Testcase Versioning

Data Center Server

Testcase history that allows users to look at older versions of testcases and override the current version with other versions
  • User can now see version number with created test case
  • On Updating, edit test case, Version number will be updated
  • Shared test case across release will retain the same version in parent and child hierarchy
  • Search and Viewing Version History supported
  • Clone, Copy, Move, Import and Export scenarios supported retaining same version number

Zephyr Internal Defect Tracking System

Data Center Server

Added a defect tracking system that is managed by the Zephyr Enterprise system
  • User can now also set the defect tracking system to DT internal
  • Create defect, Search, Modify, Link defect, upload attachment and de-linking scenarios supported
  • Administrator can create users in user management and view in users tab of defect admin application
  • User can track status of defects through 3 gadgets- Add Defect, Add Overall Defect and Add Traceability
  • User can search test case and test cycles linked to defect

Project Reporting

Data Center Server

New project module that includes new metric information based on the project:

  • Test Case Execution Progress
  • Trend Chart by Status
  • Trend Chart by User
  • Execution Status Gadget will display no. of executions by status over cycles and phase in a release
  • New added Bar charts will display no. of executions by status or users over time (7 days, 1 month and 3 months)
Managers, Leads
User Preferences

Data Center Server

Changes made to grid views will now be remembered
  • User's last selection is preserved after URL refresh
  • Navigation to 1 app to another-preserves tree structure, grid selection, page count selection, page size selection and folder view/search view selection

Execution View Improvements

Data Center Server

Changed the way executions are viewed into two main views: My Executions and All Executions
  • My Executions: Able to view all test cases assigned to current user
  1. + include Anyone option included
  2. Execute, Export , Re-execute, Add attachment, create a defect in execution tab scenarios supported
  • All Executions: User can see all test cases to other users if permission enabled
  • Tester can execute other test cases if permission enabled
  • Execute, Link defect, Re-Execute, Add attachment, create a defect in execute tab scenario supported
Testers

Vortex Version 2

(ZAutomation) Improvements

Data Center Server

Integration with additional automation frameworks and additional scenarios supported 
  • User can select JUNIT, Eggplant, TestNG and Cucumber testing framework | Already supported Selenium, UFT and Tosca
  • Behavior Driven Development BDD Implemeted with Cucumber
  • Bulk Execute, Bulk Delete Saved jobs and Edit already saved job scenario supported
  • Execution attachment results will be provided to user on job failure
  • User can monitor configured jobs with Folder Watcher feature
    1. Will save user time to create multiple jobs
    2. Maintained by ZBOT for any changes once configured
    3.Start and Stop of Folder Observation job supported
  • Test Lead and Test Manager can assign executions to specific users in enterprise platform
Leads, Testers
Custom Field Improvements

Data Center Server

Database no longer requires locking to add or edit custom fields
  • Managers will no longer need to halt operations or wait until no one is using the system to make custom field changes
Managers
HP ALM Adaptor

Data Center Server

Enables data migration from HP ALM to Zephyr Enterprise platform
  • Supported migration for projects, users, requirements, test cases, custom field, test case and requirement attachments, cycles and executions
Leads, Testers

Cyclone Version 1(Advanced Analytics)

Data Center Server

3 new advanced analytics and

machine learning enabled test case executions

  • Efficiency Improvement Predictions-Machine Learning model to predict based on historical data how many test cases have probability of failure and how many test cases with high probability of failure
  • Process Improvement Prediction-Predict the no. of bugs in each release based on past release and complexity of release
  • Test Case Execution: Plan vs Actual-Chart to display test execution progress which can show how close actual execution is with planned and additional resources required if any
  • Most Executed and Most failed test cases: Chart to display most executed test cases and most failed test case -Useful for dev team to assess implementations and QA team to identify test cases to be automated
