Release Notes¶

Version 1.4.10¶

release date - 12/20/13

• persist pagesize settings
• support unmatched ``when`` and ``then`` syntax with bulk cases
• hover text for field on filter chicklets
• bug fixes * priority value not saved with bulk cases * cloning test case keeps suite setting * author unknown when add new version of existing test case * saving from edit pages preserves filtered lists

Version 1.4.9.2¶

release date - 12/18/13

• security fixes
• scroll to top when switching page - When in the manage/results list.

Version 1.4.9¶

release date - 9/9/13

• Performance optimizations - Went through many of the list screens and elsewhere and updated the django queries to optimize for performance. Also added several new db indexes to speed filtering and sorting.
• Travis CI support - Only developers will notice this, but now the unit tests are run by travis in Github to help us with determining the safety of a Pull Request.

Version 1.4.8¶

release date - 8/22/13

• test case priority field - The new field of priority has been added to test cases. You can set the priority of a case to 1, 2, 3 4 or no priority. You can filter and sort on this field as you can many other fields. See test cases for more info.
• filtering by tester in results - This allows you to see how many cases a specific tester has executed overall and for a specific run.
• fix to edit tag dialog - It wasn’t loading the available cases for a product-specific tag due to a bug.

Version 1.4.7¶

release date - 5/21/13

• new run results of ``blocked`` and ``skipped`` - Blocked result is for when a test cannot be executed because it is blocked by functionality that prevents even starting the test. Skipped result is so that a test manager can specify that a test in a run should not be tested. This removes the test from the % complete calculation and can only be set by a Test Manager or Admin. See: Result Statuses for more info
• filter lists sorted - The list of items in the advanced filtering are now sorted for your convenience. Why didn’t we do that before, you ask? Umm.. oops.
• run progress - The % complete for the test run in that environment now shows at the top of the page. It doesn’t yet update after each result is submitted, only on page load for now. This is actually a click-able link to see the result details.

Version 1.4.6¶

release date - 5/6/13

• sort on results in runtests - When you are executing a test run, you can now sort on the results field to help you find the tests that neither you, nor anyone else has executed yet. Or if filtering descending, it has the handy side-effect of sorting all failures to the top (since f comes before p).
• filter by test description - You can now filter by the description field of a test case. This is handy if you have some specific keywords, urls or filenames in the description that you need to find.

Version 1.4.5.5¶

release date - 4/2/13

• Scalability fixes around editing huge test suites

Version 1.4.5¶

release date - 3/28/2013

• Upgrade to Django 1.4.5
• Bug fix for order of cases - Test case order within suites was broken.
• Bug fix for repeated cases - It was possible, in some circumstances to have the same test case shown multiple times in a suite.

Version 1.4.4¶

release date - 3/22/2013

• Link to view result while running test - If you want to share the result you just found with someone, clicking the result icon (like passed / failed) will navigate you to the result for that test. You can then share that link or add it to a bug, etc.
• Case name sync - It ends up that having unique case names for different versions of the case is confusing. This is especially true when you are selecting cases for a suite. The screen must show you one of the case names so it shows you the latest case name. This may not be the one you’re thinking of if you’re working on an earlier product. So to simplify this, any time you save a case, it will make all the version of that case the same.
• Several bug fixes - please see Pivotal Tracker for details.

Version 1.4¶

release date - 1/22/2013

• Fill Product Version Cases - Added the ability to fill in case versions when they exist in one product version and not in another. This can be handy if you have created version 1.0 and 2.0 of your product in MozTrap, and have been adding new cases to 1.0 as you go. When it’s time for 2.0, you want all those new cases to get moved forward. In this case, edit the 2.0 Product Version to fill cases from 1.0. See Fill Case Versions for more info.
• Mass Tag / Untag Cases - If you want to add a new tag to lots of cases, you previously had to edit each case and add it. Now, if you edit the tag in question, and select the product for the cases, you will see a list of available and included cases for that tag. This makes it possible to merge tags. See Tags for info.
• Filter results by status - You can now filter results cases by passed, failed or invalidated.
• Page title shows location - You can no see where in the product you are by the page / tab title.
• other tweaks and bug fixes

Version 1.3.5¶

release date - 12/19/2012

• Pinned Filters - This feature allows you to pin a filter so that it remains constant for the session. This way, if you want to only see data for a particular product then you can pin the filter for it and everywhere you go, you only see data for that product. For more info, see pinned filters.
• See test results from other users - There has been an icon while running tests that indicates that another user has run it, and what that result is. And with this release, we added the comment from failed or invalid tests to the rollover text. In addition, this is now a button that will take you to the results details for that test case. See Results of others for more info.
• Edit cases while running - If you notice that a case needs updating while you are running it, there is now an Edit this case link in the upper right that will open a new tab to edit the contents of the case. See running tests for more info.
• minor bug fixes - New run series member sets start date to today, rather than that of the series itself. Creating a case, setting suite adds the case to the end of the suite order.

Version 1.3.2¶

release date - 12/18/2012

• Tag Descriptions - You can now add descriptions to tags. The result is that when you execute tests, the description is displayed for each case that has that tag. This is a handy way to make notes that apply to a group of cases, like preconditions, links, etc. As always, Markdown syntax is suported. See Tags for more info.
• Fixed refresh run bug - The test run refresh to get newly added cases was broken. Now fixed.

Version 1.3.1¶

release date - 12/10/2012

• Display all case versions - Formerly, when you looked at the manage | cases area, you would only see the latest version of each test case, unless you were filtering for a different version. This was confusing to many users, so now you see each distinct case version.
• Delete distinct case versions - Fixed where deleting one case version deleted all of them.
• Create case no version default - Many users were accidentally creating new cases for the latest version, when they meant to create it for an earlier version. Since the default for new cases is the latest version, this went un-noticed a lot. Removing the default makes it more deliberate.

Version 1.3¶

release date - 12/03/2012

• Sharable list links - When you have filtered a list somewhere in the system, you can click the link icon next to the filter field to bring up the url that you can share to show that list. This link honors pagination and all filters. And it can be used in the management area as well as results and in test runs. This can be especially nice if you want to tell a tester to run a specific set of test cases in a run. See Sharing Filters for more info.
• Test Run description while running tests - We added the test run description field to the top of the page while running tests. This field supports markdown, so you can put links and other instructions to your testers in there. This can be especially helpful to add links to creating a new bug in your bugsystem of choice. (You ARE using Bugzilla, aren’t you?) See Run Edit Fields for more info.
• Filtering performance - In some screens, the auto-complete filters were being displayed for every keystroke. Now they always wait till you’re done typing before showing auto-complete options.

Version 1.2.7¶

• Run activation scalability - Using some new features in Django 1.4 and a couple raw queries, we expanded support for test runs from ~700 cases to several thousand.
• Update active test runs - The new refresh button in the management area will update an active run to newly added or removed test cases. See Refreshing a Run for more information.
• Case import management command - The feature for importing cases would prevent you from importing duplicates, even if you wanted to. So added a param for that. It also accepts a directory of several files instead of just a single file.

Version 1.2.5¶

• Django 1.4.2 upgrade
• More non-ascii character fixes - Primarily in some views and messages.
• Split-the-work: When you and others are executing the same test run, for the same environment, you’ll see an icon on test cases where another tester has already submitted results. You can still submit your own result if you choose, but this way you don’t duplicate effort, if you don’t want to.

Version 1.2¶

• Test case ordering - As you drag and drop cases in the edit Suite screen, that order will be honored when users run your tests. Same goes for suites of test runs. So, the order will be first by suite, then by case within the suite. There is also a new field in the runtests area where, if you sorted by case name, you can re-sort by order, if you like.
• Performance fix for editing large suites - Scalability fix as thousands of cases had been entered into the system.
• Run Series: See Test Run Series for more info on this new feature.
• Better i18n support - Added more support for non-ascii characters.
