However, Xray is somehow limited on the management capabilites of Test Environments; they are created similar to labels and they're available to all your Jira projects. You may require more advanced management capabilities for your Test Environments. Fortunately, there is Apwide Golive (previously known as "Apwide Test Environment Manager") which complements Xray built-in features, allowing you to fully manage Test Environments, their availability amongst other.
With Apwide GoliveOn Xray screens, the QA team knows as soon as an Environment becomes unstable or when the wrong version of an application is deployed. Efficiency increases with clickable links to access the Environments and the possibility to book dedicated Environments for test campaigns.
Test Executions and Test Plans can be are now planned on a Timeline with drag-and-drop and Xray issues dates are automatically updated. Jira filters can be used to obtain a real-time list of bugs that can be tested on a specific environment, taking into consideration the deployed version and the environment status. You can also easily understand how tests and requirements are faring on specific target environments.

It's also possible to manage Test Plans planning dates using this app, as long as you also include the Test Environments custom field in the screens associated with Test Plan issues. You need to update the "Test Environments" custom field in Jira's "Custom Fields" administration section, so that the applicable contexts will also include the Test Plan issue type.
