Integrate Worksoft CTM to launch the execution of Worksoft Suites directly from within QMetry. After completion of the execution, view the test cases and their execution results in QMetry.

Automation test result upload for the JUnit framework will now mark the Aborted and Skipped execution statutes with their matching custom execution statuses within the project. If these matching execution statuses are unavailable in the project, the upload process marks the test executions as Failed and Not Applicable, respectively.

QMetry has introduced an innovative AI-enabled product search feature, revolutionizing testers' ability to inquire and discover answers within their project documents to meet their specific testing requirements. QMetry accomplishes this by enabling administrators to upload project-specific documents in multiple formats like PDF, Word, and Confluence public spaces. QMetry utilizes these documents for search to locate the precise answers, providing a powerful tool for testers. As an organization expands, it accumulates a vast repository of institutional knowledge and project-related information stored within various documents. To ensure the successful execution of critical projects, it becomes vital to empower testing teams with effortless access to information in project-specific documentation, fostering on-the-go learning and enhancing the efficiency of their testing processes.

Users can also utilize the inbuilt product search to ask questions about QMetry product features and receive answers from the product user guide. The revolutionary AI search explains features in a summarized format, offers step-by-step guidance for how-to questions, provides best practices from the extensive knowledge base, and expertly navigates troubleshooting challenges.

To activate the QI search feature on all users and projects, the super administrator should enable it for the QMetry instance. The project administrators can later enable the search feature on their projects by configuring their project-specific documents.

Export test cases linked to the test suite in PDF and Word formats for review or sharing purposes. Users can choose which test case and step fields to include in the export.

Administrators can now control user access to the Login Summary Dashboard by utilizing newly introduced distinct permissions.

The Test Execution Summary by Folder reports now include the Test Suite Summary columns in the drill-down view, accompanied by the Key. This enhancement enables testers to identify and distinguish between suites more effectively.

For the QMetry Inbuilt Issue Module, now associate Issues with cycles along their respective releases. This capability enables users to efficiently monitor defects not tied to a specific test case or execution. Users will need to upgrade their exploratory testing plugin to the latest version to utilize the ability to associate issues created during testing with cycles.

Filter issues of Jira integrated projects based on custom fields when linking them to Requirements, Test Cases, and Test Executions.

On creating a test case from the requirement page, the user is now automatically navigated to the requirement's linked test case section, ensuring the focus remains on the requirement. The same flow is improved when creating a test case from the requirement list view.

Users can now view custom fields of test entities on the link screens. This feature allows testers to efficiently select test entities based on the combination and configurations of the customer fields, ensuring comprehensive coverage. The custom fields are available for display when linking requirements, test cases, test suites, and issues across the product.

The QMetry application is upgraded to Tomcat 10, enhancing security and reliability.
