Performance Optimization for Qualitia's Detailed Report Page

Time to open detailed page of a Qualitia Test Execution Report has now been optimized. Rendering through the detailed report page will now take comparatively lesser time.

Execution Highlight

Qualitia will now highlight the object being acted upon during test case execution. Though this feature is purely experimental as it might not work in all situations, it’s it is still very helpful to know which object on the screen is being worked onupon.

Add Object from HTML Code View

Now add objects to your repository from the Qualitia Object Spy HTML view.

WebFile -

a New Object Type

Qualitia now introduces a new Object type called 'WebFile' along with its corresponding actions. You can now learn/add objects of the 'WebFile' type (that is HTML input type=file) and use the AttachFile action against this object.

Note: Test cases containing steps that require file paths will need changes to ensure successful execution. For e.g. example, a Windows path will not run on Linux or Mac. A suitable path will be needed to execute.

Multiple parallel executions on the same system

Qualitia users can now execute multiple test suites on the same box in parallel and thus save your total execution time.

Note: Test cases containing steps like Press Keys, Upload and download cannot support parallel execution on the same system. They can still be executed in parallel on different systems.

Browser

-based Screen Capture

Qualitia now captures browser screenshots using this newly introduced screen capture mode. This allows users to capture screens regardless of the browser is the active screen. It also helps capture execution screen shots during parallel executions.

Note: Unless you are using parallel executions on the same system it’s recommended to , we recommend that you use Desktop-based screen capture, which is the default screen capture mode.

Performance Improvements

Qualitia report generation now is 2x faster and more efficient.
