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 (8.3.X) Azure DevOps section.

  • You can now add all the dependencies required for test case execution from the single screen. These dependencies include Project Path, Execution Results Path, AutoIT Install Path, and so forth.

  • The Platform section allows you to add all the test case execution platform-related settings for Web and Mobile application testing.

  • Few new options such as Wait Mode, Page Timeout, and so forth, are added to the Execution section.

For detailed information about configuration settings, refer to the Qualitia Configuration Settings section.

Introducing Explicit Wait Mode

Selenium provides two types of waits: Explicit and Implicit. In order to optimize performance while executing test cases, you can now select the Wait Mode based on your requirements from the Configuration Settings (Execution) screen. For more information about this, refer to the Qualitia Configuration Settings section.

Additionally, in Explicit Wait, you can use Timeout and Polling Intervals when developing test cases. These capabilities help you in optimizing the performance and building robust Qualitia test cases. For more information about how to work with timeout and polling interval, click here.

Introducing Object-based Polling Intervals and Timeout

You can now add Timeout and Polling Intervals for each object separately when adding objects into Qualitia object repository. These inputs will be considered only when selecting Explicit Wait Mode from the Configuration Settings (Execution) screen.

For more information about adding polling intervals and timeout, refer to the (8.3.0 2) Adding an Object section.

Ability to Specify Grid Platform in Selenium Grid Executions

Qualitia provides you the ability to execute your test cases using Selenium Grid. You can specify the GridPlatform in the qualitia.properties file from the Config folder of Qualitia Offline Package. When not specified, hub takes any available node and continues execution.

Quick Search for Actions

You can now search actions when selecting them on the Test Cases and Tasks screen. Start typing the action name and the list will be filtered based on the entered characters.

Deprecated Actions

You will find some actions listed in strikethrough (strike) text in purple on the Test Cases and Tasks screens. We recommend not to use these actions when developing a new test case as there are better options available now for the same operation. While these actions will continue to work in this release, they might be taken away in future releases with appropriate migration methods.

In case you execute your test cases with the deprecated actions, you will find these actions in the strikethrough (strike) text in the test execution reports as well.

For the complete list of deprecated actions, refer to the (8.3.X) Deprecated Actions section.

Change in Nomenclature

Business Rule is now renamed to Acceptance Criteria. All the references to Acceptance Criteria should be meant as Business Rules.
