- A TestArchitect client and any repository server to which it connects must be of the same version.
TestArchitect Client
New features
- Introduction of new XML test result model:
TestArchitect saves test results of each test run in the XML format, so that you can view them in any web browser.
Important:XML result model provides the following advantages when compared to the previous result model.- Less memory footprint: The amount of memory that TestArchitect uses or references while opening and viewing test results is less.
- Smaller parsing times: The operation process is faster, such as open test results, import/export test results, etc.
- Smaller test result compression: Test results take up less hard drive space; therefore, the repository’s size is reduced.
Test result customization: You now can customize how your test results appear by modifying the corresponding XSL file, a language for transforming XML test results.
XML Result Conversion tool: Rather than converting one-by-one test result into XML format, you can perform this operation via a command line tool to quickly convert entire test results of a given repository.
Numerous bug fixes.
- Better troubleshooting of automation errors: If there are any automation errors in the test result, TestArchitect provides a hyperlink to direct to the respective online troubleshooting topic which describes common causes and possible solutions.
Enhancements to existing features
- Improved picture checks:
- Importing external image sources: TestArchitect now lets you easily import image files (i.e. .PNG) format) for new picture checks or additional new baseline images.
- Resolving unverified picture checks: You are now able to upload unverified picture checks to the repository, and then resolve those unverified picture checks.
TestArchitect Automation
New features
Support for web service testing: Web services are applications that can be published and called over the Internet by client applications. It is vital to perform testing for web services during the pre-deployment stage. This helps to identify and resolve defects as early as possible. Also, in the regression testing during post-deployment stage it ensures ongoing quality of service and availability. TestArchitect now supports functional testing of web services.
- TestArchitect includes new built-in actions that let you perform web service testing:
- create http request: Instantiate a new HTTP request.
- authenticate: Specify an HTTP authentication scheme and its information before working with web services. The user must be authenticated to the services.
- add http header: Add a name/value pair as an HTTP header field that you might want to include with your request.
- add http body: Add a message body into an HTTP request.
- add http parameter: Add a parameter including a pair of name/value to a GET request. Note that, this parameter will be added to the query string in the requester URL.
- send http request: Send an HTTP request to a given resource.
- parse http response: Parse the response of the request to status, header and body.
- TestArchitect also enables you to test web services that use Basic HTTP authentication and OAuth 2.0 authentication.
- TestArchitect includes new built-in actions that let you perform web service testing:
Built-in actions for JSON checkpoints supported:
Note:These built-in actions can also be used to verify JSON response returned by the tested web service.- check json query result: Check a JSON query result against an expected string. The result is Passed if the strings match; otherwise it is Failed.
- get json query result: Query a JSON document by JSONPath.
