For more information about new features released in the newer version of Qualitia, please refer to the Release Notes section. 

Note

Qualitia supports upgrade from v3.14. In case you are using prior version of Qualitia WebDriver, please contact support team for the detailed upgrade procedure.

Info

In order to optimize test execution performance for non-browser test cases, Qualitia now launches the browser only on the OpenURL action. This might cause failing test cases with any browser-based actions used before OpenURL in Qualitia for Web and Mobile 4.1.x and above.
Qualitia users must use the browser-based actions such as MaximizeBrowser and so on after the OpenURL action.
