QMetry Automation Studio v1.52.3

Release Date - 14th February 2022

Deprecated Feature

  • Enabled source code view by default for easier editing of the properties and locator files and deprecated the tabular view.

QMetry Automation Studio v1.52.2

Release Date - 11th February 2022

Improvements

  • Improved test recorder to record and execute test steps for flutter mobile native applications (Android & iOS) for handling dynamic element identification for input fields.
  • Improved auto code generation feature for CI/CD executions from test recorder to enable executing test steps for input fields on flutter mobile native applications (Android & iOS).

QMetry Automation Studio v1.52.1

Release Date - 18th January 2022

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the generation of the test recorder reports for test cases executed using test data provided through an external source like Excel/CSV.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented auto-complete/selection of a command on the test recorder screen using a Tab or an Enter key. 
  • Fixed a bug that prevented recording the default locator strategy for an element in a correct order priority for a non SFDC project. 

QMetry Automation Studio v1.52.0

Release Date - 29th December 2021

Improvements

  • Web automation for the salesforce platform for Java is extended for Cucumber, TestNG and JUnit test methodologies.
  • Better UI performance – QAS is upgraded on Angular framework v12.x.

End of Support for Internet Explorer 

  • We are retiring IE support for QAS with v1.52.0. End of support means we are deprecating recording and execution on IE, we will not fix bugs that are specific to IE and new features will not be supported for IE. QMetry will continue to provide support on Edge. We are expecting all of our customers using IE to shift to Edge or Chrome/Firefox. 
  • In 2015, Microsoft released Edge as the browser to supersede Internet Explorer (IE). To allow us to continue to take advantage of modern web standards to deliver improved functionality and the best possible user experience across all of our products, we have decided to end support for IE. 
  • Microsoft announced that the IE 11 desktop application will be retired and go out of support on June 15, 2022, which means along with that Microsoft web driver support for IE web driver support will also be deprecated.

QAS Explorer:

  • Introducing an all-new QAS Explorer view that displays all Test suites, Test cases, Repository, Test Data, Integration, Test Reports, and Project Settings. 
  • QAS Explorer allows users to create a test case with manual steps.


Improvements to Test Recorder and Test Execution:

  • Execute single/multiple test suites on different platforms with remote or local capabilities in the following execution modes : 
    • Multiple: Test cases are executed sequentially in unique sessions.
    • Multiple Parallel: Execute test cases parallelly in separate sessions.
    • Single: All test cases are executed sequentially in a single session. 
    • Multiple Session by Platform: Test cases are executed sequentially in unique sessions on each platform (each test case in a different session).

Improvements to Self-Healing: 

  • Auto repair pre-recorded test cases during execution using self-healing option for Android and iOS platforms. During test execution, if a locator at the test step is undetected by its default locator value, it will be replaced by the correct locator value using other locator strategies without any manual intervention from the tester. The execution will continue as if no failures have happened and save testers significant time in executing and updating test cases manually.
  • Self-healing Insights now logs the changes made by auto-correction of elements or objects in test steps. 


Improvements to Create Project Workflow:

  • Choose a framework as per your preferred BDD or TDD test methodology.
