Archiving Old Test Runs (smile)

By archiving Test Runs, you can hide them in Xray while also preserving the data it contains in case you need it later. It’s good practice to archive Older Test Runs, so that they don’t clutter Xray views.

This is especially useful when importing automated test results into Xray since the number of Test Runs can increase very fast and normally you only care about the latest results for these tests.

The Archiving is done automatically by Xray, but you can also archive Test Runs manually. A threshold for archiving Test Runs can be configured to a value between 1 Day and 2 Years. This way, older Test Runs are eligible to be archived automatically by Xray.


Which Test Runs will be archived?

All Test Runs are eligible to be archived except the Test Runs that are affecting analysis scopes.

The latest Test Run for a specific Version or Test Plan will not be archived. The same is true for Test Runs that are affecting the latest result for a given environment. Thus, reports in Xray will still consider these Test Runs and won't be affected by the automatic archiving process.
