You can add multiple execution profiles with different combinations of configuration settings. Use the new user interface for editing profile settings and desired capabilities.

• Maintain multiple execution profiles for an offline package and edit the profiles using a simple user interface.

• Developing Custom Actions has become more object-oriented as you can access Qualitia Public APIs.

Known Issues

The following are the known issues in Qualitia Automation Studio 8.0.0.

...

• You cannot record the actions on the objects of permission request popups. To work around this issue, you need to manually add the steps with actions such as AcceptDialogand DismissDialog.

• If you select an item from a list, the recorder does not record the SelectItemByText action, but it records a step with the Click action and the selected list item as the object.

...
