Hexawise recent updates

December 27, 2010
CHANGED

The Ctl-u shortcut did not work on many Windows machines.

December 19, 2010
NEW
Excel export has a table of contents

The Excel export is spread across multiple sheets and this was often overlooked by Hexawise users that are not used to multi-sheet Excel files. The first sheet of the Excel file is now a Table of Contents for all the other sheets with links to them.

NEW
Export to CSV

Not everyone has Microsoft Excel of course. You can now export your plans to a zip file containing a CSV file for each section you have data for (Parameters, Tests, Invalid Pairs, Value Expansions and Notes). Simply select CSV in the export dialog (Excel is still the default).

IMPROVED
Header sizing on narrow browser windows

The header has been optimized for narrow browser windows so that the right side navigation will not push off the screen unless it absolutely has to.

FIXED
Fixed a UI glitch when expanding browser height

Expanding browser height now properly provides the extra space to the left panel. Before it allocated the space "below" the panel until you refreshed or navigated to a new page.

NEW
Import invalid pairs, value expansions and notes from Excel

Previously, you could import an Excel spreadsheet (in the same format as the Hexawise export), but it would not import everything, only the inputs. Now it imports everything except the tests themselves.

IMPROVED
Removed potentially confusing characters from plans' share URLs

0's and O's, and I's and 1's will no longer be present in the Link to "Create and Comment" access project URL (available from the Manage Project Membership dialog).

December 6, 2010
FIXED
Problem submitting the password reset form.

With the launch of the new Hexawise website, a problem was introduced in submitting the password reset form. This is now resolved.

November 29, 2010
IMPROVED
Clarified dialog wording

Improved the wording of the "too many parameter values" dialog that suggests when you might want fewer parameter values.

FIXED
Problem analyzing test plans with only 1 parameter

Fixed a problem if you request to analyze coverage on a test plan with just 1 parameter.

NEW
Additional FAQ entries

New FAQ entries on blank parameter values and parameter orders.

November 27, 2010
IMPROVED
More descriptive wording for auto-script panel

While tests are being generated, the wording is more descriptive of what is happening when the auto-script panel is expanded.

REMOVED
Hint panel on the left side

Removed to maximize the space available for the other left side panels.

IMPROVED
Optimized top panel size in "Create Tests" and "Analyze Coverage"

Optimized the content layout to be much smaller, leaving more room on small screens for the other panels.

November 11, 2010
FIXED
Blank page after login on IE7

Fixed an issue that was causing some IE7 users to see a blank page after logging in until they refreshed.

October 27, 2010
FIXED
Javascript error with Unicode characters in combination output

Resolved a bug that affected IE 7 when certain parameter value characters were not properly escaped.

FIXED
Handling an innocuous IE7 JavaScript error

Better handling of an occasional and innocuous IE7 JavaScript error.

October 19, 2010
FIXED
Server error from auto-script in certain circumstances

If test combinations did not get generated properly, and an auto-script was created for the test plan, it could give a server-side error in some circumstances.

October 7, 2010
FIXED
Improved the forgotten password mechanism

The email address you were attempting to login with is no brought over for you when you use the reset a forgotten password feature.

September 10, 2010
FIXED
Coverage Analysis Graph Glitches

Fixed some graphical glitches that left portions of the analysis graph not properly shaded in some circumstances.

NEW
Range function now works on numbers with commas

Previously, a range value had to be specified as 5001-7000 to be treated as a range and not a literal. Now you can include commas, such as 5,001-7,000.

FIXED
Unable to copy tests in some rare circumstances

A small # of plans were not copyable. This is resolved.

FIXED
Define Inputs columns after adds, edits and deletes

When adding new parameters, editing or deleting parameters, the number of columns in each row would sometimes be off, with some parameters not having enough columns, or some parameters having to many. This is now corrected.

IMPROVED
Improved the self-registration process

Made the process smoother, not required to re-enter password during activation.

August 26, 2010
FIXED
Reorder first parameter in a new plan

Fixed a problem where you could not reorder the first parameter added to a new plan after adding the second parameter until you did a refresh.
