    This year, we continued evolving and released new features that are focusing on making our users' lives easier and helping them release better products, faster and with confidence. Our main focus areas were:

    • Automation - Enabling test automation integration with PractiTest to have a one-stop-shop for all your testing methods. Automation integration with PractiTest is done in various ways to fit your needs and to make the integration seamless and easy to add.
    • Integrations - More tool integrations and improvements to our existing Jira integration, to help you manage all your testing efforts in one place, easily.
    • Visualization - To make knowledgeable decisions, you need to understand your data. With the new visualization features, you can filter your data and present the exact image you want of it.
    • Functionality - Make your day to day work easier and smarter.

    Here's a list of our most popular features released this year.


    Automation

    1. xBot 2 BETA - The release of the new xBot 2 BETA - PractiTest’s internal automation framework, lets users not only manage the results of their automation in PractiTest, but also trigger the runs from within the system and see how the runs perform. With constant improvements such as scheduling and Agents performance view, xBot gives better control and visibility over the automated testing in the overall testing process.
    2. xBot queue
    3. FireCracker - PractiTest internally developed tool that parses and modifies any XML test results into PractiTest tests, sets, runs and fields, using a friendly UI, is a leading way to integrate CI/CD tools and Unit testing. The additional parameters and customization options we added to the modification stage, make this tool even more valuable when centralizing all testing efforts.
    4. REST API - With easy to use documentation, PractiTest REST API is still one of the favourite ways to integrate any automation to PractiTest. This year we have extended the API calls to cover also fields and steps creation and update and give our users more options and flexibility.
