Applying product updates will give you an enhanced experience of working with Qualitia Automation Studio for Web and Mobile.

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

If you are using Qualitia Automation Studio for Web and Mobile 3.14, you need to upgrade it to the v4.1.0 before you upgrade to the latest version.

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.

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.

 Prerequisites

In order to upgrade to the latest version, you need to set up an environment.  

  • Qualitia WebDriver v3.14.
  • It is strongly recommended to back up Qualitia server databases (Master, Project and Result Databases).
  • If your MySQL database server is installed on Linux machine, you must ensure that the values of column ProjectName and ProjectDBName names are in the lowercase under Master Project database in the table tblprojects. Entering project names in uppercase may cause failing upgrade process.
  • Identify a File Server and create a folder to keep all the Qualitia Installables. This File Share will be used by Qualitia to apply any future upgrades / update packages. It is mandatory that all the Qualitia users should have Read Access to this folder. 

Make sure you are pointing to the correct database server when upgrading to the higher version of Qualitia. Pointing to an incorrect database may result in data loss.
