XStudio Changelog

What's new in XStudio 2.4

Oct 6, 2015

Add all the bugs details in SUT reports + split the bugs manually set from the bug found through failed test
Settings:
ability to invert the order of Submit and Cancel buttons in all the dialogs/forms
3 new boolean settings in the "Advanced" section:
Link a requirement to a SUT sets the SUT's coverage to 100% by default
Link a test or a specification to a requirement sets the requirement's coverage to 100% by default
Link a test to a specification sets the specification's coverage to 100% by default
When performing a dynamic search, restrict the search on visible nodes
Add a resize corner indicator on the screenshot tool so that it's obvious how to resize the area to capture.
In all the requirement's results tree, add the priority + risk in the tree
Improved/simplified the tabbing of the Create session and Copy session windows:
standardization of the tab order
gathering of all the monitoring tabs under a single "Monitoring" panel
gathering the attributes and params tabs under a single "Overloading" panel
Ability to rename the session while copying it
'Reset all results' confirmation dialogs always centered on the launcher window
'Reset comment' checkbox transparent background
Add all the details of the external (JIRA, Mantis, Bugzilla, Clearquest, QC, Trac, VersionOne) requirements
and bugs in the reports (in the raw XML and in Html when possible)
Always include a URL with external requirements/bugs in reports
Ability to select some test custom fields in the test result grids
Remember last dashboard tab selected (i.e. when doing a refresh)
Better error message when the user try to upload a file which size exceed what the database server can accept
Default timeframe longer (1.5year) for results progress graphics
Custom styles sheet for the javadoc
Better labeling for Bugs found in/fixed in etc.
Make the dependency graph looks nicer
New TestOptimal launcher
Bug-fix:
Severals issues with the integrated screenshot tool related to window's focus.
Now, when you click on the screenshot area button, all the other XStuio's related windows (including the
manual launcher's GUI) are minimized automatically so that you can select the area you want to capture
right away. When the capture is done, all the XStudio windows are back in the right order.
The Area screen capture tool is also now always on top of all the other windows.
Import from Excel: path ending with / were ignored
Couldn't create some holidays (as the dialog is not modal and its parent is)
Test scanner throws an exception if the user is not admin
The test scanner does not cleanup old imports so could re-import the same data again and again
Attempt to fix the random "StateInvariantError: GlyphView: Stale view: length must be positive" error
Exception thrown when refreshing either the public or private tracks
With a session containing tests from 2 distinct categories both associated with tabular_manual.jar/tabular_step_manual.jar/tree_step_manual.jar, resetting ALL the results at once generates a NPE
When creating a new category, an "empty" launcher is selected in the picker. One of the manual launcher should be selected by default
Attempt to bug-fix an extremely rare random NPE when a new popup is displayed (because of the custom company icon)
SUT > Bug found: the "All" category is actually containing the bugs manually set to a bug (wrong labeling)
SUT > Bug found (Manually set): only possible using the integrated bug-tracking database, so the tab
should be hidden with third-party bug-tracking
SUT > Bug fixed: only possible using the integrated bug-tracking database, so the tab should be hidden
with third-party bug-tracking
Bug found/fixed: refresh button useless, so should be removed
Bug found/fixed: select filter should be locked to set (or it would be misleading to get all the bugs and
not only the linked ones)
Missing campaign session # in summary of the SUT paper reports
Missing localization
Remove deprecated JVM options inserted in the JMeter launcher
Ugly java icon in the task bar when booting the program while retrieving the data
With generic defects, a few report may have missed some data

Risk Analysis module (wizard + manual setting, included in Search panel, reports and requirement filters)
Custom fields on tests and (different) custom fields on test cases
"ANY agent" option when creating a session (or a schedule) so that ANY agent on the network can execute the session
New statistics panel on:
Requirement folders (status, priority, risk break out)
Specification folders (status, priority break out)
Test folders (status, priority, testcase# break out)
Defect folders (status, priority, severity break out)
Inner relationships in between requirements
Inner relationships in between specifications
Robot Framework launcher (final)
Import Assets from Excel
User preferences: ability to overwrite some server settings on a per-user basis + save automatically some data such as:
The last main window position/dimension
The last split pane positions for each tree
Which columns to display for each tree
Ability to copy a test case in a different test
Refactored module to automatically select some requirements/tests (i.e. while creating a campaign) using 4 different "helpers":
Ability to create or reuse an existing stored (test or requirement) filter based on:
test's properties, priority, attributes etc.
requirement's priority, risk etc.
Ability to select 1-N SUTs (all requirements or tests linked to these SUTs will be ticked)
Ability to select 1-N requirements (all tests linked to these requirements will be ticked)
Ability to select 1 or more assets (all tests linked to at least one of these assets will be automatically selected)
All above filtering can be cumulated/executed several times to refine the selection.
When cumulating filterings, a widget allows picking the rule to apply: AND or OR
New XReportDebugger tool allowing to test easily custom XSLT reports
Test and requirement filters:
remove the type column which is useless
when adding a new expression, expand the parent and reselect the parent so that it's possible to recreate a new expresion without any additional click
when editing an expression, reselect it after the modification has been submitted
Add a title to the user (customizable in a specific table) to meet ISO's report format requirements
SUT rich-text description field
Option to create a session per asset (i.e. if you selected several environments you may want to generate 1 session per environment)
Ability to search by id Teams, Schedules, Projects, Sprints, Categories and Companies
TestNg launcher: support for class + methods (test=class + testcase=method)
New FitNesse launcher
New Sikulix launcher
Collapsible panel containing all the session information (operator, SUT, attachments and assets) on:
tabular_manual launcher
tabular_step_manual launcher
tree_step_manual launcher
Display in the tabular_manual.jar, tabular_step_manual.jar and tree_step_manual.jar launchers the test's assets
Add the assets information in the Test and Session reports (incl. description, screenshots etc.)
Set the non-executable tests at session creation time so BEFORE the session is actually started
When modifying the assets in a session and if the session has not yet been executed, update the not-executable tests.
Improved copy process:
Copy SUT: also links the new SUT with the source SUT's linked requirements
Copy requirement: also links the new requirement with the source requirement's linked specifications (or tests)
Copy specification: also links the new specification with the source specification's linked tests
Copy test: also links the new test with the source specifications (or requirements)
The same applies when copying entire folders
Custom fields, Attributes, Params panels: always pre-select a default item so that the edit button does something by default
After editing a test case custom field, refresh the asset tree (in case there is a currently selected reusable test case)
After editing a reusable test case, also refresh the test tree (in case there is a currently selected test case referring this reusable test case)
Search tests and test cases: ability to use test and test cases custom fields as search criteria
Add the test and test case's custom fields in the testplan, SUT and Session paper reports
Add the assets information in the Test and Session reports (incl. description, screenshots etc.)
Merge: when all the source sessions are under the same campaign, create the merged session under this campaign (do NOT create a new campaign then)
JavaFX capabilities
Anchors in lists use the same mechanism than the "search by id" widget (more robust)
Possibility to add custom Java option in the JNLP
MariaDb JDB driver included by default in the REST API Server to make deployment easier
Attachment: prefix changed to "AT_"
Default configuration for manual launchers (in new installation)
Include the import samples in the distribution
Bug-fix:
When refining a requirement local coverage, SUT tree should be refreshed
When refining a specification local coverage, SUT + Requirement trees should be refreshed
Test dependencies: protection against selecting source test as destination test
Removed useless "Custom fields" panel on Assets tree
When there is a (space), /// (slash) in a anchor/URL/link in rich-text, the link may not work
In some specific cases, when clicking on an internal anchor (i.e. in a results grid) pointing to a test case or an external URL (i.e. in an email notification), the redirection did not work
NullPointerException when running XReportDebugger with a custom company logo
Empty folder needs Delete folder rights
Track the changes when emptying a folder
JUnit launcher save the trace file in TestRootPath to avoid any potential issue with invalid/not-writable test canonical path
Test filter: shouldn't be able to add an expression at root level
When modifying the option about which agent can execute a schedule, the change may not have been saved
