English Changelog test.guide

[FIXED]: Various artifact management operations (uploading, downloading and deleting artifacts) could no longer be performed under certain conditions due to architectural changes. These operations can now be executed reliably again.

[FEATURE]: The POST endpoint /api/export/atx/{reportid} in the Report Management REST API has been extended by the parameter useExportStorage.

[FEATURE]: test.guide now also supports the synchronization of system groups via OpenId Connect. The synchronization of a user’s system groups takes place at the moment of login (for technical reasons, periodic synchronization in the background is not possible).

[DEPRECATED]: The existing REST-API endpoint: api/report/{reportid} is deprecated in favor of the new endpoint api/report/reports/{reportid} and will be removed in one of the next releases.

[DEPRECATED]: The test bench configuration with the category XIL/ECU-TEST is deprecated and will be removed in one of the next releases. Instead, the ResourceAdapter sends the same configuration value with the category XIL/ecu.test if the execution plug-in is configured.

[DEPRECATED]: The endpoint /api/download-file/ResourceAdapter of the Monitoring API is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The new Test Infrastructure REST API endpoint GET /api/testinfrastructure/resourceadapter/download can be used instead of the deprecated endpoint.

[DEPRECATED]: Direct linking to TestResourceMachine detail pages (also known as testbench detail pages) via the ResourceLocationId elements in the URL will be removed in a future release. These pages can now be linked via the TrmId. Please adjust any bookmarks accordingly. Suitable parameters for the links can be created using the share function on the respective page.

[DEPRECATED]: The following features will be discontinued due to non-use and will be permanently removed in one of the next releases. If a functionality is still required, please let us know.

[DEPRECATED]: The legacy REST-API version 2 for SCM configurations under …​/api/v2/scm is deprecated and will be removed in one of the next releases, instead the new REST-API for SCM configurations under …​/api/v3/scm can be used.

ATTENTION!!!: When this new test.guide version is launched, it will automatically migrate the report database to optimize performance. It is recommended to back up the database before starting the migration. The migration step can take up to one hour, depending on the amount of data. During this time, NO access to test.guide is possible.

[FEATURE]: After allowing different artifacts to be published as links in the artifact management in test.guide, it is now also possible with ecu.test 2024.1 to publish files as a link / reference, which has the great advantage that these files do not have to be explicitly uploaded to test.guide itself.

[FEATURE]: There is a new project permission for managing SCM configurations: Manage SCM configurations.

[CHANGED]: New limits have been set for exporting test case execution data or coverage filters to Excel to avoid unnecessary exports when the number of rows is too large and beyond Excel’s limits.

[FEATURE]: With the help of the extended Report Management REST API, it is now possible to retrieve all reviews of a test case execution instead of just the last review carried out as before.

[FEATURE]: As a ServerManager, it is now easy to deactivate inactive users in projects. These users receive an email when they have been deactivated in the projects and no longer take a licence in test.guide.

[CHANGED]: The test infrastructure REST-API endpoint DELETE /api/testinfrastructure/testresourcemachine/{testResourceMachineId} now also deletes all data attached to the TestResourceMachine in addition to the TRM-ID. Because this action is performed asynchronously in a task, the response code has been changed from 204 to 202. The response body contains the generated task id.

[FIXED]: It could happen that the Excel export failed because the temp directory was automatically cleared by the operating system and a special folder was no longer available for the export. The export is now using a different strategy that is not affected by this.

[FEATURE]: Project filters can now be shared via a link, e.g. a project filter link can simply be stored in the team Confluence space for everyone.

[FEATURE]: The project user management has been enhanced. For example, you can now quickly filter for users in the project who have not yet been activated.

[FEATURE]: Storage configurations in artifact management can be tested before saving, by uploading a file to the storage, downloading it again and then deleting it.

[CHANGED]: The review templates are now also available for bulk reviews. However, context-dependent test case execution variables such as constants are not replaced, as these sometimes cannot be determined.

[DEPRECATED]: The test bench configuration with the category XIL/ECU-TEST is deprecated and will be removed in one of the next releases. Instead, the ResourceAdapter sends the same configuration value with the category XIL/ecu.test if the execution plug-in is configured.

[DEPRECATED]: Due to the expiring support for Java 11, the ResourceAdapter must also be updated to Java 17. Unfortunately this is not possible by the AutoUpdate function due to technical reasons. A manual with the necessary update steps (ResourceAdapterUpdateReadme.txt) can be found in the installation directory of the ResourceAdapter and in the ResourceAdapter package, which can be downloaded via test.guide. The update can be done immediately. However, Java 11 is still supported by the ResourceAdapter until release 1.166.0.

[FIXED]: When using the report filter to export test case executions to a test management tool, it was not possible to enter personal access data because the corresponding form fields could not be selected. Thus, an export could not take place if personal access data had to be used. The form fields are now selectable and writable.

ATTENTION!!!: When this new test.guide version is launched, it will automatically migrate the report database to optimize performance. It is recommended to back up the database before starting the migration. The migration step can take up to two hours, depending on the amount of data.

These elements must always be replaced when called.

[DEPRECATED]: The attributes field of an artifact and the REST API endpoints GET /artifacts and GET /artifacts/{artifactId} is deprecated.

[DEPRECATED]: Some deprecated endpoints of the Monitoring API will be removed in a future release. Alternatives in the new API (v2) are listed in the table in Release 1.130.0, if available. Please contact us, when you need a deprecated endpoint that cannot be replaced by an alternative.
