Hi,

As we are constantly updating PractiTest with new functionality and small fixes, we’ve decided to send monthly updates describing the major changes and improvements.

Here are some of the recent updates to the system, done in month of October 2018:

• Exploratory Testing module improvements. Based on your feedback, we are updating the ET functionality so that you can get the full traceability and re-usability of your Exploratory Tests too. With this update, Exploratory Tests are now part of the Test Library, and can be added to Test Sets like any other Test.
  * This improvement to our Exploratory Testing feature was released on Nov 3rd, but it’s a large change, so we decided to add it to this update.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). A new optional extra security layer for users to log-in, while being protected from brute force and social engineering attacks.
• Create test cases from Test Sets. Another request from multiple users, in order to save time by working directly from the Test Sets and Runs module.
• Autocomplete feature within ‘List’ custom fields, including the ‘Version’ system field, as requested numerous times in our Uservoice.
• Select fields from different entities when creating Instance Dashboard graphs
• We’re now SOC2-type II compliant, Learn more about the security measures we take to ensure your data’s safety.

And of course, there were other bug fixes.

– Prioritize your tests

– Add a comments field to your runs where testers add comments when they run the test

– Once a quarter sit with your Business Stakeholder and review your tests

Looking at different test management tools and comparing them is boring. Yes. I said it. They all say the same and seem to be doing the same. Well, we in PractiTest are working hard to give our clients far beyond the features and solutions they can get anywhere else. We design our product by looking into our clients job, talking to them and listening to their pain points. We gathered a few of our best features for you. These are features you can’t find all together anywhere else, definitely not on the same quality level as can be found on PractiTest . They will help you organize your process, and will give you back great benefits that translate into time and money saving!

Enjoy!

• No more data mining! Hierarchical filter trees + Advanced search – PractiTest offers you a whole new way to look at your data. Having hierarchical filters means you can slice and dice your data to your convenience. It’s a simple setting that organizes your data in a dynamic way instead of leaving it static. Its like tags but much smarter. Add our faceted search to that and your you will never look at your data the same way. Check out this video to better understand
  
• Fully customizable and adaptive – With PractiTest dynamic structure you can start using the tool “as is” and easily customize it to your (often changing) needs as you go. You can customize your fields (enabling custom views), implement your own user-permission levels, define the workflow of your issues, and reuse your existing data in a smart quick way. Even our pricing is scalable. So no matter if its your team that’s changing, your organization or the whole market – we’ve got you covered.
• Never work twice. For real. We can do it.
  – Permutations – YES, permutations. No more clone change clone change clone change… tell us the basic variables you want to check and we will do all the mix and match for you.
  
  – Step parameters + call to test – write a test once, use it multiple times in different ways and customise it easily each time. learn all about it here
  
  – No more duplicated bugs. A unique solution you can read about here
  
• Communicate with PractiTest in more than one way –
  – bug by mail – external team members are able to report bugs by mail. Amazing.
  – External dashboard sharing and advanced reports – Your boss will see the real deal now. In a way that will blow his mind.
