Test Parameterization for automated tests

Maximise your coverage with test parameterization

Testers frequently have multiple data sets for 1 test but creating individual tests for each data set takes time and effort. With data-driven testing, you can keep data separate from tests and execute different combinations of test data to generate results efficiently. 

You can quickly define a large number of tests with different output values and reuse your data sets. Data-driven testing increases your coverage, eliminates repetitive tests, and most importantly saves significant time on test execution. 

Benefits of data-driven testing and test parameterization

  • Tests are easier to understand, maintain and manage.
  • Execute the same test several times with different inputs which reduces test cases you have to create.
  • Reduces manual effort on execution.
  • Time efficient, saving time on creating repetitive test cases.
  • Better organization of tests and results.
  • Reduces duplicate and redundant testing.


Xray Cloud now added parameterized tests feature to the automated tests, that executes the same test with different input values, multiple times, without ever having to clone or replicate it.

With this feature, you can minimise repetitive test cases, save time on execution and increase your test coverage.

Time Tracking

Time Tracking is an important test management feature, as it helps testing teams track output and forecast future test plans.

To help track test execution time, a test run contains timestamps that automatically log the start and finish date. Users were previously able to choose to change the start date manually, but they could not stop and resume the execution as needed.

This prevented the total time spent on a given test run from reflecting the actual time spent by the user executing the entire test. 


With this new Time Tracking feature, our users can now pause and resume test execution directly on the Test Run screen, providing greater flexibility and reliability over the time tracking process. Learn more here.


Just one more, yet important, thing...

Documentation is always important, and sometimes you may miss it.

This time we added some articles showing how to take advantage of Jira built-in automation capabilities. Examples include the integration with the popular MS Teams and Slack communication tools to share test results; but there's more!

We also included further tutorials to show how to migrate from other test management tools, to foster adoption of Xray in your teams. Lastly Lastly, we consolidated helpful tips for facilitating compliance with our suite of tools using an e-commerce platform as an exercise to talk about standards, guidelines, key risks, and mitigation strategies. 


Here's a summary of all the relevant articles that we've added and updated recently:
