Major Features and Enhancements
Zephyr can now get a list of user groups from your SAML identity provider and add users to the corresponding groups in Zephyr. This can be done if you specify the name of a SAML attribute containing a list of groups in the Group field on the Administration > Authentication page. Note that the groups must be created in Zephyr in advance and they must have the same names as those in the identity provider:
To share and copy test cases, you can now use the new Share Tests and Copy Tests items of the context menu invoked on the Test Repository page.
Improved export of reports. Below is a list of changes made to the Customize and Export Reports dialog:
The Defect Status field can now be added to your reports in this dialog.
The list of fields now includes custom fields defined for test cases.
Clicking the new Save as Default button makes the current configuration the default one.
Zephyr administrators can now add a banner informing about downtime or maintenance. The banner is shown at the top of all pages and is visible to all users even if they are not logged in. The banner is added in the Administration > System Setup > Customizations > Announcement Banner dialog:
The Assign Test Cases to Execute page now has a filter you can use to search for test cases:
Zephyr administrators can now get a notification when the number of licensed users reaches certain threshold. The threshold value is specified on the System Setup > Customizations > Miscellaneous page. The default value is 90%. You can also find the maximum usage value on the About Zephyr page and download a CSV file containing license usage data.
The start date of a release can now be earlier than the start date of the project, and the release end date can be later than the project's end date.
You can now export more than 1,048,575 rows of data (this is the Excel line limit). In the exported file, the data will be organized into multiple sheets.
Now when you reach the last folder when drilling down a Test Case Execution Progress report, the folder name is shown instead of Unallocated in the last folder and you get a message informing that there is no further drill down.
Now if the imported tests have a hierarchy, the imported folders and test cases are placed directly in the Imported folder, they are not added to the selected release folder.
Now if you change a custom field's project association from All Projects to specific projects, the field value will be kept.
You can now move a top-level parent folder to another top-level parent folder.
