specifications trees
* Ability to sort all the main tree's items per name or per id (combobox in the tree's toolbar)
- Server settings to specify the default sorting for all trees
- User preferences to specify the default sorting for all trees
* Manual testing: Assistant for bug auto-generation
- Setting to display or not the assistant
- Setting to expect at least one bug on each failed test
- Available for tabular_manual, tabular_step_manual and tree_step_manual launcher
* Requirement's results statistics in the session and SUT paper report's source XML
* Test executability:
- Executability percentage automatically calculated from testcase's "ready for manual/automated run" flags
- Executability viewable directly in the tree
* Test status
- Tests have now a status fields allowing to track if the tests are new, under review or reviewed/approved
- Each test status viewable directly in the tree
- Paper reports includes test status information in summary, metrics, details, traceability matrix etc.
- Supported in import from XML and Excel
* Add a start and stop date for each SUT to delimit the expected boundaries for each SUT
* New unique coverage calculation
- At each level of the traceability matrix, all important properties are used to estimate the real coverage
including manual estimation, status, prioritiy, executability of each item.
More specifically:
. Each SUT's Manual estimation of coverage in terms of requirements
(i.e. business provided only 75% of the requirements)
. Each requirement's Manual estimation of coverage in terms of specification or tests
. Each requirement's status
(new items are less taken into account than under review or approved items)
. Each requirement's priority
(low-priority items are less taken into account than medium or high priority items)
. Each specification's Manual estimation of coverage in terms of tests
. Each specification's status
. Each specification's priority
. Each test's status
. Each test's priority
. Each test's executability
- Customization of the calculation:
. Each status value can be associated with a custom weight
. Each priority value can be associated with a custom weigth
* New graph on SUTs (and SUT folders) showing progress of all coverage and quality metrics within the SUT's
start and stop dates (auto-range if dates are left empty) (only with XStudio Business+)
. Coverage in terms of requirements
. Coverage in terms of specifications
. Coverage in terms of tests
. Quality score
. Includes this graph in SUT paper report
* New graph on SUTs showing testcase results per requirement type (ISO 25000 - SQuaRE)
* Server-side historization of the metrics:
- Scheduling of the daily process is configurable from the GUI
- Historization daily process stores: category statistics, defect statistics, SUT coverage and quality
* First stable version of XStudio.web for requirements (browser-based version of XStudio) including:
- Drag'n drop ability to move items within the trees
- Full-responsiveness with specific layouts/gestures for smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android)
- 100% based on the new REST API (http/json)
- User-right access handling
* New panel showing detailed tests and testcases results related to each requirement as a filterable grid
* Makes the remaining Progress number column clearer:
- Numbers: display the NE+NA or just NE if "NA are ignored in progress and quality metrics"
- Time: do not count NA if "NA are ignored in progress and quality metrics"
* Progress indicator when updating the schema
* Performance: Always run the background the refresh threads with higher priorities
* Better robustness on the background threading (atomic concurrent access implementation)
* Ability to establish a SSH tunnel using the credentials provided in the login screen
* "Relative" status renamed to "Indefinite"
* Option to pre-initialize all the steps of all testcases to Not Executed (NE) (if they have a procedure defined)
at session creation time
* REST API
- More methods available (http://www.xqual.com/documentation/developer_guide/rest_api.html for more details)
- Better error management
- Better trace formatting
* Bug-fix:
- Couldn't see the test and testcase results real-teim when using the tree_step_manual launcher
- Rounding approximation could generate inconsistencies in coverage computation
- Requirement coverage in terms of specification: wrong typing of sumPriorityXCoverageN1 (long rather than double)
that could lead to incorrectness of the coverage index
- Duplicate testcases in the SUT > results > requirements view in some specific cases
- When getting quality progress on a newly created SUT with no requirement/specifications/tests attached,
an error is popuped

3 new boolean settings in the "Advanced" section:
Link a requirement to a SUT sets the SUT's coverage to 100% by default
Link a test or a specification to a requirement sets the requirement's coverage to 100% by default
Link a test to a specification sets the specification's coverage to 100% by default

New TestOptimal launcher
BUG FIXES:
Severals issues with the integrated screenshot tool related to window's focus.
Now, when you click on the screenshot area button, all the other XStuio's related windows (including the manual launcher's GUI) are minimized automatically so that you can select the area you want to capture right away. When the capture is done, all the XStudio windows are back in the right order.
The Area screen capture tool is also now always on top of all the other windows.
Import from Excel: path ending with / were ignored
Couldn't create some holidays (as the dialog is not modal and its parent is)
Test scanner throws an exception if the user is not admin
The test scanner does not cleanup old imports so could re-import the same data again and again
Attempt to fix the random "StateInvariantError: GlyphView: Stale view: length must be positive" error
Exception thrown when refreshing either the public or private tracks
With a session containing tests from 2 distinct categories both associated with tabular_manual.jar/tabular_step_manual.jar/tree_step_manual.jar, resetting ALL the results at once generates a NPE
When creating a new category, an "empty" launcher is selected in the picker. One of the manual launcher should be selected by default
Attempt to bug-fix an extremely rare random NPE when a new popup is displayed(because of the custom company icon)
SUT > Bug found: the "All" category is actually containing the bugs manually set to a bug (wrong labeling)
SUT > Bug found (Manually set): only possible using the integrated bug-tracking database, so the tab should be hidden with third-party bug-tracking
- SUT > Bug fixed: only possible using the integrated bug-tracking database, so the tab should be hidden with third-party bug-tracking
Bug found/fixed: refresh button useless, so should be removed
Bug found/fixed: select filter should be locked to set (or it would be misleading to get all the bugs and not only the linked ones)
Missing campaign session # in summary of the SUT paper reports
Missing localization
Remove deprecated JVM options inserted in the JMeter launcher
Ugly java icon in the task bar when booting the program while retrieving the data
With generic defects, a few report may have missed some data

Ability to specify the following default settings when creating a new testcase:
ready for manual run
ready for automated run
Bug-fix:
When a bug or requirement description is null keep the text field empty (GUI + report)
When the user edits manually in plain-text a password directly in a conf file, an exception is thrown (this should be nicely handled)
In the last 30 days of validity of a license, if some custom visuals are set, some incorrect messages are displayed informing that the license does not include the rights to use custom visuals
Several issues when using a rich-text editor in the settings
Check if there is a new version only if current version is NOT a beta (b*), an alpha (a*) or a development version (d*)
When creating a file if some intermediate folders where missing, the file was not created
JIRA: Depending on the filtering, if more than 1000 issues are retrievable from one project, none was actually retrieved
In some very rare cases, creation of local directories was failing when the full path was not existing
In the session report "Table_to_copy_in_Excel", messages were missing - the "Info" status was invisible (icon + label) in all the reports
More explicit message when the creation operations are blocked
When referencing a reusable testcase in a test from a testcase, if we do not select the source reusable testcase, a NPE is thrown
Robot framework + robot framework v2 launchers: some successful test can includes steps with failures (internal test that will condition how the test is supposed to continue). So, even if we continue to parse the whole xml log to have details steps, the global status is taken from the top test status node
When merging sessions, we prefer reporting at folder level or SUT level the merged results rather than the original results. So the merged results are stored at the original kept result's timestamp + 1s
Should not set lower case the XML-RPC proxy calls!
Better handling of creation/deletion of attachments when using a shared folder when there is networking issues
The REST-API server throws an exception during initialization when deployed on Tomcat 8 (works well on Tomcat 6 and 7) due to getRealPath() recent changes in Tomcat
When a launcher reports executionSteps without step and/or check, it should not be stored with empty steps and/or checks but with NO step and NO check "Delete folder" rights needed to empty a folder also

Campaign session > Bugs refresh does not work
When creating a third-party bug from a manual test interface, it was appearing as linked to the test in the "Results" > "TreeView" tab but not in the "Bugs" tab (after a refresh, it was visible though).

Simple_manual, Tabular_manual, Tabular_step_manual, Tree_step_manual: when there is no testcase description, do not display it
In the campaign folder or campaign tree view results, tests with UNKNOWN result where colored in white
instead of orange
- When removing tests from a campaign, inform the user that the results of those tests (obtained from the
sessions within the campaign) have to be deleted (giving him the opportunity to cancel).
- Message "Initialization" set by default on all testcases when creating a manual test campaign with
certain launchers
- When rich-text on procedure is not enabled, result toolbar is not condensed (so cropped)
- JTidy: Use error code rather than messages (subject to localization) to filter out the warnings to filter

(i.e. colored terms, parameter values etc.) only the last one was maintained in the results message so
as in reporting
- With some of the manual launchers, when there are embedded images in the procedure they were ignored in
the results messages so as in reporting

When trying to restart a manual campaign executed remotely on a XAgent started with an alias, the session terminates immediately
When using SMB storage for attachments and using XStudio from the browser if you change the SMB account's password, this results in saving a xstudio.conf file including the password in clear text (not encrypted as it should) and an exception occurs at the first attempt to decrypt it
Some progress were displayed as 1% while they was supposed to show 0%
Better traces when there is a problem connecting to the shared SMB drive
Rights necessary to see various results sub-tabs were sometime wrongly evaluated
When filtering a results comparison table, the resulting filtered table may refresh at the wrong index of the parent tabbed pane
Selected additional columns in the steps results grid were not memorized when selecting another node including that metric. This could also lead to exception when trying to unselect/preselected but not visible column from the column picker
