Here are some updates from the past month

Link Test Sets to Requirements for Smarter Coverage
You can now link a complete Test Set to a Requirement, making it easier to manage coverage in a way that truly reflects test execution. Once linked, all tests within the Test Set are automatically associated with the Requirement, and its status will reflect the Test Set’s execution progress. Any new test instances added to the set are included in the calculation, keeping your coverage up to date without manual effort.
Slice Your Data Smarter with 4-Level Hierarchical Auto Filters
You can now nest Auto Filters up to four hierarchical levels, giving you more control over how you organize and drill down into your data.
Build smarter filter trees based on any combination of list, multi-list, or linked-list fields. For example, Version → Run Status → Testing Phase → Operating System. This helps you surface exactly the data you need, especially in large-scale projects with complex QA structures.
Enforce Test Run Order per Test Set
In addition to the existing option to enforce test run order across your entire project, project admins can now enforce run order at the individual test set level. This means you can choose specific test sets where instances must be executed in sequence, while maintaining flexibility in others, allowing for more tailored control over your execution strategy.
