  • The following Mac keyboard shortcuts changed: Command+Comma (,) now opens the User Options dialog box and Command+Shift+Comma now opens the Go To Location dialog box.
  • The Qt libraries used to build TestTrack 2016 were upgraded to Qt 5.5.1. This Qt version includes a scripting engine that uses floating point number approximations. These approximations cause less precise rounding of calculated custom field values that use the parseFloat function. Calculated values for these fields may be different than in earlier TestTrack versions. We recommend updating the formulas for these custom fields to also use the toFixed or toPrecision function for more precise calculations.
