Xray v3.4 adds a set of features that enable the basics of Risk-Based Testing (RBT); more about these enabling features ahead.
As always, we made it flexible enough so you can implement RBT the way you want. You Thus, uou may need to setup some custom fields related with RBT: for that, you may use Jira built-in capabilities or use a customization app to help you out. If you're using a "compatible" Risk Management related app, you may also take advantage of it.
To make it simplesimpler, we've included detailed setup instructions in our documentation.
As part of our continuous performance improvements, we've improved several areas from reports/gadgets to functions.
The most intensive task related with calculation of coverage is now pre-calculated, which should provide quite noticeable performance improvements.
In sum, we've improved performance on:
Test Lists gadget;
Overall Requirement Coverage gadget & report;
Historical Requirement Coverage gadget & report;
requirements() and requirementsWithStatusByTestPlan() JQL functions.
Improving performance is an ongoing effort, so expect additional enhancements to come ahead.
We also made an extensive document with Usage tips to improve performance, containing setup and usage best practices; please do take a look at it.

Execution
The Overall Requirement Coverage Gadget now supports multiple projects when using a saved filter as source. The Gadget configuration parameters have also been simplified.
When importing Gherkin feature files using Xray REST API, the descriptions on features will be also imported to the Requirement issue description.
Only the Test Run assignee can execute the Test Run. This feature can be enabled/disabled on Xray configuration.
