The Xray team is proud to announce the release of Xray 3.6.0.

The main goal for this version is to improve the Requirement issue web panel by providing a full data table with pagination, search and sort capabilities.

Also, now there is now a dedicated "Actual Results" field on the manual Test Step results. The actual results field also supports embedding images.

Another useful feature can be found on the Test Plan issue. Users can now use the new filter component with the ability to use any Jira field for filtering and also , as well as JQL.

As part of our continuous improvement, more performance enhancements have also been included in this version.

Discover the key features below. (smile)

titleUpgrading from versions < 3.2.x

If you are upgrading from a version lower than 3.2, this implies that an upgrade task will run to pre-calculate historical data. This action is a one time action and it will run in the background so that Xray is still available during the upgrade. A  re-index operation index operation of your Jira instance is required so that the internal data becomes searchable and usable by Xray.

Note
Please be aware that this upgrade task will run immediately after updating Xray. As this operation can take some time and use a considerable amount of server resources, we suggest scheduling the upgrade of Xray outside of business hours. It is always possible to cancel the recalculation operation in the Xray configuration section → Custom Fields → Maintenance.

Test Coverage data table enhancements


You can now use a full-featured data table to better analyze the Test Coverage of a requirement issue. This data table provides:

  • pagination

  • filtering

  • sorting

Other useful features have also been added in this view:

  • Deleting Test links directly from the data table. The bulk delete operation is also available.

  • Creating Test (or Test Set) links using the Xray issue picker dialogdialogue. This dialog dialogue provides improved search capabilities for Tests and Test Sets.

  • Checking the latest Test Runs affecting the status for each Test. You can now pinpoint the exact executions that are being considered for Test Status and consequently the Test Coverage for a Requirement.
