Manager 2025.8 Release Notes
November 2025
With Manager 2025.8, we're bringing you a few bugfixes and general improvements to your qTest experience, including optional updates for qTest search, API updates, and the ability to cancel project cloning.
Updates to qTest search
To improve your search experience in the qTest application, we're changing our the back-end of our search from ElasticSearch to PostgreSQL. Learn more about how you can use our search tools to find the objects you need.
As there are a few known issues with PostgreSQL, OnPremises ships with ElasticSearch. However, after your program is finished with initial indexing, you can optionally switch to PostgreSQL for more stability and security.
Learn how to switch to PostgreSQL for Windows or Linux OnPremise setups.
Updated test case display behavior in Jira
When the Tracking Test Case - Requirement Link Per Test Case Version setting is On, the qTest Test Execution iframe in Jira now displays all test case versions and their associated test runs. Unlinked test cases are only displayed in Jira if they have associated test executions that occurred before they were unlinked.
Learn more about how you can adjust Test Case Settings.
Cancel Project cloning
We've made it so you can clone only one project at a time across your qTest instance.
If you start cloning a project, you can cancel it at any point. Canceling the process deletes the clones copy, but the original one remains available.
Learn more about cloning projects.
Icon refresh
We updated the icons and favicons throughout qTest Manager and the satellite applications to align with the Tricentis brand.
Same great tools, but with a shinier logo.
API Changes
Choose whether to notify users added to a project through the API
We've added a new skipEmailNotifications parameter to the POST /api/v3/users/projects API, which allows you to choose whether or not to send a notification email when you add a user to the project.
Learn more on Swagger (opens in new window).
API updates
We added the new one-time password field to the Add a new Jira connection API call in our documentation.
Learn more on Swagger (opens in new tab).
Security updates
-
We made background changes to improve the overall security of qTest Manager.
-
We made some changes to qTest-Tosca authorization requirements, which improves the security of all calls to Tosca. Learn how to connect qTest and Tosca.
Deprecating Firefox plug-ins
We'll be deprecating all of our Firefox plug-ins on January 1, 2026. To learn more about this, please take a look at our End of Support announcement.

Known issues
PostgreSQL Search
Elasticsearch is automatically enabled in your OnPremises setup. However, if you choose to enable PostgreSQL Search, be aware of the following known issues:
-
If you delete an object, it isn't removed from the index and will continue to show up in search.
-
If you create or update a Requirement or Test Suite, it won't be included in the index and updates won't show up in search.
Jira DC sprint auto-sync
Sprint release types are not automatically synced to qTest OnPremises for Jira DC connections. You can manually refresh your instance to view these updates.
