Improvements and new features

Improvements and Additions

Copy Projects 

If you have more than one GoTest environment, it is now possible to copy a project from one environment to another in part or in whole. The copy is done through 2 steps. First, the export from the reference environment which will generate a file. Second, using this file, you can import into the destination environment.

Sample Projects

The sample projects available in the freemium version have been updated to reflect the new product release. User interface explanations have been removed and added in the product tour.

Guided Tour

New User Interface Elements

The guided tour of the software has been updated for the new version of the software. The different functionalities and their location in the application have been outlined to make it easier to learn the environment.

UI/UX

Menus

Contextual Reorganization

The main menu has been subdivided into different sections for faster and more intuitive access. The menu items have been grouped under the Tools, Help, and User Profile menus. In addition, all editing, and component management functions have been moved to a left menu that allows direct access wherever you are in the application. The editor, the executions page and the dashboard are now accessible in one click from the top main menu.

Advanced Breadcrumb

The breadcrumb has been improved to outline the different levels of the documentation and make it easier to jump to any level. In addition, a contextual menu allows direct access to certain functionalities of the parent level without leaving the current one.

Dark Mode

A dark mode has been added to accommodate user preferences and match dark modes across different operating systems.

Drag and Drop

The drag and drop functionality has been added to several elements such as table rows to allow ordering, component tree elements to organize them and resource files for easy addition.

Revised Tables

Main and Secondary Actions

Actions on table row elements have been standardized. The main actions (e.g., edit the element) are available in one click in the column to the right of the tables. Secondary actions (e.g., delete, copy...) are available in a context menu in the left column of the tables. For actions on several elements, the context menu in the header is available and allows to perform batch actions on the selected elements.

Reorder Rows

A drag and drop lever has been added in the left column, when the function is available, to reorder rows.

Table Rows Density

A menu at the top right of the table allows you to change the density of the rows of the table to allow better visibility and easier access on touch screens.

Editing 

Editing of components has been unified and is improved by of sliding popups that open on the right side of the screen.

Component Management Improvements

Non-disruptive

All component management and editing screens accessible through the left menu are displayed in a layer on top of the main screens. This makes it possible to add or modify components at any time without interfering with your work in the other screens.

Opening new tabs

To ensure that the user's workflow is not interfered with, if a link would force the opening of content that is not displayed in a popup or an overlay, a new browser tab will be opened to display the content of the link.

Intuitive User Interface

Steps navigation

In the script editing screen, it is now more intuitive to navigate from one script to the next thanks to the more visible previous and next arrows displayed at the top right of the screen.

Scripting Screen

Component Filter

It is now possible to filter user components when creating a script by selecting sections of the component tree in the filter. This will allow you to reduce the list of available components and prevent mistakes.

Frozen Columns

The return and keyword columns are now frozen when you scroll to the right. This helps to ensure that the parameters changed or viewed are for the correct keyword.

Documentation

Quick Start

A new section called Quick Start will allow to start automated tests quickly by providing users with all the necessary information to get going and links to more detailed information.

New Structure

A simpler structure of the documentation will make it easier for you to find your way around.

Bilingual

The documentation is now available in French.

Components 

Components (Variable, Dataset, Remote Libraries, Combined Keywords, Tags, Resource Files) are now independent of test and script documentation. This allows more flexibility for re-using components and reduces the need to make unnecessary copies or having a large list of global components. In addition, the component structure allows you to use more meaningful component names while keeping their uniqueness by using their full hierarchy path as their name. 

Component Transfer

Components are now transferable from one GoTest environment to another or from one multi-tenant space to another. The export and import of components are global or partial and conflict management allows you to ensure that the correct components are imported as intended.

Clearer API Code Executions

Public API execution codes are now more detailed and accurate and allow faster diagnosis and resolution of issues related to the use of the API.

Impacts to consider

Some scripts that use unusual structures or removed keywords are not supported when migrating from 2.17 to 3.0.

In order to prevent test failures caused by these scripts, it is important to validate the following list and make the corrections before proceeding with the migration.
