XStudio 1.0: Capability to Pause/Resume manual test campaigns

The control bar in the manual and simple_manual launchers has been improved again with a Pause/Resume feature. Hence, at any time when executing manual tests you can now pause and resume the session:


This can be particularly useful when you configured some tests/testcases to be executed with some timeout limits. Indeed, in this case it's now possible to stop the timer (and the progress bar) until you're ready to resume the campaign (after a good night sleep for example).

This feature will be available as part of XStudio 1.0a2 that will be delivered around the 13th of September at this location: http://www.xqual.com/support/download.html.

XStudio 1.0: Complete control on manual tests execution

I'm now working on a control bar in the manual launchers (standard and simplified) provided along with XStudio:

Practically, this is an additional control bar in the manual launcher's dialog box. The control bar includes so far 5 buttons:
  • Previous Test
  • Previous Testcase
  • Rewind Testcase
  • Next Testcase
  • Next Test
At any time during manual test execution, you can use these buttons to "move" into the campaign session. This will be available in XStudio 1.0a2 that will be delivered around the 13th of September at this location: http://www.xqual.com/support/download.html.

XStudio 1.0: Reports matching execution order

I just finished the development of additional XSLT transforms allowing to generate HTML reports:
- campaign session reports matching the test execution order
- testplan of the tests included in a campaign matching the execution order
- traceability matrix reports for specifications

In addition, the campaign session reports now display only relevant (not empty) categories.

This feature will be included in XStudio v1.0a2.

Encouraging

Back from vacation I was happily surprised to finally get a first donation for XStudio!
Thanks Tharma for this. It's really encouraging...

Getting back to work now, there's a release at the end of this week-end and I still have to finish implementing user profiles.
