System Update, Saturday August 15th

Posted in Upgrades on August 15th, 2009 by Yaniv Iny – Be the first to comment

Hi All !

This weekend we performed an update of the PractiTest System. There was no downtime.

The version delivers some important features like:
  • Addition of Folders to the Test Module, allowing users to organize their tests within Folders in addition to the Hierarchical Views Structure. This was requested by many of our users. We still believe that the views (with the custom-filters) is a more scalable, and easier to maintain.
  • Improved Traceability Functionality, making it easier to link between requirements, tests, and issues. Now you can link tests from requirements, and vice versa. The same with issues and tests, issues and requirements. it’s all fully traceable.
  • Improved Performance – we added additional caching mechanisms on our server side, that makes your connection much faster than ever before. We hope you’ll enjoy it !
  • And additional smaller features and fixes to improve your working experience.

As always, we’re happy to hear your inputs and feedback; it helps us making PractiTest better.

SIGiST this year was around the general theme of “Providing Value to the Organization”, and Testing Intelligence together with the new approach of PractiTest to test management were a central subject of many of the conference’s side track conversations.

An additional session where PractiTest was mentioned was the one talking about the AQA project, training people with Aspergers Autistic Syndrome. In that important project our platform is used as the tool where their students are trained in software testing and bug reporting methodologies.  But we will talk about this subject more in a future post…
