Version 2021.1.3

Release Notes (Release Date: 2021-05-24)

Corrections

General

• We've made various optimisations in the application code to improve performance and reduce memory usage.
• When changing the row number of a repository datastore item, it would create duplicate row numbers in the database when you clicked Save. This has been fixed.

EnterpriseOne

• When executing tests that select E1 Menu Items, the test would fail if you tried to click a parent menu item, and later a child menu item with the same text as the parent you'd already clicked.
• When creating many QBE actions in a single test, sometimes you would get an error about grids not existing on the page.
• Sometimes, when executing actions where you were expecting to see E1 valudation errors, the action would succeed even though those errors appeared. This was most often a problem when the E1 server was running slowly due to maintenance or high load.

Cloud Applications

• Previously, the "Store Grid Value" action didn't work if the value inside the cell was an input (only static text worked).

New Features & Enhancements

General

• When editing data for a repository datastore, you can now click the "Renumber Rows" button to overwrite the rownumbers and resequence them from 1.
• When editing an existing action on a test, you can now search for all actions similar to the one you're working with, and update those as well from the same place. This is useful if you need to update all instances of clicking a particular form control, for example if the internal HTML ID of that control changes in E1/CloudApps.
• The user interface when updating an existing action on a test has been modernised, allowing you to better see progress while its working.
• For an extra layer of security, you can now request DWS to change your account so that no E1 or CloudApps passwords are stored in your database in the cloud. If you choose to do this, you will need to store all passwords in your local machine's Windows Credential Manager.
• The Swiftest application has a new icon, and the DWS and DS logos on the sign in screen have been replaced with the new company branding.
• Calls to external resources have been consolidated and optimised, potentially requiring fewer ports to be opened on your corporate firewall.

Open API

• A SoapUI demo project is now available on request, to be used as a tutorial for working with the Open API.
• Added a method to update a single column for a row in the repository datastore.
• Added a method to retrieve a single row of data from a repository.
• When requesting all data for a repository, you can now specify the page number to return, as well as the number of records on a page.

New Actions

Cloud Applications

• A new action, "Select Application Start Tab", allows you to select right-hand menus from a dropdown.
• The new "Set text area value" action allows you to set the values of these multi-line edit boxes on forms.

Version 2021.1.2

Release Notes (Release Date: 2021-03-17)

Corrections

General

• 2021.1.2 - Fix issue with add new action button not working
• When renaming a Repository Datastore that was used by group actions, the group actions are now updated correctly to use the new name.
• Occasionally, when signing out of the application and signing in as a different user for a different environment, the list of available actions wouldn't refresh properly. This has been fixed.
• When using an If or While group action, or the Compare action, to compare two numbers which were in different formats, they would be seen as not being equal to each other. This has been fixed.
• Creating a repository datastore with the same name as an existing one can cause significant issues down the line. Because of this, it is now no longer possible to have two repository datastores in the system with the same name (this does not affect existing data, but only prevents new records from having duplicate names).
• Previously, the Create button for adding Scenarios and Tests was enabled when browsing a project not owned by the current user. This created the impression that users could create these in projects owned by other people. Users would not actually be able to do this, and would've received an error from the API if they'd tried, but the buttons will now be disabled as they should.
• When copying an If, While, or Compare action whose conditions contained a datastore item, the datastore item of the target action was still pointing at the old test. This has been fixed.
• When using the Verify DataStore Values screen to enter a different Project Username than the one specified on the project, the change wouldn't take effect and it would still use the project setting. This has been fixed.

New Actions

General

• The "Send Email" action allows you to send an email to any address as part of a test execution.

New Features & Enhancements

General

• Users with the "Client Admin" role can now log into the DWS Dimension Hub website to see a list of all their subscriptions, and the users under each subscription.
• Additionally, these users can use the Hub website to reassign to take ownership of private projects whose original owners have left the company.
• There is an entirely new way of navigating around the application. The menu bar at the top as been removed and replaced with the naviagtion bar on the left hand side. This should make navigation more intuitive, and provide a better use of available screen real estate. For more information, see the how-to guide entitled "How To Navigate the New Swiftest User Interface".
• A new "Open API" has been made available, which interested clients can use to programatically interact with their SwifTest data in certain ways. For more information, refer to the How-to guides, or contact your sales representative.
• There have been numerous improvements to the application's performance, both in terms to general usability, and when uploading or downloading large datasets from the cloud.
• When editing action positions for a test, you can now drag actions into and out of groups.
• The Schedules screen has been overhauled and modernised, with new ways to create, and specify the intervals for schedules.
• Right-clicking a schedule in the list allows you to Refresh the list, Add a new schedule, or Delete the currently selected schedule.
• The Stop button the execution screen has been moved to a different location, to prevent people from accidentally clicking it immediately after clicking Execute.
• You can now use Microsoft Edge as a browser for projects, and tests under those projects will run in Microsoft Edge, if it's installed on your machine.
• After creating a schedule, when that schedule is picked up by the Pod HQ, it will automatically update the description to append the time zone information of the machine where the Pod HQ is running.
