Summary: New Feature & Bug Fix

New Feature

QMetry Intelligence Enhancements (Currently in BETA)
Experience the future of testing today, powered by QMetry's AI-enabled product search!

• As an organization expands, it accumulates a vast repository of institutional knowledge and project-related information stored within various documents. To ensure the successful execution of critical projects, it becomes vital to empower testing teams with effortless access to information in project-specific documentation that fosters on-the-go learning, thereby enhancing the efficiency of their testing processes. QMetry has introduced an innovative AI-powered product search feature, revolutionizing testers' ability to inquire and discover answers within their project documents, all tailored to meet their specific testing requirements. QMetry accomplishes this by enabling administrators to upload project-specific documents in multiple formats such as PDFs, Confluence spaces, and web URLs. These documents are then utilized by QI to locate the precise answers, providing a powerful tool for testers.

• Users can also utilize QMetry's inbuilt product search to ask questions about QMetry product features and receive real-time answers from the product user guide. The revolutionary QMetry Intelligence (QI) search explains features in a summarized format, offers step-by-step guidance for how-to questions, provides best practices from the extensive knowledge base, and expertly navigates troubleshooting challenges.

• To activate the QI search feature for QMetry users, the Jira administrator needs to enable it for the Jira instance from the QTM4J app global settings.

Bug Fix

• Fixed a bug that prevented the copied test case and test cycle folder links from appearing as hyperlinks when used in fields such as description, pre-condition, and steps.
