1 Updates
2 Summarized change in the Automation API
3 API to check Automation Progress
4 Scheduled Task UI changes

With the new and upcoming releases of QMetry, we continue to add exciting and useful new features that improve usability. The new features and improvements being added to QMetry also necessitate changes in the APIs. This page enlists changes in the Automation API and an important new API that will be updated from v8.10.0 scheduled to be released on 12th March 2022 for all the cloud customers. The purpose of this document is to help integration teams keep their code updated and current with the API changes/updates to the existing APIs. In case you do not use the Automation API to import results, these changes can be safely ignored.

Updates

Introduced a new parameter is_matching_required in Automation API request that allows updating execution status on a linked test case version or latest version by matching test case keys in the result file instead of creating a new version even if the test summary and steps do not match.
New test suites can be created in a specified folder while importing automated test results using the tsFolderPath parameter in the Automation API request.
The parameters id, buildID, platformID, testsuiteId, and entityURL will no longer be available directly in the automation API response. The automation API response will now provide a requestId parameter that will be used by a new follow up API to return
A follow-up API to get automation progress status using the requestId parameter will return the test suite key and import status.
