Jira cloud jql for identifying tests in a test execution (to replace testExecutionTests)

Bobby Reeves

September 19, 2023

My organization is migrating from Jira server with the Xray add-on to Jira cloud with Xray. In doing so, we are losing the ability to use certain Xray functions on the cloud so we are having to rewrite queries using these functions. 

To identify test cases that have been added to a test execution, we would use the following query using the Xray function:

  • issue in testExecutionTests(key ID of test execution or “filter name”)

This will not work on the cloud. 

Is there a suitable jql substitution to use on the cloud that will return test cases of a test execution(s)? 

I have already contacted Xray support who replied with "most of the JQL functions are not available to our Jira Cloud Add-on. This happens because Jira Cloud doesn't provide us with a mechanism to implement these custom fields and functions safely".

Our migration PM has also reached out to our Atlassian vendor for guidance. No answer yet.

@Bobby Reeves did you manage to find a solution for this? We also migrated to the cloud and this is a major issue for us

Hi, we have the exact same issue. Any help with alternative JQL would be highly appreciated.
