Release 7.1 (October 2023)

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

RESTART_EPF_AFTER_SECONDS Environment Variable

As a measure to improve stability, DAI now provides an environment variable you can set for test configuration runs to specify the amount of time Eggplant Functional (EPF) runs before restarting. This variable takes effect after the current step is finished and before moving to the next. The default value is 30 minutes. This variable setting only applies to runs with the DAI Run Agent. During live runs, EPF continuously runs without restarting. See Eggplant Functional Stop and Restart Settings for Test Configuration Runs for details.

Test Case Dashboard

DAI now provides a dashboard that aggregates the results of all your test cases. You can filter the data you see by date range, models, or suites. This aggregation capability will help you understand the current state as well as the evolution of your testing effort in a single view.

Automatic Retry for Failed Tests

DAI now provides the option to automatically rerun failed and errored test steps as these occur to ensure your tests complete successfully within the allocated testing timeframe. This new feature includes the options to rerun test steps within your test configuration, specify the number of times you want failed or errored tests to rerun, and the interval between reruns.

“Viewer” (Read-Only) User Role

DAI now provides a read-only user role. This role is for users, such as managers, who need access to view test results in DAI, but do not need to create or update test artifacts.

Single Sign-On (SSO) Capability

DAI now supports SSO capability for Eggplant users whose companies use Microsoft Entra ID (formerly "Azure" Active Directory) configured over the OpenID Connect (OIDC) or Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocols to control user access in a unified way. DAI also now provides SSO capability for SAML with ADFS. This is in addition to the existing support for ADFS with OIDC.
