Provar Automation V3 Features and Enhancements
Refactored Page Object Management
Provar Automation V3 now automatically updates all references when Page Objects are renamed or moved within the project. This enhancement removes the need for manual adjustments and ensures full consistency across test cases making your test maintenance simpler, faster, and error-free.
The benefits of Page Object Refactoring are listed below:
- Zero manual updates: Users no longer need to track or correct references after renaming or moving Page Objects.
- Error-free refactoring: No errors in test cases or execution logs due to Page Object updates.
- Backward compatibility: All existing (legacy) test cases and scenarios will continue to work without any impact.
- Improved maintainability: Refactoring is simpler, safer, and faster.

Enhanced Agentforce Test Step Capabilities
Provar Automation V3 now delivers built-in Test Steps for Agentforce API testing, expanding coverage for conversational and agent-driven workflows.
The Test Agent APIs are now standardized and included as part of the core product, removing the need for manual setup or workarounds and ensuring consistent, predictable interactions with Agent responses.
This enhancement introduces improved stability (including End Session behavior), refined handling of Agent Lists, extended parameters, and additional Type options; all aligned with Salesforce and REST Connections. Together, these updates offer a more robust, flexible, and seamless experience for Agent-based test automation.

Zephyr Integration Upgrade in V3
This release brings the Zephyr Integration in V3; Zephyr options are available in the context menu for Test cases, Files, and Test plans and match the functionality available in V2. This ensures consistent Zephyr integration across versions and restores the expected workflow functionality
The Upload and Download options are now available in the context menu for Zephyr-connected test items and fully supported for both legacy and new projects.
Provar Automation V3 also supports the updated end point recently changed by Atlassian/Zephyr.
Enhanced Synchronization for Test Cases in Split Tree View
An enhancement is implemented to address an issue where Synchronize Content failed to open selected files or test cases when using a split tree structure. The split tree used an object type that didn’t meet the previous synchronisation conditions, causing test cases and external file editor items to be unsupported.
New handling logic has been added to support these object types, restoring reliable synchronization. Selecting a file or test case during Synchronize Content now opens it correctly across all supported structures.
For more information, see Content Synchronization
Test Cycle execution is now supported for Provar Quality Hub
Provar Automation V3 now allows users to configure a Test Cycle for Test Plans that are set up to publish execution results to Provar Quality Hub (formerly Provar Manager). This enhancement gives teams greater flexibility to organize and execute tests within a defined Test Cycle while maintaining the same consolidated reporting experience they rely on today.
With this update, users can structure their test runs more effectively; without altering any existing execution behaviour or reporting workflows.
This includes:
- Test Cycle Association: Users can now link a Test Cycle to Test Plans configured for Provar Quality Hub reporting.
- Unchanged Execution Flow: All execution logic continues to operate exactly as it does for Test Plans without Test Cycle configuration.
- Consistent Reporting: Final consolidated execution reports are published to Provar Quality Hub in the same manner as standard executions.
- No Impact on Existing Behavior: Executions that do not use Test Cycle configuration remain unaffected, ensuring backward compatibility and stable reporting.
This enhancement provides improved test organisation while preserving the reliability and consistency of Provar Quality Hub reporting.
Enhanced LWC Mapping with Hierarchical Page Structure
We have introduced a hierarchical page structure for LWC mappings, enabling Provar to automatically switch tabs or open closed accordions during test execution. Previously, these interactions required users to manually insert multiple test steps.
With the new hierarchy support for Flexi mappings, these actions are now seamlessly handled for LWC mappings in a single step and the benefits are listed below:
- Eliminates the need for multiple manual steps to switch tabs or open accordions
- Automates tab switching and accordion expansion in one streamlined action

Automatic Chrome and Edge Driver Download for Version Mismatch Scenarios
Provar Automation V3 now comes bundled with the latest stable Chrome and Edge drivers and automatically downloads the correct version if a mismatch is detected i.e. during Authoring or Execution.
This enhancement ensures a seamless testing experience by preventing browser–driver compatibility issues from blocking Run, Debug, or Test Builder workflows. For more information on using different web driver versions, see the page for Overriding Browser Driver Versions
Provar Manager is now Provar Quality Hub
All references to Provar Manager in Provar Automation V3 have been updated to Provar Quality Hub across the product This ensures consistent branding throughout the application, providing a unified and clear user experience across all versions.
Security Improvements
This release includes ongoing security and compliance improvements validated through Provar’s internal and third-party review processes. These updates reinforce Provar’s commitment to delivering a secure, enterprise-grade platform aligned with modern security standards and best practices.
A JFrog Xray Scan Report has been reviewed to confirm component integrity and compliance.

Bug Fixes
- Resolved an issue where saving an OAuth connection in Provar Quality Hub using Managed Flow or Web Flow authentication displayed unexpected or irrelevant fields. The UI now shows only the required configuration fields, preventing confusion and ensuring accurate setup.
- Addressed multiple issues affecting Japanese language support. Provar Automation V3 now correctly preserves Japanese characters in email notifications after test execution and allows the use of Japanese (2-byte) characters in test case and test plan names through enhanced name validation.
- Corrected the “Find Out More” documentation links in the context window, which previously redirected to V2 resources. Links under the Plans and Settings tabs now point to the appropriate V3 documentation.
- Resolved an issue where the Object ID field did not appear immediately when selecting the “View” action in a UI On Screen step. Previously, users had to switch to another step and return for the field to display. The editor now refreshes automatically, ensuring the Object ID field appears as soon as an action requiring it is selected.
- Resolved an issue in Test Builder where selecting “Web Component” as the Element Type during field mapping did not function as expected. Provar now automatically switches to “Web Element” when the XPath is incompatible, ensuring seamless and successful element interaction.
