The Xray team is proud to announce the release of Xray 6.5.0.
This version features Dynamic Test Plans, an improved way to define a Test Plan by defining a saved filter as the source of Tests for the Test Plan. This way, all Tests on the filter will be added automatically into the Test Plan.

Dynamic Test Plans
This highly requested Xray Enterprise feature allows users to create and keep their test plans updated seamlessly.
Configure Test Plan with Saved Filter
One of the features of a Test Plan is that it allows you to add tests in different ways. In addition to being able to add tests to the Test Plan explicitly, you can now use a filter and define a custom JQL depending on your needs so that tests will appear automatically on the Test Plan. A filter is a predefined set of criteria that selects tests based on certain attributes, such as status, priority, assignee, or label. A custom JQL query language lets you write more complex and flexible conditions to select tests based on any field or property. Using a filter or a custom JQL saves time and effort in adding tests to the Test Plan and ensures that your Test Plan is always up-to-date with the latest changes in your test cases.
