Add A Test Type

[Joe Strain]

Two questions:

1.

It is possible to add another test type  JIRA XRAY  issuetype of Test .

We want to add a type has similar layout as the Manual, yet call it automated.

We do not use cucumber but we do user automated test and want to categorize our test in this testType

2. Is it possible to set the Issue Test type via the API.

Hi Joe,

Sorry but those Test Types are hardcoded so it is not possible to change them.

However for automated tests you can choose Cucumber if you are using Cucumber/Gherkin tool to make the automated tests or you can use Generic for any other automated test tool.

As for the second question: Xray Test issues can be created and edited though the Jira REST API and so it is possible to set Test Type of an issue, but again it is necessary to use one of the three options available (Manual, Cucumber or Generic). The option Generic is the option to use when none of the other two fit.
