Frequently Asked Questions: Klority vs Xray

Everything you need to know. Click a question to expand the answer.

Why do teams switch from Xray to Klority?

The primary complaint with Xray is Jira bloat. Every test case is created as a Jira ticket, which floods search results, slows down board loading, and clutters backlogs. Klority separates test design from task tracking while maintaining effortless 1-click bug linking.

Can developers access QA test cases without an extra fee?

Yes. In Klority, every team member on the workspace has complete visibility into test suites, execution cycles, and test evidence for just $2/user/month.

Can we migrate test cases from Xray to Klority?

Yes. Export your Xray test specifications to CSV and use Klority's import wizard to preserve your test hierarchies, step actions, and expected results in minutes.
