Migrating from Xray: What to consider
Choosing the right tool.
When migrating away from Xray for Jira, choosing the right tool is crucial to ensure a smooth transition. First, identify your
requirements to ensure the new tool meets your business needs and testing workflows. Consider compatibility, making sure the new
tool integrates well with your existing systems, and that it still connects to Jira so you keep the link between your tests and
your work items.
Another key consideration is data mapping. Evaluate whether all your existing data can be transferred – custom fields,
formatting, images, attachments and the links from your tests to Jira requirements and defects. Plan for any necessary data
transformations to preserve data integrity and continuity.
Why an importer beats a manual export.
Exporting test cases from Xray by hand is time-consuming and error-prone, and typically loses formatting, images and attachments
along the way. Testiny's importer reads directly from your Xray for Jira instance – on Jira Cloud as well as Jira Data
Center/Server – so test cases are transferred completely, including custom field values, text formatting, images, attachments
and links to Jira work items. This comprehensive transfer capability saves significant time and effort.
Migrating from Xray for Jira to Testiny?
- Import from Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center/Server.
- Testiny's importer connects to your Xray for Jira instance – whether you run Jira Cloud or Jira Data Center/Server – so you can bring your existing test cases into Testiny without cumbersome manual exports.
- Migrate custom fields, formatting, images and attachments.
- Your test cases are transferred completely, including custom field values, text formatting, embedded images and attachments – keeping every test case intact after the move.
- Keep your links to work items.
- Links from Xray test cases to Jira work items such as requirements and defects are preserved, so you keep full traceability between your tests and their related issues in Testiny.
Best practices for migrating from Xray
Start early.
Begin the migration process early to have enough time to thoroughly test it. Allow sufficient time to fix any problems that occur
during the migration, and to validate and verify the transferred data.
Choose a tool where the migration process is as painless as possible.
The more you can migrate automatically, the easier and faster the process will be, ultimately saving you money. A cumbersome
process that requires manually transferring data can be very time-consuming, expensive, and error-prone.
Take the opportunity and clean up some old data.
Remove users who should no longer have access, delete attachments and images that are no longer needed, and archive or delete
test cases that are no longer relevant.
Don't forget internal documentation and links.
Update links that reference your old Xray setup and ensure all internal documentation reflects the move to the new tool.
