Release Notes for September Release (Build 9.0.4166)

Highlights

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration:
    Qualitia now supports Single Sign-On (SSO), simplifying user authentication and enhancing both security and user experience.

    • Enhanced User Experience: SSO enables users to log in once and access Qualitia and other integrated applications with a single set of credentials, reducing multiple logins and saving time.

    • Improved Security: Centralized authentication through SSO enforces stronger security measures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and robust password policies, reducing the risk of security breaches.Simplified User Management: SSO integrates with existing identity management systems, making it easier for IT teams to manage user roles and access across multiple platforms from a single interface, reducing administrative effort.

    • Seamless Access to Integrated Tools: SSO allows smooth transitions between different applications for testing, development, and reporting, improving productivity without the need for repeated logins.Scalability and Flexibility: SSO provides an efficient solution for onboarding and offboarding users as organizations grow, ensuring appropriate access to Qualitia and related systems.

    • Compliance and Auditing: SSO helps organizations meet compliance requirements by centralizing user access controls and offering detailed audit logs of authentication activities, aiding in regulatory compliance.

SSO improves Qualitia's operational efficiency, security, and user satisfaction while simplifying access management across applications.

What's New

...

SFDCSwitchAppUsingURL: A new action, SFDCSwitchAppUsingURL, allows you to easily switch to a specified app using its URL. It lets you select the appName from a dropdown, eliminating the need to manually enter the URL.

...

Create Salesforce API Object: You can now create a Salesforce API object directly from the contextual menu. This feature has been introduced to simplify the workflows and enhance efficiency.

...

$NULL$ Integration: You can now add $NULL$ as both a static and parameterized value in test data. This feature helps prevent execution errors caused by blank cells.
You can add $NULL$ manually or by simply clicking "Add $NULL$ in blank" from More Options. This will automatically fill all blank cells with $NULL$, reducing the chance of errors during execution.

...

...

Execute from Selected Step: A new feature Execute from Steps has been introduced where you can now execute a test case starting from any step you select. Simply choose the desired step and click Execute from Steps to run the test from that point onwards. This feature is only available for Desktop projects.

...

Optimization Mode: Enabling this option helps accelerate action execution and improves performance.  

Known Issues

  • Live Report Disabled During Execution & Not Visible on Real-Time Reporting Portal: If the Live Report option is disabled and execution is not visible on the Real-Time Reporting portal, check the disk space—it should be at least 10%. To temporarily resolve this, update the
    C:\ProgramData\Qualitia Automation Studio - Server\workspace\data\settings.yaml
    and set the appropriate limit.

  • A blank window may appear during offline headless execution when using Chrome browser version 129.

  • For ADO mobile execution, capabilities must be manually added in the ADO pipelineImproved the Subsequent Project Loading and Project Switching: We have significantly optimized subsequent project loading and project switching times in Qualitia. You will experience faster load times and smoother project transitions, especially when working with larger projects:

    • Large projects (3800+ test cases): Subsequent project loading improved by 80.31%

    • Small projects (130+ test cases): Subsequent project loading improved by 64.97%

    • Project switch from smaller projects (130+ test cases) to larger projects (3800+ test cases): Improved by 81.36%

    • Project switch from larger projects (3800+ test cases) to smaller projects (130+ test cases): Improved by 69.95%

    These improvements provide a more seamless and efficient user experience, particularly for users managing multiple projects of varying sizes.

  • SFDCSwitchAppUsingURL: A new action, SFDCSwitchAppUsingURL, allows you to easily switch to a specified app using its URL. It lets you select the appName from a dropdown, eliminating the need to manually enter the URL.

  • For ADO mobile execution, capabilities must be manually added in the ADO pipeline. For more details, refer to https://qualitia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QASNew/pages/34857454550/Azure+DevOps+Integration#%F0%9F%94%A7-Got-a-problem%3F-Let%E2%80%99s-fix!.

  • Atlassian has officially revoked support for Jira on-premise installations. As a result, Jira on-premise is no longer supported for integration with Qualitia. Users attempting to integrate Jira on-premise with Qualitia may encounter functionality issues or failed integration attempts.

  • After migrating data from version 8.x, executions may not appear in the Real-Time Reporting portal. This issue arises when the dashboard was disabled in Qualitia v8.x. For more details, refer to https://qualitia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QASNew/pages/3485745455034857453641/AzureReal-time+DevOpsReporting+Integration#%F0%9F%94%A7Portal#%F0%9F%94%A7-Got-atrouble%3F-problem%3F-Let%E2%80%99s-fix!.

Since the label is used as the unique identifier for Salesforce objects, the new object will retain the same Object ID as the previously imported object in Qualitia, potentially leading to issues in object management and identification.

  • Applications that restrict taking screenshots or screen recordings will not support live streaming for Mobile ObjectSpy and Mobile Recorder. This limitation affects the ability to capture or broadcast content from such applications within these features.

Fixed Issues

  • Fixed the issue where after completing the Qualitia installation and license key deployment, an error occurred while loading a project in the Project tab. This issue has been observed under specific conditions. For more details, refer to https://qualitia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QASNew/pages/34857452383/Project+Creation#%F0%9F%94%A7-Got-Trouble%3F-Let%E2%80%99s-Fix!.

  • Fixed an issue where the value "$NULL$" was not being recognized as an empty string, causing execution failures.

  • Addressed a bug preventing users from expanding or collapsing task steps in the debugger after an upgrade.

  • Resolved an error encountered when creating a new project in an upgraded sandbox environment, which previously resulted in a "project setup failed" message, blocking access to other working projects.

  • Fixed the issue where Salesforce connections were removed from Settings after an upgrade, and previously imported objects were no longer visible in the Objects Repository section.

  • Improved the project loading and project switching efficiently.
    We have significantly optimized project loading and switching times in Qualitia. You will experience faster load times and smoother project transitions, especially when working with larger projects:

    • Large projects (3000+ artifacts): Subsequent project loading improved by 80.31%

    • Small projects (130+ artifacts): Subsequent project loading improved by 64.97%

    • Project switch from smaller projects (130+ artifacts) to larger projects (3000+ artifacts): Improved by 81.36%

  • Resolved the issue where test cases containing the waitForVisibility action failed to execute. Support for the waitForVisibility action has been reintroduced, fully addressing the execution problem.

  • An issue causing Qualitia to crash when loading existing test cases has been resolved, ensuring smoother performance and stability during test case loading.

Release Notes for August Release (Build 9.0.3835)

...

  • The Scheduler execution is not working on Safari browser due to failure of Webdriver object creation.

  • When you create a new connection using the Salesforce application and try to import objects, you may see additional object entries under the Import Object section.

  • Not be able to load the SFDC project after an upgrade: If you are not able to load the SFDC project after an upgrade to Qualitia’s latest version, you need to delete the Workspace folder. You can find the workspace folder on the below path: C:\Users\user1\AppData\Local\Qualitia Automation Studio - Client\workspace.

  • Newly added objects are not visible on Import model: If you are not able to find a newly added object on the import model, while creating an object create it as mandatory and save. Once the object is saved, make it non-mandatory, as only mandatory fields are visible on the Import modal. This will make the object visible and ready to be used.

  • Getting error "Early EOF" while project setup after replacing the server workspace: You might get this error while project setup if the credentials through which the VM was logged-in is different from which the Web Services were started. To avoid getting this error you have to make sure that the same log in credential is used for VM as well as web services. To fix this error, refer https://qualitia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QASNew/pages/34857452383/Project+Creation#%F0%9F%94%A7-Got-Trouble%3F-Let%E2%80%99s-Fix!

  • Error while fetching objects for connection: If you are getting the error message Error while fetching objects for connection, while importing the objects, make sure to enable the Client credential flow on the Connected App.
    Note: You can also connect using OAuth Client Credential to avoid such errors.

  • Mobile test case execution is failing on ADO: To execute mobile test cases successfully on ADO, you need to provide all the mobile capabilities manually. Please refer https://qualitia.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QASNew/pages/34857454550/Azure+DevOps+Integration#%F0%9F%94%A7-Got-a-problem%3F-Let%E2%80%99s-fix! for detailed steps on how to add mobile capabilities.

  • Scheduler execution is not working when there is more than 1 test case giving error "ALL TC ITERATIONS MARKED FALSE".
