Upgrade Notes

Before you upgrade, make sure that you stop all your DAI servers and services, and then take a backup of your database folders (data and minio) and configuration file (config.yml) before you start your installation. If there is a problem with your upgrade, you will need to restore to this point. If you have any questions or would like help testing your database before you upgrade, please contact your Technical Success Manager or our Customer Support.

Release 7.5 (November 2024)​

This version of DAI includes the following enhancements and defect fixes:

Requirements Traceability​

This addition enables you to import and reconcile requirements, that were stored in external requirement management systems, with the test cases and corresponding results in DAI. Now you can easily provide evidence that you met and tested the stated application requirements for contractual or compliance purposes. To use the Requirements Traceability feature, simply upload key requirements properties, like IDs and Descriptions, and map them to the steps of individual test cases that will exercise and validate that requirement. DAI will generate a viewable in-app report of your requirement coverage based on your successful test runs. See the new Requirements Traceability page for details.

To see the Requirements Traceability feature in action, click here.

Test Configuration Parameterization​

You can now optionally override parameter values at the test configuration level for both model- and script-based test cases by setting a preferred value for any of the available test case parameters. With this new capability, you can change your application behavior, reduce maintenance overhead, and increase flexibility in your test cases. This eliminates the need to duplicate test configurations to change your application behavior thereby reducing your maintenance overhead. You can use a single set of test assets to drive the desired behavior by simply modifying different parameter values as required. See Configure Custom Parameters for Steps Added for instructions in the use of this option.

To see the Test Configuration Parameterization feature in action, click here.

DAI 7.5 also provides parameter value overrides for CI/CD integration with the Eggplant Runners for Azure, GitHub, and Jenkins. These parameter overrides provide you with the flexibility to modify many aspects of your test runs by injecting different parameter values for alternative contexts, such as target test environments (develop, test, or staging), versions of your application, or even user profiles. See the --param option in the Advanced Options on the Running Automated Tests page for information about this parameter.

Auto-refresh of Runner Status​

You can now configure your Runner page to refresh automatically, enabling real-time updates on the run status of your test configurations without the need to reload the page. You can also still freeze the display by toggling the refresh off, just as you could on the Test Results page provided in previous releases. See Using the Eggplant DAI Runner for information about the Runner page.

To see the auto-refresh of the Runner page status in action, click here.

note

The auto-refresh will also be disabled when you scroll down below the first pagination point to ensure stability during review of historical results. The refresh rate is set by default, but can be modified through a configuration update on the server by the DAI administrator.

Improved Display of Fusion Engine (EPF) Run Logs​

The display of Sensetalk script execution output in the DAI Run Logs now more closely matches what you see in Eggplant Functional (EPF) and Eggplant Manager logs. You can see individual log lines in table rows with additional colorization, making debugging and troubleshooting easier should the test case fail or error. See Viewing Execution Results for information about viewing logs. In future releases, you will also be able to filter and search the logs.

note

In order for the EPF log to display correctly in the DAI Run Logs, you need to use the standard format of logging in EPF. If you customize the EPF log, the log may not display correctly because DAI depends on the number of the tab position to separate data into different columns.

Improved Display of Screenshots​

The layout and sizing of the screenshots captured during a test are now more consistently presented thumbnails, enabling you to more easily review them when you are analyzing your results.

Public API – Test Configuration results only​

The DAI public API now provides access to test configuration results for integration purposes. You can now extract a list of test configuration results, the specifics of an individual test configuration result (such as start time, end time, status), as well as the results in a JUnit XML file. For more information, see TestConfigResult, TestConfigResultSortBy and TestConfigResultsPaginatedList, and TestConfigStatus.

note

If you are using DAI's public APIs, you need to authenticate using client credentials as described in the section Generate Your API Client Credentials in our documentation. While we allow username and password authentication (auth code grant) to access our public APIs, security counter-measures may cause failures if authentication calls are made too frequently.

Public API – Test Results update (v2)​

The DAI public API now supports updates to the Run Log content where the format has been updated to support splitting the content into multiple fields. Backward compatibility exists with v1, but this will be deprecated in the future, so please update to use v2. For more information, see TestResult, TestResultLogEntriesPaginatedList, TestResultLogEntry, TestResultLogEntryPaginatedList, and TestResultsPaginatedList.

Defect Fixes​​

  • Fixed an issue where DAI was not optimal when exploring possible paths. When selecting a parameter value, DAI was choosing the value with the highest overall score. Now DAI chooses the value with the lowest overall score. (CRD-1665)

  • Fixed an issue where an empty, red error bar displayed on the Notification Setting Window when the server was utilizing a self-signed certificate for secure communication. (CRD-1651)

  • Fixed an issue where duplication of test cases runs an error when the test case contains one or more Tags. (CRD-1655)

  • Fixed an issue where a screenshot is too large for clients to view properly in script-based test result. (CRD-1641)

  • Fixed an issue where the DAI webserver was not limiting the number of concurrent sessions against a DOS attack. (CRD-1702)
