Regardless of whether you took part in the webinar live or not, you can directly access all webinar documents here:

The aim of the webinar was to explain the new Xray features for Server/ Data Center and the Atlassian Cloud:

• Test case parameterization
• Modular test design
• Document Generator
• Test automation features

as well as further updates and a look at the Xray roadmap were presented by Pascal Stiefel and Michael Vils.

Here are the most important take-outs from this webinar:

1. The benefits of parameterization test case

• The maintenance costs for testware can be significantly reduced.
• The equivalence class tests can be easily specified, which increases test coverage with the same number of test cases.
• Test data management can be mapped with dependencies.
• Test data combinations are created automatically (all combinations)

Our tip: We recommend that you handle “test environment dependent” data carefully. More about this in the Xray documentation.

2. The benefits of modular test design

• Maintenance costs for test goods and redundant costs for process descriptions can be reduced.

Our tip: Use modular test design in combination with the parameterization described above.

3. The benefits of Document Generator

• Customized reports can be created very easily.
• The document generator is now also available in Agile Boards, Test Repository All, and Orphans.

Our tip: Good to know is that the document generator can be deactivated by the admin. In addition, all functionality for all issue types can be used with the app Xporter be used.
