Qualitia Automation Studio 8.5.0 Release Notes

What’s New?

Bug Fixes

Known Issues

...

Execution of suites having test cases with large test data iterations, such as 5000 iteration rows and 500 parameter columns, fails to start.

...

While purging the old Qualitia Reports in large volumes, such as 16 GB reports with 44 GB data, you may see the "Error occurred while fetching purge listing" error.
As a workaround, purge the old Qualitia Reports in chunks instead of purging large volumes at the same time.

Recording or executing test cases using Internet Explorer browser fails with a timeout error message in the QualitiaEngine.log file. This issue occurs as the WebDriverManager does not identify the IE browser version and hence it fails to download the appropriate driver.

...

Real Time Report

Introduced a feature to publish the suite execution status to ALM test sets for the test cases that are executed in Qualitia suite.

Enhancements

QAS/L3

Changes in Qualitia system properties will not prompt for restarting client, the Engine Service Restart is now done silently.

Engine

Updated the webdrivermanager version from 4.4.3 to 5.1.0.

Bug Fixes

SFDC

  • Auto Heal (Smart Locator) support is added for web objects in SFDC Projects.

  • Fixed the AcceptDialogue action issue.

QAS/L3

  • The test data issue related to loading the test case where step sequence in the included task is changed has been fixed.

  • Around 45 issues, out of which 7 are legacy issues and 6 are improvements have been fixed. Click here to see the details in JIRA.

Engine

  • Fixed the opening of child window issue by loading the relevant polyfills.

  • Updated the Wait action behavior as per the 7 series.

  • Fixed the browser crash issue in the Qualitia v8.4.0 Offline packages.

  • Removed the unused dependency Perfecto-reportium-allure-integration library from the engine, which causes the following compilation error: Execution failed for task ':Reporter:compileJava'.

  • Qualitia Engine now applies the system properties that are entered by user in the Qualitia settings, and the verbose logs are now generated in the location specified by the user.

Known Issues

  • Execution of suites having test cases with large test data iterations, such as 5000 iteration rows and 500 parameter columns, fails to start.

  • While purging the old Qualitia Reports in large volumes, such as 16 GB reports with 44 GB data, you may see the "Error occurred while fetching purge listing" error.
    As a workaround, purge the old Qualitia Reports in chunks instead of purging large volumes at the same time.

  • Recording or executing test cases using Internet Explorer browser fails with a timeout error message in the QualitiaEngine.log file. This issue occurs as the WebDriverManager does not identify the IE browser version and hence it fails to download the appropriate driver.

    As a workaround, download and add a driver that is compatible with IE browser version manually and provide the path in Qualitia Settings by navigating to Browser>IE.

  • In the Dashboard Heatmap, if the date range spans across two calendar years, the heatmap shows the data only for the latest year.

  • In the Dashboard, for the date filters, the following behavior is observed:

    • If you select the current date, which is today’s date, the selection is applied.

    • If you select a date range, the starting date is applied but not the end date. Details up to the current date are displayed, irrespective of what end date is selected.

    • If you select a date from previous years, then the selection is ignored. Data for only the current year is displayed.

  • When you purge more than 2 GB of data, the purge status of the batch is not marked as completed as expected.

  • In the Dashboard – Test Trend, the unexecuted test cases from a suite are not included in the calculations.

  • Overriding an environment variable that is used in multiple QAS projects from the Azure DevOps pipeline overrides the environment variable across all QAS projects.
    You can use any of the following workarounds:

    • Do not use the same environment variable name across multiple Qualitia projects that are linked with an AzureDevOps project.

    • If you already have an environment variable that is used across multiple Qualitia projects with AzureDevOps pipeline, do not override the environment variable from AzureDevOps pipeline.

    • Ensure that the tests from different Qualitia projects are not linked to the AzureDevOps tests in the same test suite.

    • Ensure that environment variables names in multiple Qualitia projects do not match. You may prefix them with the project name.

...

Qualitia Automation Studio now allows you to clone the existing execution profiles. You can clone an execution profile to copy its settings for creating a new execution profile.

      • Opens another Chrome Object Spy to add child window objects.

  • The locator preference is now saved locally so that it is preserved across all the Object Spy sessions for a user.

  • You can now edit the Mandatory status for a custom action parameter though the action is added in a task or a test case.

  • You can now increase the timeout to query the database to more than 30 seconds.
    To set the timeout value, open the Qualitia Server Settings file and specify the DatabaseQueryTimeout value as per your requirement.

  • When the connection to the MS SQL database server fails, the Chrome Object Spy now displays an appropriate message to restore the database connection.

  • Updated Git integration workflow to avoid continuous incorrect Task modification notification.

...
