🌍 Data Residency (New Customers)

TestRail now introduces Data Residency support for new customers, allowing organizations to choose where their data is stored and processed.

Available regions:

• US - US East (default)
• EU - Germany
• APAC - Singapore

When creating a new trial, customers can select their preferred region. All data, including attachments, reports, logs, search indexes, backups, and processing workloads, will remain within the selected geographic location. 

🧠 Smart Archiving for Test Runs & Plans

TestRail 10.1 introduces smart closing and archiving controls designed to help teams maintain clean, performant instances as their testing activity grows.

As QA programs scale, large volumes of open and historical Test Runs and Plans can create unnecessary clutter and impact performance. This release introduces new automation capabilities that allow administrators to manage lifecycle events globally.

With automated lifecycle management, admins can:

• Automatically close inactive Test Runs and Plans after configurable periods
• Automatically archive closed items to keep projects organized and performant

🗂️ Archived Status

A new Archived status clearly marks Test Runs and Plans that have reached the end of their lifecycle. Archived items are:

• Fully locked and non-editable
• Excluded from reporting (Print Reports are still available)
• Still searchable and viewable for historical reference

Teams can continue to reuse past work by creating new runs or plans using the Re-run functionality.

💻 TestRail CLI 1.13.1

The latest version of the TestRail CLI is now available with new capabilities for teams working with BDD workflows, along with performance and maintainability improvements. You can now:

• Use new commands to work with Gherkin-based test cases and results:

  parse_cucumber
  import_gherkin
  export_gherkin

• Use the enhanced parse_junit command with the --special-parser bdd option to process BDD scenarios
• Benefit from centralized logging with structured output and improved configurability
• Execute tests with multiple case IDs in a single test execution

This release also includes the following improvements:

• Improved caching to reduce redundant API calls and enhance performance during large executions
• Internal refactoring to improve stability and maintainability
• Improved stability when a plan ID is specified and no matching cases are found

📌 Cassandra Deprecation Enforcement

Starting with TestRail 9.5 Server, Cassandra is officially deprecated and enforcement is in place.:

• Admins must first run the Cassandra deprecation script in version 9.4.1 before upgrading to 9.5.
• If the script has not been executed, the upgrade to 9.5 will be blocked and a  warning message will be displayed  during the upgrade process.
