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.

Changes on the Configuration Settings Screen

In order to be more user-friendly and comprehensive, Qualitia has updated the Configuration Settings screen with the following changes:

  • 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 (8.4.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.
