field

[Mohsen Zare]

Hey thanks for opening the question. One of my coworkers in product design team is using Xray add-on and in a Test issue she saw a field named "Requirement Status" and the value which is "\version_name\ - UNCOVERED". We are confused which what is this field and why it is uncovered because we did relate this test issue to a bug and user story.

Hi @Mohsen Zare 

Welcome to the community!

I would recommend to review with the Jira Admin if the configuration of Xray is done to the appropriate issue types. Check here.

Within the same article, there's a section for "Issue Link Type" and "Direction". If these are configured correctly, then by just linking a Test you should have a "Covered" requirement.

Best, Francisco

Hi @Mohsen Zare 

If you see \version_name\ - UNCOVERED in the Requirement Status field, it means that for the specified version, Xray does not detect any valid Tests linked to your requirement (e.g., user story or bug) using the recognized link types and supported issue types.

Double-check your issue links, the direction/type of the links, and ensure the requirement issue type is configured as a "requirement" in Xray to confirm proper test coverage.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
