Manager 2023.5 Release Notes
August 9, 2023
With Manager 2023.5, we've added several time-saving options to help you review, edit, and manage your tests. This includes ability to edit defects from the Data Query window and a button to help you sync Jira integrations across all of your projects. We've also added security enhancements and bug fixes to improve your overall qTest experience.
Edit defects from Data Query
Make quick changes without disrupting your review process by directly editing defects from Data Query.
Edit defects in the same location where you view them.
Now, you can select any defect you want to edit in Data Query and edit it from a pop-up window, without ever navigating to a different page.
Learn more about defects views in Data Query.
Automatically update test run status from test steps
Simplify your test run executions by allowing your test run Status to automatically update to Passed or Failed based on the status of individual test steps.
Automatically update statuses in your test runs.
That means you can choose to fail a test run if a single test step is failed, or pass a test run if each individual step has passed. Maintain consistency between your overall test run and each individual test step, without spending any extra time to make sure everything matches up.
Don't worry, you can still manually override the automatic Status at any point.
You can turn on this feature in Test Execution Settings.
Expanded support for import templates
Updated qTest import templates to support XLSX, in addition to XLS.
Security updates
We performed some background changes to improve the overall security of qTest Manager.
Updated Jira integration syncing
If you ever need to force a sync between your Jira instance and qTest, now you can sync all of your projects with a single button. Whether you need to sync Jira integrations in one project or 100 projects, this can save you valuable time.
Once you've set up each Jira integration for your projects, administrators can use Sync Jira Connections to force a sync for defects, requirements, and releases for every project you have connected to Jira.
