TestRail 8.0.0.1089 Server

Please note that our recommended upgrade path is via TestRail 7.5 at present. If you’re still running TestRail 7.0 or below, you should upgrade to 7.5 first, and follow-up with an upgrade to 8.0. 

Hosted customers will receive the TestRail 8.0 code on their preferred release track.

Catchup with TestRail 7.6, 7.7, 7.8 Cloud Features 

Test parameterization

It’s now even easier to complete your work in less time with the introduction of test parameterization for TestRail Enterprise customers. Test parameterization gives you the ability to run the same test case with multiple inputs so that you can verify multiple scenarios without having to duplicate that test case. With test parameterization, you can achieve faster test case design, increased test coverage, and reduced test case maintenance. Learn more about test parameterization here.

Jira integration improvements

Users on all TestRail plans can now streamline workflows through an improved Jira integration that allows all customers to edit Jira issues directly from within TestRail, link test plans and milestones to Jira issues, and provide increased visibility into associated TestRail data from within Jira. You can learn more about the bidirectional integration here.

New BDD template

You can now design and execute BDD scenarios natively in TestRail. Import and export feature files and use Gherkin keywords to give structure to your BDD testing activities in TestRail. For more details, check out the full BDD documentation here.

Customizable charts

Customizable charts give you the power to get the information you need more quickly, directly from the Dashboard and Project Overview pages. View and explore data through cross-project reporting as well as the ability to filter and refine chart information. Learn how to customize and refine your charts here.

Ignore test results in reporting

Administrators can now configure an additional setting on your test statuses to exclude results from reporting. Using a custom status that is set to ignore test results helps ensure all information in your charts and reports is relevant to the current situation even if your scope of testing changes or cases are not yet ready for testing. Learn how to ignore test results in reporting here.

Property Distribution customizable stacking

You can now generate more detailed Property Distribution reports through the ability to customize your chart grouping. A second attribute can be selected so that you can stack test cases by a second attribute such as priority, automation type, created by, and more. Learn more about customizable stacking in the Property Distribution reports here.

Deprecations

Once we’ve fully rolled out the TestRail 8.0 release, we won’t be supporting versions of TestRai Serverl older than 7.0.

New Branding

We’ve got some more exciting news… New TestRail branding! 🎉

TestRail 8.0 includes the new TestRail logo and some other minor UX adjustments to reflect the branding changes coming to a TestRail website near you.

FAQ’s

I’m still using TestRail 7.0.2 (or lower); should I update directly to TestRail 8.0?

- We strongly recommend updating to each major TestRail version before upgrading to TestRail 8.0, due to the various database changes introduced along the way. 

I’m upgrading from 7.0.2 (or lower) and need to migrate my attachments during the upgrade. At what point should I run the migration script and how?

- The migration script should be executed after the TestRail 8.0 upgrade has been carried out. 

Are there any known issues with the release version currently?

- Attempting to install in a CentOS 7.5.2009 environment appears to be problematic for some customers. The issue is currently under investigation.
