This highly requested Xray Enterprise feature allows users to create and manage multiple versions of the same test case, to easily track and revert changes in your test specification.

Why Test case versioning?

Test cases are not static. They evolve when requirements change, or improvements are made to the application under test. Although Xray logs test specification changes in the Jira history, it is not easy to revert to a specific test case version. With Test case versioning, you can now:

• Create a new version of a test case with a single click
• Compare different versions of a test case and see what has changed
• Restore a previous version of a test case if needed
• Assign a test case version to a test execution or a test plan
• Track the test execution results for each test case version
• Mark specific milestones of the Test with versions
• Have multiple active versions simultaneously,  even of different Test Types, as you can execute them all independently.

How does Test case versioning work?

Test case versioning works in the same way as versioning of other issue types in Jira. Since Xray's Tests are Jira issues, we follow the same approach so your users work in the same manner they already do.

To create a new version of a test case, you just need to click on the "Create new version" button on the test issue screen. 

Test case versioning is a powerful feature that can help you manage your test specification more efficiently and effectively. It is available for Xray Enterprise customers only.
