Take a sneak peek of the high-level Roadmap containing the major features for the year. Along with them, there will be smaller user-requested features and improvements.

R1 2019 (Expected in February)

Find Expression Builder (Edit Element), Step Builder and Ribbon bar user interface and workflow re-design.

The goal of the changes is to improve usability and make the user's interaction as simple and efficient as possible. Through removing old and not used parts and exposing the most valued features in the UI, we will achieve better user experience and will prepare the UI for the upcoming major features in 2019.

R2 2019 (Expected in June)

Image-Based Element Detection

Elements with dynamic IDs are a challenge for any automation framework or tool.
Image-based element detection can overcome this problem and in combination with our existing element detection logic can offer full support for even the most challenging to automate applications.

Test Studio will use a combination of the DOM and image-based identification logic which will make tests even more stable. In the case when one of the identifications fails, the Runner will find the element by its other identification thus saving the test from failure.

R3 2019 (Expected in October)

Self-Healing Hybrid Elements

Decreased test maintenance time by attempting to automatically fix failed identification by engaging the user in a conversation with multiple choices and building ML model based on the gathered data. If the primary Element identifier fails, but Test Studio finds the element by one of the other identifiers, it knows that the element is still there and may attempt to fix the primary identifier so that it works on the next run.

This results in stable tests with several healthy identifiers and will minimize the time spent in debugging the failing element.
