How to Use the Xray (Test Management) MCP in Windsurf

Q: How can Xray (Test Management) assist with test plan discovery using Windsurf?

Windsurf uses listtestplans to pull every available test plan. It gives you a structured list of all testing efforts configured in your project, letting the agent know what scope it needs to operate within.

Q: Can Windsurf use Xray (Test Management) to find individual test runs?

Yes. You first run listtestexecutions to get a list of all records. Then, by selecting the right ID, you can use getindividualtestruns to pull up the specific instance data for that single test.

Q: Does Xray (Test Management) support configuration retrieval in Windsurf?

Absolutely. The getxraysettings tool pulls your entire Xray project configuration, including field mappings and global settings. This is crucial for ensuring the agent understands how the data is structured.

Q: If I need to check a specific test's full details with Xray (Test Management) using Windsurf?

You run gettestdetails providing the unique ID for the test case. It pulls comprehensive information—everything about that single test, including its expected outcomes and prerequisites.

Perplexity

Discover all test cases in one go.

The `list_xray_tests` tool pulls every test case defined in your Xray project. This lets you quickly map out what's covered by QA, so you don't have to manually check multiple endpoints. You can then use `get_test_details` on any of those listed tests to see the full specification—the pre-conditions and expected results—without needing dozens of prompts.

Track test plan status automatically.

To get an overview, start with `list_test_plans`, which shows you every formal testing effort set up in Xray. Knowing the scope is step one. After that, `get_test_plan_details` drills down into a specific plan. You see exactly which tests are included and when they were meant to run, letting Cascade figure out if anything's missing.

See test runs across the entire project.

Need to know what happened in QA? The `list_test_executions` tool compiles a list of every test execution record. This gives you the big picture quickly. From that list, if you see an interesting run ID, use `get_execution_details`. It pulls all the granular results for that specific attempt, letting your agent confirm exactly which steps passed and which ones failed.
