Sergio,

 Is it possible to turn off or disable the Xray Test Repository?

Hi @Rawan Bardini ,

currently no. It is globally available.

@Rawan Bardini ,  would you be interested on disabling this on a per-project basis or globally? Can you explain a bit better your need/concerns?

[Rawan Bardini]

Thanks Sergio! We are discussing the possibility of disabling globally as we prefer teams are using Test Sets, although not something we are stuck on, just investigating. :)

Hi @Rawan Bardini just wondering if everything went fine and what you ended up for choosing, in terms of approach :)

[Rawan Bardini]

Hi Sergio! Thanks for the follow up! :)

We decided to definitely stick with the approach of using Test Sets over using the Test Repository. In the end we left the Test Repository available to folks to use if they like, but ultimately we will be measuring teams on their successful usage of Test Sets. So rather than limit them from using the Test Repository we instead just focused on measuring the usage of Test Sets.

great :)
