Provar Manager v3.10.0
Provar Manager Features and Enhancements
With Provar Manager version 3.10.0, the following features and enhancements are now available.
Test Management App
Test Case Maximum Execution Time
We have added a field to test cases named “Maximum Execution Time” which lets testers set a maximum number of minutes the test case should be running. If a test execution runs for longer than the set time, the checkbox “Duration Is Above Maximum” will be checked, which can be used in custom reports to understand which test cases are running for longer than normal.
Test Execution Timeline Improvements
We have introduced an enhancement for testers, enabling faster manual test case execution. By hovering over a test step and selecting one of three status icons, users can now easily update test step statuses from the left sidebar on the Test Execution Timeline while in Edit Mode without having to click on each test step. The updated test step status is reflected on the right sidebar’s Test Step execution information component.
Clone Test Case with Related Information
Users can clone test cases and their associated records, avoiding the need to duplicate them manually. When you click the menu dropdown arrow on a Test Case record and select Clone Test Case you will be able to choose from a list of related records (e.g., Test Suites, Defects, and others) which ones you want to clone along with the test case.
Enhanced Play Button for Exploratory Testing
This update makes it easier to start Exploratory Testing sessions by allowing users to click the Play button immediately on Exploratory Testing test cases instead of navigating to the Sessions tab.
Access Recently Viewed Items
Users can now quickly access recently viewed records from any part of Provar Manager by using the Recent Items component in the Utility Bar.
Export Test Plans and Test Cycles as PDF
This release includes the option to export test plans and test cycles as PDF files. A new Export as PDF option has been added to the navigation headers of both the Test Plan and Test Cycle record pages. For Test Plans, the menu option appears on the record navigation header, whereas for Test Cycles, it is situated to the left of the Consolidate button.
Quick Test Execution for Nested Test Suites
This version improves Quick Test Suite Execution by automatically including nested test suites into the generated test cycles.
Test Operations App
REST API for Aborting Test Runs
This release includes a new REST API allowing DevOps engineers to abort in-progress Apex and Provar Grid test runs.
Test Plan Schedule Readiness Check
This update improves Test Plan schedule settings by providing real-time feedback on schedule readiness. When the scheduling settings are changed, the Readiness Check is updated automatically without requiring a page refresh.
Automatic Page Refresh for VCS and Repository Records
This upgrade improves workflow efficiency by automatically reloading the VCS and Repository record pages after importing repositories or branches. After importing repositories, the VCS page and related repository list are immediately updated without the need for a manual refresh. Similarly, after importing branches, the repository page and its branch-related list are instantly refreshed.
Provar Grid Features & Enhancements
Support for custom artifact paths
This upgrade enables TestOps engineers to specify additional files and folder paths to be included in the Provar Grid job artifacts (ZIP file) during the test plan schedule. The Configure Settings form for Provar Grid scheduling now includes a new tab titled Custom Artifacts. Users can create custom routes by adding or removing entries and providing a name and path for each artifact.
Scenario Logs in Provar Grid Job Status
This release improves the Provar Grid Job Status component by enabling users to view full execution logs for each scenario. Users can now click on the download icon located to the right of each scenario in the Job Status list.
