Xray Document Generator vs Xporter – Exporting Options Compared

In order to release a great product, you need a reliable test management tool. Development teams often rely on Jira to manage their issues, therefore extending Jira functionality to include test management options is a smart move. Xray is one of the best solutions to transform your instance into a powerful test management tool. It helps you monitor the testing process and provides the structure to plan, organize and report on tests.

While working with Xray, a versatile reporting solution is essential. Even though Xray offers a lot of options in this area with the integrated Document Generator and built-in export possibilities, Xpand IT also offers their Xporter app with even more features. In this article we are going to compare both options to help you choose the right approach depending on your needs.
