Release highlights
Defects Improvements
Introducing powerful enhancements to defect creation process, designed to significantly elevate your test management experience. In this update, we're thrilled to introduce two game-changing features that streamline defect creation and enhance collaboration.
Field Inheritance
Now, with the flexibility to configure at global level, you can inherit specific fields such as labels and components automatically from the parent entities (test execution, test, or both) into the created defect.
This customization empowers you to align defect attributes seamlessly with your project requirements, saving time and ensuring consistency across your testing processes.
Automated Evidence Attachment
Say goodbye to manual efforts! With our latest update, all evidences captured and attached to a test step will be automatically linked to the newly created defect.
This automation eliminates redundant tasks, streamlining the defect creation process and ensuring that crucial information is readily available for analysis and resolution.
New Global Settings for Enhanced Control
In this release, we're unveiling Feature Controls, allowing you to fine-tune specific aspects of your experience. This is just the beginning of a series of enhancements aimed at providing you with unparalleled customisation options.
In-App Chat Support
Take control of your support preferences by enabling or disabling in-app chat support globally.
This is the first of many features that you can now personalize according to your workflow.
Notifications
Customise your notification experience with global settings. Choose which notifications are vital for your workflow and configure them to align with your needs.
Notification bubble
Gain control over notification bubble globally. Decide whether you want them enabled or disabled for a clutter-free workspace. Your preferences matter, and this is just the starting point.
We are committed to providing you with a highly customizable experience. In upcoming releases, expect even more control over various features, allowing you to shape your application to suit your unique requirements.
