Downgrading from Xray 3.4.x

Downgrading from Xray 3.4.x to a version less than 3.2.0 implies that you must perform a re-index afterwards. This is because from Xray 3.2.0 onwards, the content and format of what Xray indexes has changed.

Risk-Based Testing


Column

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. Thus, you may need to set up some custom fields related to RBT. For this, you may use Jira built-in capabilities or use a customization app to help you. If you're using a "compatible" Risk Management related app, you may also take advantage of it.

To make it simpler, we've included detailed setup instructions in our documentation.

Documentation is always important and sometimes you may miss it. We added a set of relevant articles to our already extensive documentation.

As this release provides a set of features that enable the basics of Risk-Based Testing, we've added a few related articles.

On another topic, many teams are eager to adopt Agile and Agile Testing, we've specifically made some dedicated content for them, giving some background information on the earlier topics and providing concrete examples so you can get started or even become more agile.

Finally, as teams grow they face additional challenges, including the demand for great performance. Performance is dependent on many different factors, starting with proper Jira setup, deployment type and also with Xray setup and usage patterns. Therefore, we created an article with a collection of setup, configuration and usage tips, to ensure you have the greatest performance on your deployment.

Here's a sum up of all the relevant articles that we've added:
