Ability to call an existing Test from the step of another Test and thus use tests as reusable building blocks for the composition of more complex testing scenarios.
The called test can be executed independently or be used as a step of a broader test (e.g. "login as the admin user").

Ability to define variables in the Test specification (e.g. the steps) that can be replaced by values inherited from different sources (a calling test for example). In that scenario, the called test is used as a parameterized template (e.g. "login as the specified user").

Ability to perform data-driven testing (i.e. execute the same test against multiple parameters, for different combinations of data).
Data-driven testing will be implemented using the foundations of test parameterization.
Data may be defined at multiple levels including:
the test level (default values)
the caller test
the Test Plan
the Test Execution
Data might also be imported from external sources (like CSV files).

Support Jira Issue Archiving

Jira Datacenter supports archiving of issues and projects since v8.1. By archiving issues, Jira will remove them from the indexes. The archived issues will still be accessible in read-only mode, however, they will not appear in Jira searches. This enhances Jira performance because Jira stores less data.
The goal of this feature is to support issue archiving so that Xray issues can be archived without some of the undesirable side effects (described here). A good use case for archiving Xray issues is to archive old Test Executions, especially if continuous integration processes are used. These can quickly create many Test Execution issues while importing new execution results into Xray on a daily basis. These issues are good candidates to be archived.
