Early Access release track date: 03-Jul -2025
Default release track date: 9-Jul-2025
We’re excited to announce the release of TestRail 9.3.0, featuring major updates to Jira integration, a powerful new labeling system for Tests and Test Cases, enhanced reporting performance, and several user-requested improvements designed to boost productivity for your QA teams.
Enhanced Jira Integration with OAuth 2.0
Our built-in Jira integration for Defects and References now supports secure authentication via OAuth for both Jira Cloud and Jira Data Center. This simplifies the integration setup and enhances security by moving away from API keys.
- Jira OAuth integration provides a more user-friendly setup and stronger data security.
- The previous integration for Jira Server will remain available (since Jira Server does not support OAuth 2.0).
Important: All existing Jira integrations will be cleared as part of this update. Customers will need to re-configure their Instance, Project, and User-level integrations after upgrading to 9.3.0.
🏷️ New Labeling for Tests and Test Cases
Labeling replaces the need for custom multi-select fields and gives teams a more flexible, scalable way to categorize their Tests and Test Cases. With this feature, you can:
- Create and manage labels for both test cases and individual tests (within runs/plans).
- Filter, sort, and classify your work by labels - ideal for organizing by priorities, risk, product areas, or components.
- Assign labels at the test level, so the same test case can have different labels in different test runs or plans.
- Admins and Project-Level Admins now have access to a Label Management tab in each project’s Admin page for easy label control.
📊 Report Performance and Scalability
With this release, we’ve significantly improved the performance and scalability of report generation in TestRail:
- Reports now generate faster, even for larger projects with extensive data.
- This helps you get the information you need more quickly, especially valuable for managers and teams running regular, large-scale reporting.
