What's New R1 2019

Redesigned Find Expression Builder (Edit Element View)

We’ve redesigned the Edit Element UI and moved it from that old-school dialog to the test area. This means that you can open as many elements you need, put them side to side to compare or even place them side by side with a test.

The goal of this redesign is to improve usability and make the user’s interaction as simple and efficient as possible. Through removing old and unused parts and exposing the most valued features in the UI, we aim to achieve better user experience and prepare the UI for the upcoming major features in 2019.

Ribbon Menu UX Improvements

New Project, Test and Element Ribbon menus added for improved in-product navigation and usability.The Element Find Expression Builder options and actions are now moved in their ribbon menu on top of Test Studio's window and are easy to access when working with an element.

Scheduling Services Improvements and Self-Recovery Mechanism

Scheduling is now even more stable and easy to setup. Here are the main changes:

• Execution agent unattended automatic self recovery. If for any reason the execution agent stops working, it will restart and recover itself and continue executing tests and test lists.
• Easy and simplified network configuration. Instead of using unlimited port ranges like before, now all Scheduling bits will use only three ports—8009 for the Scheduling service, 55555 for the execution agent, 8492 for the storage service.
• Improved scheduling runs parallelization
• General stability/reliability improvements and fixes.
