The issue picker dialog used to associate the different Xray issue types(e.g. add Tests to a Test Execution) as been revamped to provide a better user experience. Very handy improvements were also implemented, some of which enabling Risk Based Testing by providing capabilities such as sorting and filter customization.

This dialog is now divided into three tabs:

• Select, allows users to select issues directly from their history search (issues that have been accessed recently) 
• Search, allows users to search for issues using Jira and Xray custom filters
• JQL, using JQL, users can query issues in Jira

Configurable filters

You can now add any filters available in Jira to filter issues. Some default filters are provided by default. Additional filters can be configured just by adding new filters from any available filter in Jira as well as internal Xray filters.

Configurable and Sortable Columns

The results table now provides the ability for users to configure which columns they want to see, as well as sorting the table using any visible column. T

Sort

It is now possible to sort the Test Runs table within a Test Execution.

As a result of being able to sort the table, the drag-n-drop rerank operation might be disabled.

Users can only rerank Test Runs using drag-n-drop if the table is sorted by the original "rank" in ascending direction. Otherwise, the drag-n-drop option to rerank will be disabled.

Rerank

Besides adding the ability to sort Test Runs, it is now possible to rerank all Test Runs based on the current sort applied in the table. A button will appear on the datatable actions bar whenever the current sort applied is different from the default (based on the rank column, ASC). 

Clicking on the "Apply Rank" button, will apply the current sort as the new rank for the Test Runs.

This feature can be used in conjunction with the table sort above to change the default rank for all Test Runs, perhaps based on a specific field on the Test cases (e.g. Risk, Priority, Components).

If you're assigning individual Test Runs within Test Execution issues, then you can find this feature very handy. 

Starting from this version, it is now possible to assign Test Runs based on any user type field present on the Test cases.

For instance, you'll be able to assign Test Runs to the Test issue assignee. This allows users that normally execute a specific Test case (that are assigned to the Test case), to be the default assignee on Test Runs within a Test Execution just be choosing the option Test Assignee.

This option is available when:

• Assigning individual Test Runs
• Bulk assigning Test Runs
• Adding Tests to the Test Execution (within the Xray issue picker dialog)

Do you need to share an Xray built-in report with a friend and he can't seem to replicate exactly the same parameters, therefor getting different results?

Worry no more. Now you can share directly the report that you are seeing because the parameters are now present on the URL.

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.
