Release Notes 8.23.0

The individual Test Suite copy operation now supports copying for a specific combination of Release, Cycle, and up to five Platforms, with additional options to include execution status, latest linked test case versions, assignee, and planned dates. For e-signature-enabled projects, the only option available is to copy the latest approved versions of linked test cases.

The Bulk Copy of Test Suites is enhanced to support two additional options -

Bulk operations on the execution screen now include a new option to add execution comments for multiple test cases. Testers can also add execution comments when updating execution statuses in bulk.

Bulk operation to update assignee on the Execution Screen now allows unassigning testcase executions in bulk.

Bulk operations on the Execution Screen now run in the background for improved performance. Users can track the progress of these operations under the "Scheduled Tasks".

Introduced a project setting that lets admins toggle off the option for users to automatically sync executions with the latest version when creating a new test case version. This setting is available only for projects without eSignature enabled and helps preserve execution details for prior versions by preventing unintentional force-sync during creation.

Moving or copying test assets to another project will now include cascading-type custom fields and their selected values, ensuring all data remains intact during these operations.

Cascading lists and their values can now be copied or imported between projects, making list management easier for project administrators.

Enabled support for the WITH clause in SQL queries, empowering users to build custom reports using Common Table Expressions (CTEs) within the Advanced Query Reports module.

QMetry Insights (Visual and Advanced Query modules) now supports displaying cascading fields as columns in custom reports, whether the fields are created in QMetry or synced fromJira work items.

The Assignee and Owner dropdowns now display the logged-in user at the top for quickerself-assignment and easier filtering of items assigned to themselves.

Introduced a shortcut to quickly assign the current user as the owner of test assets while creating or editing them.

To ensure compatibility with QMetry Release v8.23, customers using Jira Data Centre must upgrade the QMetry Integration for Jira app to version 2.3.7 for Jira 10 or to version 2.3.7_jira9 for Jira 9 and earlier.

Users must upgrade their QMetry Exploratory Testing browser extension to the latest version to ensure compatibility with QMetry Release 8.23. The latest versions of extensions are:Chrome 1.2.9, Firefox 1.1.2, and Edge 1.0.8.

Fixed a bug that prevented users with Project Collection Administrator permissions inherited through a group from configuring the "QMetry Test Management" extension in Azure DevOps.

Fixed a bug that caused bulk move and archive operations to fail for test cases imported through feature files (BDD import).

Fixed a bug that caused the Execution Status dropdown to extend off-screen when expanding a test execution near the bottom of the browser window.

Fixed a bug that caused child test cases from subfolders to be excluded when filtering test cases by a parent folder path in the Test Suite.

Fixed a bug that caused SQL queries in Advance Query Reports using CTE with UNION to bypass project-level permissions.

Fixed a bug that caused users to be logged out and redirected to the login page when opening Test Suite, Test Case, or Requirements folder URLs in a new Firefox tab, affecting all open QMetry tabs.

Fixed a bug that caused all test cases to be exported, ignoring applied filters, when using the “Export All Records” option in the Test Cases module.

Fixed a bug that linked multiple versions of a test case to a new Test Suite, including all previously selected versions instead of only the final selected version. 

Fixed a bug that caused Jira user authentication to fail for QMetry integrations when using Jira Cloud with a custom domain URL, impacting the ability to add attachments and post comments to Jira issues from QMetry.

Fixed a bug that caused exported test suite execution documents (PDF/Word) to fail downloading when the associated Release or Cycle name contained square brackets “[ ]”.

Fixed a bug that caused the QMetry panel in Jira to occupy excessive space on Jira pages when no test cases were linked or the BDD section was disabled, causing inconvenience due to unnecessary scrolling.
