Enhancements to existing features

• User-Defined Fields for Test Steps - TestArchitect now allows you to create User Defined Fields (UDFs) for Test Steps. A UDF enables you to store additional information for project items. Test step UDFs will be displayed in the Steps List view as columns. You can easily upload these results to Zephyr when you use matching column names.

Additionally, TestArchitect will provide a Connection Progress dialog so that you may view the status of these connections.

TestArchitect Automation

• Support for Chrome 75 and Firefox 67: Now you can run automated tests for web pages displayed in the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox.
