FIXED
Cancel in the blank parameters and values warning dialog

Now cancel and the close X both work the same.

February 1, 2018
FIXED
Share dialog when users have one or more projects with a very long name

Very long data is often an important testing consideration when dealing with user provided content.

IMPROVED
Information panels

The formatting and styling of the dismissable help panels throughout the application have been improved and normalized across the app.

Issues editing plans from the mind map

Most users use the mind map to visualize their test plan inputs. It's also fully editable however, and there were a few regressions that had been introduced that effected editing your test plan from the mind map view in some cases.

January 15, 2018
FIXED
Changes in an open plan from the plan dialog ripple through the app without a reload

If you used the test plan dialog to change certain aspects of a test plan, such as its name or project, and that plan also happens to be the plan that you are currently editing (2-way defects), then those aspects would be stale and would continue showing the old data until you refreshed or changed plans.

System software upgrades

We made some upgrades to some important system software that should result in noticeable performance increases for many Hexawise operations.

Plan sharing

In Hexawise, plans are shared in a project. We now made it easier to share a plan into a new project. When you click the share action, there's now an option to select existing projects, or to create a new project right there.

FIXED
Add value expansions to a parameter when there is so far only one parameter in the plan

This was a strange pairwise defect.

FIXED
Value expansions could be lost when removing unrelated parameters in single parameter edit

FIXED
Attribute invites to the proper user in all cases

Want to guess if this bug was a pair-wise defect? If you guessed 'yes', you're a winner!

If a user was invited to a project by someone that did not originally create the project, the invitation said that the project creator is inviting them to the project. Now it correctly identifies the inviter to the invitee in the invitation.

FIXED
Regression exporting without tests

Fixed a regression that occurs only when exporting with no test cases. A classic pairwise defect.

January 5, 2018
IMPROVED
Shared project email

The email you get when a project has been shared with you now includes a list of the test plans in the project and links to the test plans.

FIXED
Plan revisions dialog

Searching in the plan revisions dialog, then coming back into it kept the old search criteria, which then also caused layout issues in the dialog. This is a classic combinatorial defect caused by a sequence of specific actions.

NEW
Requirements traceability in Excel and CSV exports

The requirements traceability of requirements to the test cases where they appear was only exported as a sheet in the HP QC/ALM export. It is now also exported as a sheet in the Excel export and a CSV file in the CSV exports.

January 4, 2018
FIXED
Create / edit parameter dialog dismissal

Dismissing with the X now behaves the same as dismissing with the "cancel" link.

FIXED
Trailing commas in bulk edit

Including one or more trailing commas at the end of a set of comma-delimited parameter values in bulk edit would cause the parameter and values on the next line to be interpreted incorrectly.

IMPROVED
Manage plan dialog with long plan names

You can now hover over truncated long plan names to get the full name.

FIXED
Graphic glitch in Create Tests panel header

Happy New Year everybody!

We're getting back into the swing of things here at Hexawise HQ after the holidays with a nice, easy one.

FIXED
Error saving parameter value updates with blank requirements

Some unusual cases could cause errors when saving parameter values when blank requirements existing. Spooky action at a distance? Only in very specific cases? That's what combinatorial testing is all about!

October 20, 2017
FIXED
Exporting requirements with no values

Exporting would fail in some cases when there were requirements with no values specified. A pairwise defect.

October 13, 2017
FIXED
Requirements import issue

A pairwise defect around interactions with certain sequences of value pairs would prevent requirements import from completing successfully. This has now been resolved.

IMPROVED
Identifying Variation quiz

Some of the quiz questions in the Identifying Variation self-assessment quiz were improved to be more clear and relevant.

October 4, 2017
FIXED
Bad link to "Key Concepts" info in quiz

Link to the "Key Concepts" information for the "Strength of Combinations" quiz was broken

FIXED
Quiz link not working

"Strength of Combinations" link from achievements was not working.

IMPROVED
Expected results in test cases table of large sets of test cases.

Once a set of test cases gets very large (hundreds of tests), lots of parameters, Hexawise starts to display a slimmed down display of the test cases where any values aren't replaced, and bolding of parameter values forced by requirements doesn't happen, etc.

In those cases, the expected results column that shows the expected results from requirements (if any) was also not shown. This could be confusing as to if Hexawise is actually using the specified requirements (it is). These expected results are now always displayed.

Thank you to Aditya for requesting the improvement.
