Manager 2024.1 Release Notes

May 2024

With Manager 2024.1, we've provided several updates to improve your experience as you review, edit, and manage your tests. This includes an improved qTest-Tosca integration setup, more control over how you share test cases and view defects, enhancements to the import and export functions, and additional traceability with Vera. We've also added security enhancements and bug fixes keep your qTest experience running smoothly.

Simplified qTest-Tosca integration setup

We updated the qTest-Tosca integration process to make setup a little easier for you.

We now load a list of all your available Tosca workspaces when you enter your Hostname, so you don't have to spend extra time looking for the right Tosca workspace URL.

Learn more about how to set up qTest-Tosca integration.

Enable or disable selective test case sharing

To give you more control over how you manage your shared test case list, we've added the option to enable or disable selective test case sharing.

Disable this option to automatically share existing shared test cases with all allowed projects added in Test Case Settings. With this setting disabled, you won't need to revisit each individual shared test case whenever you add a new project.

Enable selective test sharing if you want more control over how your shared test cases are distributed. With this option enabled, you can individually choose to share— or not share— your existing shared test cases with a new project.

Learn more about shared test cases.

Installation changes

You now have the option to install your own version of the OpenSSL library or use the Open SSL library version that's bundled with qTest.

As part of the qTest installation wizard, you can now generate a secret key that's shared between your qTest deployment. Use the same secret key on all host servers to ensure your qTest components and applications are securely integrated.

For more details on how to install qTest, take a look at the OnPremises installation guides.

Choose how to view defects

Choose how you want to review your defects with our new option in the Defect Workflow Settings window.

Enable Edit Defects in Split Screen to view your defects in a pop-up window without leaving the defect table. If you don't, defects open in a new window or tab.

Learn how you can customize your Defect Workflow Settings.

Import parameters

Now, whenever you export test cases that contain parameters, the parameters no longer convert to plain text. That means you can export and import your test cases without losing any of the parameters you've added to your tests.

Additional traceability for Vera integration

To maximize your testing records in Vera, we've added more traceability to our Vera integration. Now, Vera stores your test cases with their linked test plans and requirements by version, letting you review your testing history with ease.

Learn more about how to integrate your testing with Vera.

Improved execution status accuracy

The execution status percentage in the Execution Summary in Test Execution now rounds to two digits after the decimal point, instead of to the nearest whole number.

New API calls

We added some new API calls to help you quickly retrieve the exact information you need from the API.

GET Test Runs for Requirement ID

Use the new GET Test Runs for Requirement ID API call to retrieve test runs attached to a requirement. This API call also includes a boolean parameter to return the last execution log, as well as the optional parameter to return associated test cases and test steps for queried test runs.

We also added fields to filter by test run status, test run type, environment, and the tester who performed the test run.

Read more in our Swagger.

GET Defects for Requirement ID

Use GET Defects for Requirement ID to retrieve information for any defects attached to a requirement.
