Qualitia Automation Studio for Web and Mobile 6.0

TFS/Azure DevOps Integration

Qualitia now offers seamless integration with TFS and Azure DevOps. As a part of this integration, Qualitia replaces manual testing procedures in the application development processes with Qualitia automated test cases. This makes the application development processes robust and simple. This integrated automation platform then allows managing Qualitia automated test cases inside TFS or Azure DevOps. 

Using this seamless integration, you can: 

• Map Qualitia project to TFS project, 

• Map Qualitia automated test cases to TFS test cases, 

• Execute Qualitia tests cases locally in TFS/Azure DevOps (using self-hosted agents), 

• Run Qualitia tests cases as part of your CI (Continuous Integration) pipelines,

• Create Defects in TFS/Azure DevOps projects for the test cases that are failed or have defects from Qualitia Automation Studio. 

For more information about this integration, refer to the Azure DevOps section.

New Web API Actions

Qualitia has enhanced its test coverage by adding few more capabilities into its Web API action’s repository. These actions will help you in automating test cases for REST API services with JSON and XML files. Following is the complete list of new actions which you can leverage for the API testing using Qualitia automation studio.  

List of all the actions: 

For more information on using these actions and their parameters, refer to the Web Services Actions section. 

Introducing Donut Charts & Navigation Controls in Execution Results Report 

Qualitia suite execution reports are now enhanced with all new color schemes in order to be more user-friendly and intuitive. The Summary Report will now show the donut chart and help to understand the overall status of the suite at a glance.

Based on the requirements, you can then filter to view the test cases with specific statuses.  Additionally, in the Detail Report, you can route through the tasks or steps that are failed or have defects in them using new controls given at the top right corner of the screen. Shortcut keys have also been enabled for this navigation and these can be viewed from the tool-tips available for the controls.

You can show/hide the log section using the control () provided for the purpose.

Qualitia Automation Studio for Web and Mobile 5.6.2

We would like to bring to your notice that Qualitia is now compatible with Open JDK. In case you are using Oracle JDK and now you want to shift to the Open JDK, download the Open JDK from here and change the Java 8 install path from Qualitia Configuration Settings.

Introducing SmartLocator for Objects with Dynamic Elements 

Qualitia Object Spy is now enhanced to identify objects with dynamic elements. Its SmartLocator understands changes in object behavior and identifies objects with dynamic elements automatically and corrects the object locator values runtime during test case execution. This makes test case execution of web applications more reliable despite changes in object elements. These updated values are also added into the object repository for future use.  

For more information about the SmartLocator feature, refer to Qualitia documentation. 

Object Spy for Google Chrome 

In addition to the Internet Explorer browser add-in, Qualitia is now delighted to introduce Google Chrome extension of Object Spy. This Object Spy for Google Chrome allows Qualitia users to add and update objects from the application under test. You can easily download and start using this extension from Chrome Web Store.  

For more information on how to work with Object Spy on Google Chrome, refer to Qualitia documentation. 

Introducing Excel-Based Dashboards 

Qualitia is delighted to introduce MS Excel-based Dashboards. These dashboards provide the capability to analyze the results of the Test Cases executed using Qualitia Automation Studio for Web and Mobile. These dashboards help product owners, managers, and testers getting a holistic and comprehensive view of Execution Results across Projects, Test Environments, and Business Requirements. 

For more information about accessing and interpreting charts and metrics from dashboard, refer to the MS Excel-Based Dashboards section. 

Sauce W3C (Beta) Capabilities Support  

With the Selenium version 3.11.0 and above, Qualitia now supports the W3C-compliant Selenium capabilities and protocol (Beta) while executing test cases on Sauce Labs. You can use these capabilities simply by setting a few desired capabilities in the sauce.properties file. 

For more information on how to use W3C-compliant Selenium capabilities and protocol (Beta), refer to the Test case Executions on Sauce Labs section. 

Introducing New Action:  StoreDateTimeByZone 

A new action has been introduced to store and convert the date and time into different time zones.  

For more information about this action and its parameters, refer to Qualitia actions section.  

Highlighting Task Headers with Different Colors in Test Data Sheet 

Identifying different tasks in Test Data sheet is now simplified by highlighting the task headers in different colors. This makes working with test data more user-friendly and intuitive.  

This makes test data more readable and comprehensive.

Bug Fixes:

• Disabled changing of the parent object for any existing Qualitia object.

• Resolved an error found during the Project Save As operation.

• Handled the intermittent issue of error seen on selecting a new window on IE.

• Added new desired capability (screenResolution) for executions in the Sauce Labs environment with specific screen resolution. You can find this capability in the sauce.properties file.

• Resolved the issue of the report not getting generated if the user directly uses an undefined variable in Qualitia test cases.

Introducing Support for Web Services

Qualitia has enhanced its test coverage by adding few more capabilities into its action repository. These actions will help you in automating test cases for XMLs, JSONs, and SOAP and REST services. Following is the complete list of new actions.

For more information about these actions and their parameters, refer to the Web Services Actions section.

Introducing Support for Test Executions in Perfecto Environment

You can now execute Web and Mobile application test cases from your Qualitia offline packages using Perfecto’s Environment. To do so, you must configure your offline package accordingly.

For more information on how to configure the offline package to execute test cases in Perfecto’s environment, refer to the Executions on Perfecto section from Qualitia documentation.

Introducing Support for Test Executions on Sauce Labs Real Devices (aka TestObject)

You can now execute mobile application test cases from your Qualitia offline packages using Sauce Labs Real Devices. To do so, you must configure your offline package accordingly.

For more information on configuring the offline package to execute test cases using Sauce Labs Real Devices, refer to the Executions on Sauce Labs Real Devices section from Qualitia documentation.

Introducing Integration with HP ALM

Qualitia is now enhanced to integrate with HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). This integration helps in linking Qualitia test cases to ALM test cases and export Test Suites from Qualitia to ALM. You can also view and manage reports for test case executions from ALM itself.

For more information about linking your test cases to ALM test cases, refer to the ALM Integration section from Qualitia documentation.

Ability to Upload Files from Local Directory during Web Application Testing in Remote and Cloud Environments
