Overview
Test Specification includes the following concepts: Tests, Preconditions, TestSets, TestPlans, TestExecutions. These are, in general, Jira issues with the corresponding IssueType. Thus, they can contain all Jira fields, including custom fields.
Test Execution includes TestRuns. TestRun contains a snapshot of the test data at its execution time (as the test specification may change in the future).
The Xray plugin adds 3 custom fields: StartDate, EndDate, Revision.
They are mostly used during TestExecution and mean when to start executing tests and documentation version. Also, in the tests context, such standard Jira fields as Summary, Description, Assignee, FixVersions, Components, issue links, etc. These fields may be of interest for reports and dashboards, and are recommended to be included into the datasource. They can be found here:
