  • Saving an archive directly to a shared drive (or on a PC with a slower or busy hard disk) occasionally resulted in an error when the recording was stopped.
  • Recording a specific app, on a laptop, with an external monitor connected which is set as the only display resulted in the screen shots not being saved in the .tra archive.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.21.992.0 (Sep 7, 2015)

  • New Features:
  • File export is now available to Word (version 2007 on) and RTF as well as the existing PDF format. It is not necessary to have Word installed on your computer to export to this format.
  • When a recording is stopped a final screen capture is taken. This is to allow for automated screen changes to be captured, e.g. a web page changing.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Some users were reporting that the recorder continually informed them that it was still saving data and would not close. This has been addressed.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.13.969.0 (Jul 25, 2015)

  • New Features:
  • Taskbar buttons have been added (for Windows 7 onwards) that allow control of a recording from the Recorder's taskbar icon. Screen shot below.
  • Taskbar icon overlay added to show current state of Recorder (Recording, Paused, etc.).
  • New option in the General options tab to automatically minimise the Recorder when a recording starts.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • The Options dialog occasionally asked the user to confirm changes even if none had been made.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.12.961.0 (Jun 15, 2015)

  • New Feature - Floating Licenses:
  • TestEvidence has always allowed collaborative use of its licenses via the deactivation feature that permits a machine based license to be transferred to another computer. We still believe this to be an acceptable trade off between cost per license and flexibility for our customers.
  • Our larger customers have asked for a more flexible enterprise license and this is now available. An enterprise floating license may be activated by any user, provided that the total number of seats in simultaneous use does not exceed the number of licenses purchased. When the user closes the TestEvidence applications their license is automatically freed up for another user.
  • Floating licenses are 2.5x the cost of machine based licenses. We will be updating the purchase page on the website soon, but we can give you a customised quote if you get in touch at [email protected]
  • New Feature - Secret Key Capture:
  • One of our customers wanted the ability to have their testers be seen to be entering passwords without the reviewer knowing what had been typed. At any time during a recording the Secret Keys function may be turned on and all key strokes will then be recorded as #s until the feature is turned back off again.
  • Enhancements:
  • The select application drop down for Single Application Recording is now initially sorted by process name rather than window caption. Selecting a new target folder for saving recordings now performs a permissions check to ensure you have write access to it.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • License deactivation would occasionally fail. We believe we have now resolved this.
  • Reviewer event navigation controls truncated when many hundreds of events were recorded.
  • Submission of error reports when creating the .tra file were not being sent to us!

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.11.942.0 (Apr 27, 2015)

  • New Feature - User Selectable Filenames:
  • Users can now specify an archive's filename when a recording is stopped.
  • This is enabled via the Options dialog's Archive Files tab.
  • Enhancement:
  • The single application recording feature now fully supports identifying and capturing all child windows of an application.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.10.936.0 (Apr 21, 2015)

  • New Feature - Single Application Recording:
  • We have added the ability for the Test Recorder to capture input to a single application rather than a whole desktop. This feature should be regarded as experimental.
  • New Feature - Copy Screen Image to Clipboard:
  • We have added a button to the toolbar (Copy Image) that copies the currently visible screen image to the clipboard.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.9.933 (Apr 9, 2015)

  • New Feature - Reviewer - Ribbon Bar:
  • We have added a new Office like ribbon control to the reviewer which will allow us to expand the functionality going forward.
  • New Feature - Recorder & Reviewer - User Notes During Recording:
  • The user who is making a recording can now add textural annotations at any point during a recording. This results in a new event type (Note) appearing in the event navigator and the user's annotation shown on the screen.
  • The Recorder's screen has been slightly redesigned to allow for this extra functionality and to make the shortcut keys more obvious.
  • New Feature - Reviewer - Selectable Event Export to PDF:
  • Several customers have requested the ability to pre-filter the events passed to the PDF export.
  • We have implemented two complementary ways to achieve this
  • Globally turning on or off whole event categories. You can now choose to show or hide all mouse, key, pause or notation events.
  • Selecting individual events. The event navigator now has a checkbox on each row. The PDF export dialogue now allows you to specify if you want to export all events or just the selected ones.
  • The PDF cover page adds notes to alert the reader if either of the above filters has been applied.
  • Windows 10 Compatibility:
  • We have been testing the Test Evidence suite on an early release of Windows 10 and are pleased to report that we have not found any compatibility issues.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.8.915 (Feb 25, 2015)

  • New Feature - Hot Keys:
  • This release introduces a new global hot keys feature. This allows users to start, pause and stop TestRecorder via the keyboard without having to navigate to the TestRecorder application.
  • Minor Changes:
  • The Options dialog has been redesigned to use tabs to support the growing number of settings. All previous options are still available.
  • Checks that the user has write access to their local app data folders and displays an error if they don't. TestRecorder requires write access to these folders and users normally have this permission by default.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.7.895 (Feb 25, 2015)

  • Enhancement:
  • Totally revamped PDF exporter.
  • Supports landscape and portrait printing with more intelligent placing of the screen shots and event details.
  • Full support for portrait oriented displays.
  • Full control over how the mouse pointer is illustrated on the PDF.
  • Fixes and Minor Changes:
  • Recording of single displays in multiple display setups correctly producing TRA archives.
  • Usage of the term "Display" in place of "Screen" now consistent across the suite.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.6.881 (Feb 25, 2015)

  • Enhancement:
  • Added support for devices with high DPI settings.
  • Fixes:
  • License deactivation and moving was not working properly in some circumstances.
  • If you continue to receive errors in moving licenses please contact us to have your license records updated.
  • Reviewer now properly shows recordings made with mouse event tracking fully disabled.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.5.862 (Feb 25, 2015)

  • Selective Recording of Mouse Events
  • The options page now allows you to determine which mouse events are recorded. You can select any combination of Down, Up or Double Click.

New in Test Evidence Suite 1.4.854 (Feb 25, 2015)

  • Ability to open raw recordings
  • If the host computer crashes during a recording then the .tra archive is not assembled. In this release we have added the ability to directly open the raw recording files. To use this select the "Raw Recording" file type at the bottom right of the Open Archive dialog box.
