Release 7.0 (July 2023)
MinIO deployment upgrade
An upgrade has been made to the latest stable release of MinIO. Upgrading an existing installation of DAI 6.5 to DAI 7.0 will bring about a migration of MinIO assets(mainly suites and screenshots) which may take up to an hour.
Agent redesigned
The agent has been redesigned into separate dedicated agents for design and run. There are two types of agents, namely DAI Design Agent for uploading suites to DAI and executing tests in the designer, and DAI Run Agent for executing test configuration runs. Both agents are required.
[Windows Only] From version 7.0.0-0 onwards, if you have an older agent installed i.e. eggplantAIagent, it will be removed during the installation of either the newer DAI Design Agent or the newer DAI Run Agent.
Execution Environment List
On the SUTs page, you no longer need to type the Execution Environment name that will be used by a SUT. You can now pick your Execution Environment from a list of Execution Environments that can also be filtered. You may also leave the Execution Environment field blank except for connections to Android and iOS devices.
SUT connection configuration
Made it easier for you to avoid misconfiguring your connections. If RDP or VNC are the primary connections, then only Webdriver will be available as secondary connection and vice versa. There can only be one connection if Citrix, Sauce Labs Browser, Sauce Labs Browser, Android Device or iOS Device is selected.
Email notification by test result type
Choose to receive email notification based on the type of test result; Pass, Fail, Error, Cancelled. By default all options are selected on creation of a test configuration.
Single Sign-On (ADFS with OIDC)
Single Sign-On functionality for DAI will enable our users who use Active Directory configured over the OIDC protocol to control their users' access in a unified way. If you’re interested in learning more, please reach out to your Account Manager who can assist.
Source code management integration - GIT
Support for GIT Integration has been added. This makes it possible for test runs to use scripts from GIT repositories. Does not support SVN.
Natively connect to Android and iOS devices
This option is available in the SUT connection type list. Your device will connect through the Eggplant Gateway.
Filtering on test result page
Filtering by suite added in test result page.
Security updates
A number of security enhancements have been made to DAI 7.0, including the latest stable release of MinIO.
