Execution Profile

An execution profile lets you define a set of configuration settings for test suite executions. You can add multiple execution profiles with a different combinations of configuration settings for different environments.
Having execution profiles in place saves you a lot of time that you spent on changing the configuration settings for every execution manually.

...

Configuration Settings

You can now configure settings on project level depending on the project requirements. This comes handy in situations where you can choose whether or not you want to integrate your project with version control tools, such as GIT or SVN.

Dropped features

The following features have been dropped in this release:

...

• The Pause/Resume and Stop button do not work from the Qualitia Editor. As a workaround, use the Pause/Resume and Stop buttons of the Qualitia Web Recorder to pause or resume, or to stop the recording.

• Qualitia Web Recorder may sometimes not record the objects on a popup. To work around this issue, verify if the steps are recorded, if not, try recording them again.

• By design, the recorder does not start until all the objects on a web page are loaded. Ensure that all the objects on a web page are loaded before you start recording.

• Recording keyboard interactions are not supported in this release. As a workaround, you must add such steps manually in the Qualitia Editor.

• Recording objects on Windows dialog boxes, such as downloading or uploading files, or entering user credentials, is not supported in this release. As a workaround, add these steps manually in the Qualitia Editor.

• While recording a web application, if you press Alt+Tab from the keyboard, it is added as Alt+Left in the parameter. You must remove such unnecessary steps captured by the recorder in the Qualitia Editor.

• While recording a web application, if you update the URL in the address bar, it is not recorded as a step. You need to enter a step manually with action as OpenURL and add the new URL in the parameter.

• Qualitia Web Recorder does not support Shadow DOM.

• While recording a web application, if you click the play or pause button of a video, it is not recorded as a step. As a workaround, you must add these elements manually in the Qualitia Editor.

• Qualitia does not recommend using the recorder during dry runs. However, if you do so you may face issues and see unexpected results.

• While recording a web action, if you click Back and Forward buttons, they are not recorded as steps. You need to enter steps manually with actions as /wiki/spaces/QAS8/pages/1381635145 and /wiki/spaces/QAS8/pages/1381635145 NavigateBack and NavigateForward.

• While recording a web application, alert actions are not recorded. You must add these actions manually in the Qualitia Editor.

...

• The Real Time Reporting portal and Reports tab of Qualitia client does not display the test cases executed through TFS/Azure DevOps and HP ALM. Currently, you need to view the associated test suite executions reports in TFS/Azure DevOps and HP ALM only.

• While a test suite execution, Qualitia does not display any appropriate alert message if the Qualitia Server does not have the required space. As a result, you might not view the suite execution report.
  The Admin needs to monitor the amount of available space in Qualitia Server regularly and remove the reports data that are no longer required from the Server Administration Portal. For more information, refer to /wiki/spaces/QAS8/pages/1450967246 Purging the Reports Data.

• Qualitia allows you to edit a text for a test case step under the Name/Condition column in the test case editor screen of the Qualitia Client and save the test case. However, after executing the associated test suite, the suite execution report screen displays the original text under the Hierarchy column.

• The design of Real time Reporting Portal is not mobile responsive. Therefore, you can expect some UI distortions when viewing the portal through the mobile device having resolution lower than 1100px.

• Real Time Reporting portal does not restrict the status bar and log icon moving out of the visible window, which might result in losing them. As a workaround, you have to refresh the report page to display the status bar or log icon.

• Due to a known Firefox bug, the Real Time Reporting portal does not display the white borders in table grids in the Firefox.

• Export to Excel feature currently does not support export the Qualitia Design Studio related attributes such as Module, Epics and Stories for a QDS enabled project 

• Real Time Reporting Portal shows the browser version used for test suites executed on mobile web applications intermittently. As a workaround, before a test suite execution, you need to specify the browser version in the Edit Desired Capabilities of the associated execution profile.

...

• Mobile executions with iOS mobile native and hybrid applications are not tested. iOS application testing on Sauce Labs simulators was not possible due to technical difficulties with Sauce Labs.

Qualitia Automation Studio for Web and Mobile 7.2.4

Report Enhancements

• Publishing the execution end time for each step in the Test Case Summary Report

Object Spy Enhancements Adding Objects using Relative Xpath Qualitia Object Spy now comes with vastly improved and optimized algorithm to result in a smart and shortest possible XPath while learning objects from the web application. This provides reliable XPath when executing test cases in different test environments. Introducing Additional Modes to Add Objects Qualitia Object Spy is now enhanced with additional modes making it more comprehensive and user-friendly for adding objects into the object repository. In addition to the existing Right-Click mode, you can now use Left-Click and Mouse Hover mode to add objects from the application under test. Left-Click: This mode helps adding objects from the applications where right-click function is not allowed for many web applications for security considerations. Mouse Hover: This mode helps adding objects just by hovering mouse pointer over the object. For more information, refer to the Adding objects using Multiple Modes section. Ability to Select Object Attribute On-the-Fly You can now, on-the-fly, decide which attribute you want to use while adding object into the repository. In order to do so, right-click the object which you want to add and select Add Object By. Info When adding object using the right-click mode, system uses preference set under Locator Priority Settings. Introducing Inspection Modes You can now use multiple inspection modes while adding objects from application under test. You can set the inspection mode from the Settings section of Object Spy. Browser Mode: In this mode, Qualitia identifies objects using the JavaScript events or native events. Accessibility: Selecting this mode, you can utilize Microsoft Active Accessibility API to identify objects from application under test more reliably. For more information about changing inspection modes, refer to the Selecting Inspection Modes section. Ability to Resize Columns on the object Spy Screen You can now resize the column width on the Object Spy screen based on your requirements. In order to use so, position the mouse pointer over column line and drag the pointer to the desired position.
