Software testing at scale comes with unique challenges. Large organizations manage thousands of test cases across multiple projects, often under strict compliance standards and within fast-moving CI/CD pipelines. Until recently, Xray Enterprise existed as an add-on to the main Xray Test Management for Jira app, requiring customers to install and manage both solutions. This created confusion around licensing and setup, and made it harder for teams to understand what they were really getting.
We took it a step further and simplified your test management solution even more. Xray Enterprise is a fully standalone app, available for both Cloud and Data Center. It includes every feature from the Standard and Advanced editions of Xray Test Management for Jira, while adding powerful enterprise-only capabilities designed for organizations that need to scale efficiently and securely.
By separating Enterprise into its own product, Xray has simplified the customer journey. Enterprise teams now have one app, one license, and one clear value proposition. There’s no need to juggle editions or worry about overlapping licenses — you simply install Xray Enterprise and get access to the full suite of enterprise-grade testing features.
Key Features of Xray Enterprise
Xray Enterprise is built for scale. It covers everything available in the Standard and Advanced editions — from manual and automated test management, BDD support, reporting dashboards, and CI/CD integrations — and layers on features that make a real difference for enterprise operations.
Here’s what makes Xray Enterprise stand out:
AI Test Model Generation
Powering the Test Case Designer, AI Test Model Generation turns requirements into visual system models within seconds. This gives QA teams a deeper understanding of system behavior, helps uncover coverage gaps early, and ensures more robust test strategies. Currently available in closed beta, this capability shows how Xray Enterprise continues to innovate with AI to support large-scale testing.
Test Case Versioning
With Test Case Versioning you can keep track of evolving test cases while maintaining historical records for compliance and auditability. Perfect for regulated industries where change logs and traceability are mandatory.
Dynamic Test Plans
Automate the process of keeping test plans up to date with Dynamic Test Plans. Using Jira filters (JQL), test plans update automatically as new tests are created, saving time and ensuring accuracy in large, fast-moving projects.
Remote Jobs Trigger
Trigger and manage automation jobs directly from Jira. Remote Jobs Trigger deepens the connection between development and QA pipelines, giving enterprise teams tighter control over CI/CD workflows.
Unlimited Storage
Attach as many files as you need without worrying about caps. For organizations handling complex test artifacts, unlimited storage ensures you never have to clean up just to make room for new data.
High API Rate Limits (200 RPM)
Handle heavy automation integrations at speed. For enterprises with multiple pipelines and test frameworks, higher throughput keeps processes running smoothly.
Enterprise Support
Get 24/7 award-winning support with priority queues. Enterprise customers also benefit from twice-yearly Xray Health Checks, ensuring the app is always optimized for performance, configuration, and scale.
Together, these features ensure that teams have the power, flexibility, and reliability required to run testing at global scale.
Why Choose Xray Enterprise for Your Organization
Not every team needs enterprise-level features — but for those who do, the difference is significant. Xray Enterprise is designed specifically for organizations that demand reliability, compliance, and automation at scale.
Here’s why you might choose it:
- Simplified licensing and setup
With Enterprise as a standalone app, there’s no need to install multiple apps or manage overlapping licenses. Everything is in one place, reducing administrative overhead and simplifying renewals.
- Enterprise-grade scalability
Whether you’re running thousands of automated tests per day or managing multiple global projects, Xray Enterprise is built to handle volume without slowing down. Unlimited storage and the highest API thresholds give teams confidence to grow without constraints.
- Compliance and governance
In industries like finance, healthcare, or government, compliance isn’t optional. Xray Enterprise supports advanced traceability, test case versioning, and data residency across key regions (US, EU, DE, AU) to meet strict regulatory standards.
- Dedicated enterprise support
With 24/7 in-app chat and faster SLAs, you’re never left waiting for answers. Priority queues ensure your requests are handled first, and Health Checks provide proactive guidance to keep your testing environment in top shape.
For growing organizations, these benefits translate into real operational efficiency and peace of mind.
Migrating and Upgrading to Xray Enterprise
Moving to Xray Enterprise is straightforward. If you’re already using Xray Test Management for Jira, upgrading to Enterprise is simply a matter of generating a new license. Your existing data — from test cases to execution histories — remains intact, so there’s no migration risk or downtime.
Some key things to know:
- From Standard/Advanced to Enterprise: The transition is seamless. You keep all existing data, and Enterprise-only features become available immediately once your license is active.
- From Data Center to Cloud Enterprise: The process follows the same Jira Cloud Migration Assistant flow as before. For DC customers, Xray Enterprise requires version 2.0 or newer.
- Downgrading from Enterprise: No data is lost. Features like Test Case Versions and Dynamic Test Plans remain stored in the database, but functionality is locked until you upgrade again.
- Trials: Enterprise comes with a 30-day trial period, extendable through Xray advocates. During the trial, all Enterprise features and limits are fully available.
This flexible approach means you can test Enterprise risk-free, upgrade when ready, and even downgrade without fear of losing work.
How Xray Enterprise Compares to Other Test Management Solutions
Many test management vendors in the Atlassian ecosystem have attempted to serve enterprise customers by splitting their products into separate tools — sometimes even outside Jira entirely. While this can provide advanced features, it often forces teams into disruptive migrations, fragmented user experiences, and inconsistent workflows.
Xray Enterprise takes a different approach. It is:
- Natively integrated with Jira – all test management happens inside the same environment your teams already use. No need to jump between platforms.
- Consistent across tiers – whether you start on Standard, move to Advanced, or scale up to Enterprise, the user experience stays familiar.
- Scalable without disruption – upgrades unlock new features without forcing data migration or process changes.
- Feature-rich at the top tier – Dynamic Test Plans, Test Case Versioning, and unlimited storage give Enterprise teams what they truly need, without overwhelming smaller organizations.
This clarity and scalability set Xray apart. Teams don’t have to choose between “too little” and “too much.” Instead, they get the right level of features at the right stage — and Xray Enterprise when they’re ready to run testing at global scale.
Scaling with Confidence Through Xray Enterprise
With the release of Xray Enterprise as a standalone app, large organizations finally have a solution designed just for them. From unlimited storage and advanced automation triggers to 24/7 priority support and compliance-ready traceability, Enterprise brings the power and reliability that global QA teams need.
Unlike other tools that disrupt workflows or create licensing complexity, Xray Enterprise is simple: one app, one license, all the features required for enterprise-scale test management inside Jira.
Whether you’re operating in a highly regulated industry, running thousands of automated tests every day, or managing distributed QA teams worldwide, Xray Enterprise is built to grow with you.
