FIXED
Missing highlight on the "Create Tests" navigation when creating mixed-strength tests.
FIXED
Initiating editing on an auto-script field causing it to scroll out of view

This annoying defect which only affected later steps (pairwise defect!) has been fixed.

NEW
Keyboard triggered auto-complete in HP-QC / ALM export

In the test name and test description fields of the HP QC / ALM export dialog, you can now insert parameter values using keyboard autocomplete (similar to how it works in auto-script step fields) by typing the { character.

IMPROVED
Maximum parameter values for coverage matrix

The maximum number of parameter values your test plan can have and still use the coverage matrix visualization has been increased for users of Chrome and Firefox browsers. The new limits are:

Chrome: 100 parameter values Firefox: 85 parameter values IE: 75 parameter values

NEW
Total possible number of parameter value interactions

After creating tests you can see the total possible number of parameter value interactions your test cases are covering. This takes into account your value pair constraints. Hover over the information icon in the purple header bar when viewing test cases.

NEW
Sort, secondary sort and tertiary sort test cases

You can now sort test cases by the values of a specific parameter by clicking on the table heading for that parameter. Click it again to sort descending. You can also use shift-click to apply a secondary sort parameter, and even shift-click again to apply a tertiary sort parameter.

NEW
Search in test cases

You can now search for parameter values in test cases.

Error when saving requirements after navigation prompt

Fixed a recent regression where choosing to save requirements after navigating away from the requirements page caused an error instead.

Thanks to our automated error reporting system for reporting this bug. 😄

IMPROVED
Requirements table UI coloring

Row hover coloring now matches test case table.

NEW
Freeze required test cases user interface

Freezing Hexawise generated test cases as required test cases now has full UI support.

We've had the freeze feature to lock in generated test cases for some time, but you had to know the secret handshake to use it. Freezing generated tests as required test cases isn't usually necessary. It's helpful when you invest a lot of effort in a specific set of Hexawise generated tests (such as automating them in a hard coded way, or determining the expected results of the test cases in a laborious manner) and don't want subsequent minor additions to the test plan to result in an entirely new set of test cases.

Unless you have this unusual circumstance though, you should not freeze test cases as it doesn't allow Hexawise to generate the most efficient set of tests as your test plan evolves.

IMPROVED
Color indication for frozen test cases and required test cases

Frozen test cases in the requirements and create tests user interfaces are now colored blue for easy identification.

IMPROVED
Parameter change warning dialog

The dialog warning you of changes to value pairs and requirements caused by changes to parameters now has better wording and bolding for increased readability.

IMPROVED
Freeze / thaw as versioned events

These did not trigger the saving of a revision before, now they do.

IMPROVED
Import file explanation dialog scrolls on short screens

It was difficult to read all the information about file formats for importing on smaller height screens. This dialog now scrolls.

FIXED
Clearing Auto-scripts

This wasn't working. Now it is. Simple as that.

FIXED
"Back to Plans" button shown in project management dialog in incorrect cases.
FIXED
Details on import failures not shown

Detailed explanation of the cause of the failure when importing Excel test plans were not being shown. Now they are again.

May 14, 2016
FIXED
Saving Auto-script expected results with no conditions

There was a remaining Auto-script saving issue that was a 2-way defect only triggered when the conditions of the expected result were blank (always expected).

A big thank you to Lakshmi for an excellent bug report on this issue.

May 10, 2016
NEW
Label plan revisions

You can now provide labels to specific meaningful revisions of your plan. Simply open the plan revisions dialog and click on the numeric revision label and replace it with a meaningful label such as "Beta 3", "Reviewed", "Approved by Doug", "1.0.13.april", or "Sell by June 3".

Whatever makes that revision special, you can label it as such.

May 8, 2016
NEW
Search prior plan revisions

Each revision to your plan includes a verbose description of what changed with the revision. These descriptions are now searchable in the plan revision dialog.

Need to know when "Gold Medallion Level" got removed from your test plan? Now you can search and find out!

Need to know who added "N/A" as a value to the "User" parameter and when they did? It's just a quick search away.

NEW
Copy plan from a revision

In addition to being able to revert to a prior version of your test plan in the Revisions dialog, you can now create a new plan as a copy of a prior revision. These options, the new create a copy from a prior revision, or the existing revert to the prior revision are available as separate action icons on each revision row in the revision dialog.

FIXED
Various minor defects with Auto-scripts UI

Fixed some issues with saving Auto-script Expected Results and unsaved changes messages in the Auto-scripts UI.
