Custom Case Fields Indexing lets Cloud administrators accelerate the filters and reports release owners depend on, without indexing every field in the instance. In TestRail 10.6.1, teams can select up to five high-value custom case fields for indexing, helping reduce delays when reviewing release readiness across large test inventories.
Performance that protects release schedules
Large test estates often create delivery risk in ordinary administrative work: creating runs, assigning ownership, updating cases, and generating approval evidence. This release targets those pressure points with measured performance and reliability improvements.
- Test case pages load about 80% faster for AI-enabled projects with more than 11,000 cases.
- API requests against archived runs with many custom fields are 35–50% faster.
- Run creation now completes reliably for projects containing 25–28 million tests, avoiding prior out-of-memory failures.
- Bulk assignment on runs with more than 30,000 tests now completes without prior timeout and failure patterns.
- PDF reports now generate successfully for plans containing more than 1,000 runs.
For release leadership, these changes reduce the chance that test administration becomes the limiting factor in a deployment decision. Less time waiting on test operations.
Govern custom-field indexing deliberately
Custom fields are commonly used to represent regulatory classifications, product areas, risk levels, test ownership, milestones, and environment-specific attributes. As data volumes increase, filtering and reporting on those fields can become slow enough to discourage evidence-based reviews.
