Enhanced Migration Efficiency

The cornerstone of this latest version is our optimised cloud migration framework, which has been meticulously engineered to significantly reduce the time required for migrations.
This enhancement is a result of several key improvements:Optimised Data Transfer - We have implemented advanced algorithms that optimize the way data is packaged and transferred to the cloud. This results in a more efficient use of bandwidth and quicker data upload times.
Reduced Downtime - Understanding the importance of continuous operation, the updated framework is designed to minimize downtime. Critical data and functionalities are prioritized, ensuring that the most essential components are migrated first and quickly made operational in the cloud environment.
  • Scalability - The framework is built to handle migrations of varying sizes, from small projects to large-scale enterprise migrations, without a significant impact on performance or speed.

    • These improvements collectively contribute to a more efficient migration process, allowing users to enjoy the benefits of cloud-based solutions with minimal disruption to their ongoing operations.

    Image RemovedImage Added


    We understand that migration to the cloud can be a complex and daunting task. Therefore, we have concentrated our efforts on making this process as seamless and user-friendly as possible, ensuring that our users can leverage the full potential of cloud technology with ease and confidence.
    This pivotal feature provides users with all the tools required to plan their migration path to the cloud, and to better help our customer we added the following features:Improvements to the project selection - This new approach to project selection by displaying the projects on a grid will greatly optimize the selection of the projects by having more information and better selection process.
    Filters - Users are now able to quickly filter the results according to project usage and/or categories to quickly define the set of projects to validate.
    Sorting and enhanced search - Users can now quickly paste a comma separated list with project keys, allowing to quickly select multiple dependent projects and re-run the validation if project selection needs to be changed.
    Estimated Migration Time - To aid in comprehensive planning, estimated migration times are now displayed at project level. This estimation takes into account various factors such as project size, attachment volume to provide timelines for migration completion.
    Attachment sizes - With this information we empower users with the ability to check attachment sizes per project, offering detailed insights for more accurate migration planning. This option is crucial in assessing data volume and preparing for a smooth migration process.
  • Project usage - Understanding last time a project has been updated allows planning migration in different phases, and/or not selecting projects that may have become deprecated.

    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.




    Just one more, yet important, thing...
