QAComplete Feature Requests

Test Runner screen is one of the layouts can't be customized at the moment in the app. In addition, the default view of pre-set fields does not allocate much room for some fields like,   worth case for us,  Title   (test case name) column.   For manual testing it requires to always resize this field prior execution and changes aren't save after window is closed. In a big organization, with a large amount of test sets per QA, going through these few clicks can definitely result in a real time waster.   As discussed here: http://community.smartbear.com/t5/QAComplete-Feature-Requests/QAComplete-add-the-Priority-of-Test-Cases-to-the-Test-Runner/idi-p/98369    We looked into providing a "screen layout" for the test   runner   and it proved to be a larger issue than we expected.   1) Is this feature in development or dropped? I can't find a related ticket to Kudo it.   2) Would it be possible that changes in size/length of fields are kept after the test runner is closed? So that opening a new test runner screen will display exact setting of previous screen. ... View more

After a test run is completed (all steps marked either pass or fail) its outcome gets locked and can't be altered.   While the reason behind its logic and needed, adding the ability of changing test outcome depending on access level (admin/lead access only) would allow more flexibility and would help in situations like:   Several test runs are completed as failed due to an issue that was overlook and in the end not an issue. This mistake can not be amended and a new run is required, which will then require more work when extracting metrics etc.   Test outcome should be editable as long as End Run button was not pressed. ...

I know that ALMComplete allows us to make custom dashboards and reports. That being said, most of us do not have the security clearance to do that. This is an area where we need a MAJOR improvement. Get rid of Crystal Reports! Tools that have a learning curve or require SQL knowledge leave many people behind. We don’t have that kind of time. A simple way of creating reports and dashboards is needed! ... View more

We need a method by which a step or series of steps can be written once and called from multiple tests. For example, I want to write a login procedure and then call it from other tests. Specifically, I want to have a test step something like “Call ‘Login’”. At execution, this step would be replaced by the steps in the test called “Login”. I do not want to copy the steps (as we do now), because then I have to maintain those steps in many places. ... View more

This would allow creation of a super Test Set, made up of other test sets without having to add each test to it individually, and prevent having to update multiple test sets when one test is added. ... View more

QAC makes entering Test Steps and Expected Results quick and easy.  What is not quick is having to change tabs, upload a limited number of files, and specify the mapping for which file should be associate with a particular step.  I would like to see this process streamlined and on the same tab as Test Steps.    Perhaps after tabbing past Expected Results, you could have a load file icon which would have the focus, the user could press the space bar, select the file, click Okay, and continue tabbing to enter the next Step and Expected Result.  Below is a mockup of what it could look like.   ...

There are only 2 ways to link a test to a configuration...either 1. select the test (or test set), open the link to items, select the configuration folder, and check each sub item (e.g. Windows8>IE, and Chrome and Firefox), repeating for each config folder. 2. select the configuration, open the link to items, specify type and folder, and individually check every item (test) in the folder.  Repeat for every configuration.   Even with just a few Windows environments, each with 3 or 4 different browsers, times our 2500 tests, and this is a monumental task.  While we could have done it as we created tests, our focus was on creating the tests, and not linking..that was a mistake.   However now, we need to make these links, yet we are looking at nearly 10,000 clicks/steps.   If nothing else, in the selection of tests (or sets) drop down, add a "Select All" to check all tests in that folder.  Then we would just need to repeat for each Configuration, each folder...a much more manageable task.     ...

I would like to be able to select an option in QA Complete for it to assign test runs to the next available host from my pool of test hosts rather than limiting test runs to one specific host, this is not an efficient use of resources. ... View more

It would be a really good feature to have an abiltiy to link an existing active defect that causing the test to fail during the Test Execution from the Test Set. Currently all we can see is "Auto Create Defect" window. This would be really helpful in failing test case and continue to excute the restof the test cases from test set by simply adding an existing defect to it     ... View more

Can you please reduce the SmartBear Banner at the top of the page. This will enable us to see more of what we have purchased the product for..   Can you also reduce the of the Customer Company logo box (bottom left hand corner).

Color Code alert on all Linked Items when there is a change in existing Requirements has been created and assigned with a Standard priority. We will respond to you as soon as possible. [Case - 00140954]   Most of the time Business Analysts modify requirements or add additional Information to the requirements. It would be really nice to have a feature which would highlight the change and affected Items for user and Project benefit.     Recomendation - highlight all those linked Items with a "YELLOW" color so that all related Users, once logged into QAComplete, can see and acknowledge the change ...

In the Test Library, I can display all tests linked to a release or not linked to a release by using a filter. This is not intuitive to many of our testers. To be consistent with the other entities in the system, it would be helpful to have a Releases tab in the navigation pane on the left before the Folders tab as is the case for Test Sets. ...

Some feature requests for the dashboard: 1) A "Refresh button" for each individual dashboard widget. Sometimes I'm not sure if it's up to date and refreshing the whole page is pretty silly. So maybe a "refresh all widgets" or the ability to refresh and individual widget would be great. 2) Each dashboard widget should indicate how it is being filtered by some kind of header. In the attached image I can't tell that that widget is filtered by a single release that I am targeting (unless there is another widget I should be using?)   Thanks m ... View more

The issue I'm facing is in Test Runner in regards to selecting the Test Host for an Automated Test to execute on. I don't set a Default Test Host for my tests because we use a set of different Test Hosts, usually depending on which environment we want to run the tests on or just whichever is available. So when launching a Test or Test Set we simply select the Test Host for each on the Test Runner screen using the < Select Host > drop-down:     This works fine for running single tests, or test sets with only a couple automated tests. But we have some Test Sets with a larger number of tests, and we'd like to have even larger test sets. But it's very tedious to have to select the Test Host for each test in a test set when running the tests. What I'd like is an ability to select the Test Host for all of the Automated Tests in a Test set at the same time.     ... View more

When associating a requirement to a Release (Release A), keep track of the version of the requirement and test cases that relate to this.    If in further releases (Release B) a requirement or a test case changes, the Release B will be associated to the new version of the Requirement and/or Test Case, but Release A will not be affected by that.   Optionally, offer through a dialog if any of the linked (and still active) releases needs to be updated or not to link to the new Req/TC version ...
