New Features

Administration

Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration

This feature allows site administrators to integrate qTest with a SAML2 Identity Provider (IdP) and users to log in to qTest with their SSO credentials. This feature is available in our Enterprise and Elite editions.

To enable this feature, you will first need to configure the integration with your IdP.

1. In Administration section, select tab Authentication Integration on the top navigation and then select SSO in the left pane

2. You are required to enter the URL to your IdP metadata. Alternatively, you can upload an IdP metadata XML file from your local machine

3. Switch on the Activation Status and then click on Save button

There are 3 ways to allow qTest users to log in with SSO credentials:

1. Invite a new user: you are required to enter both qTest email and SSO username

2. To allow an existing qTest user to log in with the SSO credentials:

   • Change the Authentication System to the integrated IdP

   • Then you are required to enter the corresponding SSO usernname

3. To save effort, while configuring the integration, you can select option Create new account on qTest upon user's first login

   • If users log in to qTest for the first time, they are required to enter additional information to create qTest account before accessing qTest

   • If there has already been a qTest account with the same email, the user is allowed to merge with the qTest user. This is only applied with the emails we receive from the IdP. In case the user manually enter his email, he will not be able to merge

To log in with SSO credentials, on qTest Login page, click on Login with SSO button

Custom date format

As a site administrator, you can select a date format to be displayed across different qTest modules for your users.

• In Site Administration, select System Configurations tab

  

• Click the Save button to apply the format to your qTest site

• The selected date format is applied to all date values displayed in qTest pages, reports, and exports, except for exported csv files

Test Design

Test Case Conversion

This new feature allows the user to convert manual Test Cases to automation Test Cases (and vice versa) so that existing manual Test Cases can be tied to automation test results.

  • If a manual Test Case is converted to automation, click the Input Automation Content button to fill in the Automation Content for converted Test Cases. It is optional

    

    

  • The Automation Content is the identifier that is used to point automation execution results to a Test Run linked to this Test Case

View Execution History of a Test Case or a Module under Test Design tab

1. Right click on a Test Case or Module, then select View Execution History option

   

2. The system will open Test Execution Data Query for you to view associated Test Runs of the selected object. The most recent Test Run status will display in the Query Results
