Release Notes - 19 Nov 2018

New Features available for you to benefit from:

Included in this release are the following features:

  • New Commands: Commands to locate and replace all occurrences of a substring within a string.

    Two new commands are introduced in this release, as part of 'Commands for Math & String functions', that help you in implementing within your automated tests the logic of locating a substring within a string and replace all the occurrences of that substring with another substring. Stated another way, you can do substring replacements within a string using these commands.

    1. locateSubstringPosition
    2. replaceSubstringOccurrencesWithinAString

    These new commands have many use cases. One use case is involves the script snippets within your automated tests that is responsible for composing and distributing emails during run time execution. In this use case, you may typically have a need of including the anchor tag in HTML that includes the hyperlink which when clicked takes the email recipient to the test execution results page of a specific test. To accomplish the goal of inserting hyperlinks pointing to specific pages/test entity instances within the Worksoft SaaS application, you can use these new commands along with the commands:

  • "storeRandomNumber": Productivity improvement to allow a range of integers as inputs.

    The storeRandomNumber command is enhanced to allow a range of integers as input in the target field. Until now, this command supported only integers (less than 10) to generate a random number. With this release, you will be able to provide a range of integers. The range of integers should be in the following format 'X - Y'. (example: 10-20). 

    You can use the range option in use cases wherein you are driving your data-driven automated test using filtered rows from a data file that are within a range that is not starting from the first row (example: 10-20 rows) and you want a random row# chosen from within that row range each time or the next time your test in run.  

    The target for this command can only of the format 'X' or 'X - Y' where X and Y are integers and Y has to be greater than X. Patterns like 'X - " or " - Y" or "X - Y - Z" or "2.5" or "3.5 - 10.9" is NOT supported.

  • Files Module: Productivity improvement to upload of files with archive format 'zip'.

    Until now, we have support to upload Files to Worksoft SaaS with different file formats such as images, documents, spreadsheets, audio, and video. With this release, you have the option to upload the archive format 'zip' within your automated tests during the run-time. To know more about the file formats supported in Worksoft SaaS, click here.
