ReadyAPI has fully transitioned to the ID-based SmartBear License Management (SLM) system. We strongly encourage users still utilizing file-based licensing, including key-based and ProtectionLS floating licenses, to migrate before the September 1, 2024 deadline to avoid commercial impact. Please be aware that support for file-based licensing has ended and technical support is no longer available, which may lead to unresolved technical issues. If you cannot migrate from file-based licensing before September 1, 2024, it is crucial to contact your SmartBear representative immediately to align with our deprecation plans and avoid disruptions. Additionally, retaining file-based licenses for any solution expansions or renewals after this date will result in a service charge of up to 30% of the renewal or expansion invoice value to cover the extension costs. To avoid these charges, please initiate your migration now. If you are still in the process of migrating or have yet to start, contact your Account Manager or SmartBear representative today. Our teams are ready to assist with smooth transition strategies. For additional support, please log a request with our Customer Care Team, who are standing by to help. |
1.31.0 (June 05, 2024)
-
SLM authentication migrated to use Auth0 for improved security.
-
Improved the shutdown behavior so that the call to the unlock endpoint of the SLM server is sent during product shutdown, ensuring the license is correctly unlocked.
-
Created a function to perform and parse CURL and CLI requests from the command line to TestEngine.
-
After updating httpclient, ReadyAPI changed the way of building request URLs. TestEngine was modified to support this new behavior, ensuring duplicate '/' symbols are not merged.
-
Set the disableSniHostCheck flag to true by default to avoid issues with HTTPS communication.
-
Fixed an error related to unmatched closing Regex Patterns when running test cases in RAPI 3.48. TestEngine was updated to support this fix.
-
When the "Use Access for Everyone" checkbox is selected, the access key input window will be cleared and not used to install the license.
-
TestEngine is updated to support ReadyAPI 3.53.
TestEngine 1.31.0 includes newer versions of previously used libraries.
1.30.0 (October 23, 2023)
-
We resolved an issue where an incorrect license was presented in TestEngine when the SLM SaaS license was installed in ReadyAPI. Additionally, addressed the inability to uninstall this license. The license was showing as a "File-based license."
-
The command-line interface (CLI) and console now feature updated error messages in case the test project fails to refresh the access token.
-
TestEngine now provides compatibility for running gRPC tests that were created and updated in ReadyAPI.
-
We added a checkbox to simplify the license installation process when working within private networks.
-
TestEngine no longer removes users; instead, it deactivates them. We have redesigned the user interface to indicate that users are deactivated.
-
In the test job result report, there is an additional "Success Ratio" column with the format <passed-count>/<total-count> next to the status.
-
We added a new column in both the overview and history tables, showing "Run Time," specifically dedicated to displaying the "Test Run Time." This addition aims to provide users with a clear distinction between the run time while a test suite is being executed and the total time required to complete the test suite.
-
We provided installers for Mac X64 and ARM.
-
TestEngine CLI 1.9.0 is released.
TestEngine 1.30.0 includes newer versions of previously used libraries.
1.29.1 (July 26, 2023)
Important Updates for customers
-
When installing and starting TestEngine, there's a conflict with the Guice framework that prevents TestEngine from starting if a user has ReadyAPI installed and running on the same machine while being logged in. To resolve this, log out from ReadyAPI, start TestEngine, and then log back into ReadyAPI to install your license.
-
1.29.1 introduced an unintended issue that will be fixed in a future release. When installing an ID-Based License through the on-premise workflow with an SLM license server configured for Access for Everyone, there is a validation setting in the Access Key field. It requires a character entry to activate the Install button.
-
From October 2023, we won't provide file-based licensing. Instead, we will replace it with SmartBear ID-based licensing - With TestEngine 1.29.0, we extend support for SmartBear ID-based licenses hosted on SmartBear licensing servers. You can now specify your Access Key in the license installation process and request a license, once is it made available and assigned on manage.smartbear.com. As we approach the October milestone, we're actively encouraging customers to transition over. Now is the time to start planning that transition. You should immediately engage with your SmartBear Account Manager to understand the steps involved in transitioning and getting started. Please read here to learn more.
-
We released TestEngine CLI in Version 1.8.0.
-
In 1.29.1, we fixed the problem with test steps in ReadyAPI projects that required a Pro license. Now they work as expected in TestEngine for SLM licenses.
1.28.0 (April 26, 2023)
-
From October 2023, we won't provide file-based licensing. Instead, we will replace it with SmartBear ID-based licensing - SmartBear ID-based licensing (also known as SmartBear License Management or SLM), is a new license management option that we started using in ReadyAPI 3.8.1. Support for SmartBear ID-based licenses is now being added to TestEngine 1.28. It is more reliable and convenient than the license type used in the previous product versions. As we approach the October milestone, we're actively encouraging customers to transition over. Now is the time to start planning that transition. You should immediately engage with your SmartBear Account Manager to understand the steps involved in transitioning and getting started. Please read here to learn more.
Note: Support for SmartBear ID-based licenses is starting with offline (Customer on-premise) deployment in Q2 2023 (where the customer hosts the license server on-premise). We will add support for online (SmartBear hosts the license servers) later in 2023.
