How does Xray handle "versioning" of Test cases

Versioning of Tests work works in the same way as versioning of other issue types in Jira. Since Xray's Tests are Jira issues, we follow the same approach so your users work in the same manner they already do.

...

  • Whenever you schedule a Test for execution in a Test Execution, Xray creates an instance of the Test that we call Test Run. That Test Run contains the "version"/revision of the Test specification at that moment.
  • You can go to an already recorded Test Run and reset the specification to the last/actual specification on the Test issue. Or, you can merge it, which means that only changed steps will be updated and the other step results are not changed. More info can be found in on the Execute Tests page.  
  • Normally, you work with the last "version"/revison revision of the Test (as you do for a user story, etc.). However, if you really want to manage different versions of Tests at the same time (assuming that they're actually different), you can create different Tests, one per version.
