Release Note 8.16.x

Build 8.16.0.1 - Release Date: 2024-03-07

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

  • On creating a test case from the requirement page, the user is now automatically navigated to the requirement's linked test case section, ensuring the focus remains on the requirement. The same flow is improved when creating a test case from the requirement list view.

  • Users can now view custom fields of test entities on the link screens. This feature allows testers to efficiently select test entities based on the combination and configurations of the customer fields, ensuring comprehensive coverage. The custom fields are available for display when linking requirements, test cases, test suites, and issues across the product.

Infrastructure Enhancements

  • The QMetry application is upgraded to Tomcat 10, enhancing security and reliability. For server customers, the release upgrades include the QMetry application bundled with Tomcat10 as the default configuration.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented filtering test cases based on a folder while linking to the test suite when the search criteria contained folders preserved from the last search.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the export of test executions in PDF and Word formats.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the display of cross-project test case executions and issues in the traceability report.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented import of test cases from Excel/CSV files when the column mapped to the Summary field wasn't the first column.

  • Fixed a bug that exported test executions to Excel/CSV with incorrect test case and step details in some cases.

  • Fixed a bug that exported requirements and test cases to Excel/CSV with data between HTML and Plaintext fields incorrectly interchanged.

  • Fixed a bug for Firefox ESR v115.7.0 that did not retain the expanded folder structure and switched users back to the root folder on return.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the first IDP-initiated SAML user login attempt to be redirected to the QMetry login page if the previous session had expired.
