What's New

Reporting Information

A new Reporting Information section is added to the Add Test Case Details and Create Test Runs pages. With this option, users can now include details such as the evaluation methodology used, domains, baseline level accessibility support and the technology used by the website or application while adding test case details.

To access the Reporting Information section in both the Add Test Case Details and Create Test Run pages, users need to enable the Enable Customize Reporting option on the Admin Settings page.

Generate Audit Report

A new option has been added to the Test Run Overview page. Users can generate the audit report after the test run is completed with the Generate Audit Report option. The audit report provides information on the completion date and time, the user's name who initiated the audit report, the generated date and time, test details, and the success criteria status. This button will be visible if the customized reporting option is enabled in Admin Settings page.

Adding Issues to an Existing Group

The Add to Existing Group option in the Issues section has been enhanced by adding a checkbox to the existing group names. Users can now select the group name by checking the appropriate checkbox to add the issues.

Users can now add or remove a specific group from an issue. To perform this action, a new add/edit icon has been added to the associated group's column on the issues list page.
