Test case folders could not be moved out of nested structures, causing deletion issues during copy-paste

Previously, the folders nested inside other folders could not be restored to the root, sometimes leading to accidental loss of test cases during copy-paste. Now, with the new Make Root Folder option, you can easily move folders to the root without losing any test cases or data.

Database Tags are now Supported

For Database actions, users can now provide Database Tags which will reduce the need to remember multiple database number.

Zephyr Scale Enhancement

  1. Sync Test Case button is provided in mapping window which will fetch the Zephyr Scale Test Cases into Avo Database for accessing the Test Case.

  2. Zephyr Scale Test Cases are stored in Avo DB, enabling improved search functionality. Users can search for Test Cases based on their requirements even when the Test Cases are not fully loaded.

Xray Enhancement

  1. With this enhancement, by clicking Sync Test Case button user will import Xray Test Cases in Avo DB and simultaneously those Test Cases will be exported in folder structure for mapping

  2. Xray Test Cases are stored in Avo DB, enabling improved search functionality. Users can search for Test Cases based on their requirements even when the Test Cases are not fully loaded.

  3. With this enhancement, user can store and display the Xray Test Cases according to their folder structure

Capturing Shadow Root Elements is Possible

It was not possible to capture shadow root element properties from the AUT, as they changed dynamically while capturing the element using any capturing method. Now, users can capture shadow root element properties using the Visible and All capturing methods.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Refer to the table below to learn more about the bugs addressed along with the respective benefits.

Bug
Description

Slow Response when Skipping/Un-skipping Test Steps

Selecting or clearing test step checkboxes to skip or un-skip caused slow response and screen freeze. This issue is now resolved, and the screen responds promptly during checkbox interactions.

Thin Scrollbar in Left Navigation Pane

While scrolling through the Element Repository and Test Case, the scrollbar in the left navigation panel appeared too thin, making drag-and-drop actions difficult. This issue is resolved, and the scrollbar is now easier to use and control.

Export Data (DB) Keyword Supports Output Variables

The Export Data (DB) keyword now works with output variables in the syntax, removing the need to hard-code values.

Element Repository Scroll Fails to Show Last Items

While scrolling through the Element Repository, some of the last elements do not appear. This issue is now resolved, and users can view all elements, including the last ones.

Slow Loading of Test Cycles from Zephyr Scale

Fixed an issue where Zephyr Scale takes excessive time to load Test Cycles, appearing to hang indefinitely. Test Cycles now load faster and respond as expected.

GetObject action

The issue with GetObject action is now resolved and the action is working as expected

Fixed If–Else–EndIf Conditional Statements.

Previously, If–Else–EndIf statements were not displaying their execution status correctly in the Report module. Users can now view accurate results, where an:

  • When the condition is true, the If step is marked as PASS and Else is ignored.

  • When the condition is false, the If step is marked as FAIL and Else as PASS.

  • EndIf is always marked as PASS, as it does not involve any validation logic.

Fixed Start Iteration, End Iteration, Jump By and End Loop Steps Execution

Previously, Start Iteration, End Iteration, Jump By, and End Loop steps were getting marked as failed in reports. Users can now see the correct behavior, where these steps are displayed as PASS in the report since they contain no validation logic. The Jump By step is marked as PASS if it successfully jumps to the specified step in the test case.

Fixed Issue with Cut and Paste of Elements

Users can now Cut and Paste elements between repositories. The selected elements are moved from the source repository and added to the target repository. Learn more

Fixed Issue with Capturing data-el-id and Element Attributes in Edge and Chrome

Previously, checkboxes with the data-el-id attribute were not captured correctly in Edge and Chrome during automation. Users can now capture data-el-id and other element attributes across all supported browsers.

Fixed Incorrect Display of Modified Label for Reused Test Step Groups

Previously, Test Step Groups marked as Reused were always labeled as Reused & Modified. Now, the Modified label appears only when changes are made after marking the group as Reused.

Fixed Slow Loading Issue While Switching Tabs in Element Repository and Test Step Groups for Test Cases

Previously, switching between tabs in the Element Repository and Test Step Groups caused delays due to slow data loading. With this enhancement, data now loads more quickly under normal network conditions, ensuring smoother and faster navigation.

Fixed Issue with Capturing Disabled Elements During Manual and Auto Selection

Previously, disabled elements were not captured correctly using manual or auto selection methods. Disabled elements are now accurately identified along with their attributes and values, ensuring consistent behavior across all supported browsers.

Fixed Issue with Pushing Excel Files from Shared Network Drive to Bitbucket

Previously, Excel files stored on shared network drives were not pushed to Bitbucket with test cases due to path recognition issues. Files placed in shared drives are now correctly detected and pushed along with test cases, while preserving their original content

Fixed Issue with Unchecking Selected Test Cases in Zephyr Scale

Previously, users were unable to clear test cases in Zephyr after syncing. Users can now select and clear test cases seamlessly, with the UI instantly reflecting changes.

Fixed Sorting Issue with Sort Table and Verify Sort Table Actions

Previously, Sort Table and Verify Sort Table keywords failed to sort correctly in the application. Both Actions are now works as expected, with accurate sorting and verification

Fixed Element Placement Issue in Last Row of Test Step Groups

Previously, when dragging an element from the repository to the last row of a Test Step Group, it was getting added to the second-last row instead of the last one. Now, the element goes to the last row as expected.

Fixed Report Performance for Large Iterations.

Previously, reports containing Test Step Groups with a large number of iterations caused the report page to become unresponsive, making it difficult to view execution results. Reports now load efficiently and remain stable, regardless of the number of Test Steps.

Fixed Execution Mode Behavior of Jump to TestStep Action.

Previously, the Jump to TestStep Action behaved differently in Debug and Execution modes. It now functions uniformly in both modes, ensuring execution from the step immediately after the jump.

Fixed Dashboard Screen Dropdown Value Retrieval Issues.

Previously, the selected dropdown values were not displaying while performing automation. Users can now view all available dropdown values and select a value either by index or text, enabling smoother automation workflows.
