Summary: New Features & Bug Fixes

New Features
Automation Enhancements

• Integrate Worksoft CTM to launch the execution of Worksoft Suites directly from within QMetry. After completion of the execution, view the test cases and their execution results in QMetry.

• Automation test result upload for the JUnit framework will now mark the Aborted and Skipped execution statutes with their matching custom execution statuses within the project. If these matching execution statuses are unavailable in the project, the upload process marks the test executions as Failed and Not Applicable, respectively.

Report Enhancements

• Export test cases linked to the test suite in PDF and Word formats for review or sharing purposes. Users can choose which test case and step fields to include in the export.

• Administrators can now control user access to the Login Summary Dashboard by utilizing newly introduced distinct permissions.

• The Test Execution Summary by Folder reports now include the Test Suite Summary columns in the drill-down view, accompanied by the Key. This enhancement enables testers to identify and distinguish between suites more effectively.

Issue Module Enhancements

• For the QMetry Inbuilt Issue Module, now associate Issues with cycles along their respective releases. This capability enables users to efficiently monitor defects not tied to a specific test case or execution. Users will need to upgrade their exploratory testing plugin to the latest version to utilize the ability to associate issues created during testing with cycles.

• Filter issues of Jira integrated projects based on custom fields when linking them to Requirements, Test Cases, and Test Executions.

Test Case and Test Execution Enhancements

This feature enables all testers to participate in test automation and also reduces the overhead of navigating between multiple tools by automating the testing process and reporting results.

Enhancements to Test Execution

• Introduced a timer (stopwatch) for testers to automatically record the time taken in minutes to execute the test case; to accurately measure the actual test execution duration.

• The Test Suite - Test Case tab now displays an indicator to help testers quickly identify parameterized test cases that do not have data values assigned for executions.
  @ Blue Color - Indicates parameterized test cases that do not have data values assigned for executions.
  @ Green Color - Indicates parameterized test cases having values assigned for all parameters.

• Unlinking of the Release/Cycle or Platform associated with closed test executions is restricted for eSignature-enabled projects to prevent accidental unlinking and preserve the test execution records.

Introducing Co-Ownership for Custom Dashboard and Gadgets

• Introduced an ability for owners to share custom gadgets and dashboards with edit permissions; by appointing others as co-owners.

• The super administrator can now view the list of all custom dashboards and report gadgets created by any user in the system and share or assign other users as co-owners, individually or in bulk.

• While deactivating a user, the administrator can now assign another user as co-owner of the gadgets and reports owned by the user getting deactivated.
