XStudio 1.5: New settings to better control notifications

In XStudio 1.5, new settings will appear to better control email notification mechanisms:

Send additional notification per failed test case:
When you're running non-regression campaigns, this option can be useful as it will send you a specific notification as soon as one test case is failing (regression). The notification is sent immediately while the session is still running. One notification per failed test case is sent.

Send bug notification only on status change:
This option will limit the email notification to the case where the status of the bug has been changed.


Also, for the integrated bug-tracking database, a new butto allows sending a reminder to all people involved in the bug:

  1. Bug notifications should be filtered by user's role and transaction rules:
    Testing TL/Mng - gets notification on opening, fixing, rejection and closure of bugs.
    (But not on transactions within the SW team)
    Tester - does not need E-Mail on what he just opened - but only as it returns as fixed for validation.
    SW TL/Mng - roughly as Testing TL.
    Maybe some rules based on last owner and current owner of an item are needed.

  2. There are already rules specifying who is going to be sent to the notification. If the bug is fixed, the tester will receive the notifications. If the bug is assigned, the developer will receive them.

    The new setting "Send bug notification only on status change" overloads all the rules with an additional one: the notifications are sent ONLY if the status change.
