Constraint dialog order reverses after error

If you attempted to create an married pair constraint that violates existing constraints, an error dialog explaining the issue is shown. Upon returning from the dialog back to the married pair constraint creation dialog, the order of the parameters could reverse from the order in which you clicked them. This has been resolved.

Hexawise Automate: <Test Case> Gherkin expression for Scenario and Scenario Outline sections

Hexawise Automate has had the <Test Number> expression that can be used in Scenario and Scenario Outline sections to include a sequential number for each included test case, either in the Examples table in the Scenario Outline or in the sequence of generated Scenario, one for each test case.

In addition, there is now a <Test Case> expression that provides the (potentially non-sequential) number of the generated test case for the row of the Examples table or the generated Scenario.

If your Scenario or Scenario Outline doesn't have any {[Parameter] Parameter value} selector(s) then there will be no difference in the values provided by <Test Number> and <Test Case>, but if it does, then the <Test Number> will increment from 1 sequentially, while the <Test Case> will reflect the number of hde generated test case for the Examples table row or generated Scenario.

FIXED
Issue with forced return to large test case generation request

After requesting a long-running test case generation (5-way or 6-way) and then instead selecting a lesser strength, refreshing or navigating would return to the larger strength request.

Thanks to Zachary for reporting the issue.

Hexawise Automate: Pairwise defect in selecting scenario examples

Hexawise Automate scenario examples that are constrained by parameter value would be missing test cases where the same parameter value is value expanded or range expanded in the generated test case.

IMPROVED
Scrolling when there are numerous constraints

There are three areas of the screen, the test plan inputs, the list of constraints, and the list of implied constraints. There was some scroll interaction between the three that made it more difficult and tedious to work with heavily constrained plans. These three areas now have better scroll behavior.

Hexawise Automate: The language and framework pair listing in Automated Test Framework export

The list of language and framework pairs was inconsistent and jumbled. Sometimes with the language first, sometimes with the framework first, and sometimes with only the framework and the language implied. This has now been made completely consistent for easier scanning of the list.

FIXED
"Hide this" link in the mixed-strength warning panel

When attempting to apply new mixed-strength settings that are invalid, an explanation warning panel appears. The "hide this" link on the panel did not work properly.
