Following on from our initial Dragonfly release, and according to the feedback from our users, TestGear has made some improvements. We have added in new long-awaited features including Dynamic Test Suites as well as other updates to optimize your testing performance.
Dynamic Test Suites are now available.
Dynamic test suites is a new way to define what tests should be included in the test plan. Unlike traditional tests suites that contain a fixed set of tests, dynamic test suites include tests based on a criteria such as status, priority or any user-defined attributes.
They are automatically updated whenever those attributes change, keeping the test plan always up to date without any additional effort.
For example, you can create a dynamic test suite that contains all the tests with tag ‘smoke’ to always run up-to-date set of tests related to the smoke testing.
Test plan top level now shows all content from the test suites within the plan so that you can observe the whole test plan in one place.
Now you can select how to view manual tests as a plain list or in the new format where tests are grouped by the section where they reside.
A background tasks mechanism has been included allowing you to continue working with TestGear even during the largest and most time-consuming import and export routines.
New permissions in project roles have been added for archive management so that granular management of archives is achievable with ease.
PATCH methods are now available for easily updating any attribute of work item instead of recreating whole resources completely.
Attachments can now be uploaded to work items through API.
TestGear launched its feature packed release: Dragonfly, with an all-new UI and loaded with new features and improvements to enhance your experience and help organize your workflow.
