XStudio 1.3: Tests and test cases versioning



One feature requested for long was the test and test cases versioning. Indeed, it was possible to track the progression and regression of test campaigns in time but there were not yet any way to manage the versions of the tests/test cases in parallel. Hence, if you are looking at an old campaign session and see that the test A did fail, you were not able to know what was the test A at this time since it may have changed afterward.

Starting in XStudio 1.3, all changes in tests and test cases are tracked and versioned so that you can get their states at any point in time.

Information versioned are:

Tests:
  • Description
  • Priority
  • Canonical path
  • Prerequisites
  • Additional information
Test cases:
  • Procedure tree
  • Description
  • Use description as testplan flag
  • Additional information

Currently, the system associate to each revision a date of submission and an revision (an automatically incremented number). Here is how the GUI looks like:


In the future, a flagging system will be added so that the user can flag ALL test at a T time with a personalized label. It will also be possible to run a campaign session with the tests as they were defined in the past.
