Elasticsearch version 8.19.13
New Features
The following updates bring significant enhancements, security improvements, and fixes:
2D Report
Introduced the 2D Report capability, which enables advanced data analysis across two dimensions. This feature helps users explore and analyze test data with deeper insights and precision while maintaining real-time accuracy.
Improvements
The following updates bring significant improvements and fixes in the ZE 8.7 Release:
Mandatory Testcase Creation
Added enforcement of mandatory field validation for test cases at the project level. It prevents the creation of manual and automated test cases and the import of test cases when the mandatory fields are left blank.
The Create Test Case form now requires users to complete all mandatory fields.
The import feature now prevents users from importing test cases unless they map all mandatory fields.
The automation section includes fields for mandatory information that apply to the test case used in automation.
Improved Most Failed Test Cases Report
Added the Last Failed Execution configuration option to the Most Failed Test Cases report, which allows you to view only the latest failed executions or all historical failures. This enhancement allows you to switch between recent failure insights and historical trend analysis for more informed decision-making.
Audit Logs Module Enhancements
Rebuilt the Audit Logs module with standardized and consistent audit messages, ensuring more accurate and complete tracking of user and system activities across the application.
Enhanced Traceability Export
Enhanced the traceability export to include custom fields from requirements, improving visibility of requirement metadata and reducing manual reporting effort.
