Xray for Jira Server is a product that has been available in the Atlassian Marketplace since 2014.
Xray for Jira Cloud is an offshoot of the highly successful Xray for Jira Server. While there is great similiarity between them, there are a few subtle differences between the two versions due to the way Jira Cloud works.
These are, in fact, two different products with distinct roadmaps and different release cycles. With that said, our aim is to make Xray for Jira Cloud as close to Xray for Jira Server as possible, and improve it where possible.
