New Feature: Enhanced Call to Test

We enhanced Call to Test functionality (formerly Shared Steps) to boost re-usability for large scale test cases libraries. It now allows you to break down test cases into smaller, reusable pieces. Then, Call to Test recombines these test cases to achieve larger end-to-end testing scenarios. Test cases can be referenced (called) in other test cases to create nested, reusable structures. Using these, the test team can combine as many variations as needed to test the application by both functional area and end-user workflow.Calling a Test Case with Parameters

New Feature: Accelerated Design with Data-Driven Test Cases

The brand new Test Data functionality unlocks Data-Driven testing (DDT) inside Zephyr Scale. DDT is a test design approach where test data are separated from the actual test case. DDT enables the repetition of the same sequence of test steps with the help of a data source in order to drive the input values of those steps and the expected values while verification steps are performed. Commonly, test cases are designed using variables in the test step level. A variable placeholder is added in the test step to receive the values from the data source instead of using hard-coded or fixed values.Data-Driven Testing (DDT) - Overview

New Feature: Modular Parameterized Test Cases

Parameterization has been introduced to allow the users to create even more generic test cases and reusable modules. In essence, parameters are used to unlock more flexibility when calling or invoking test cases. You can invoke a reusable test case by passing a set of parameters, which can affect how input or output data are displayed or processed during the test execution. Parameters can contain default values, however, the tester should be able to change each one of the default parameters according to the context of the test at hand.Using Parameters

You can also compare versions, see the history of changes by version, and report on multiple versions of the same test case. That means you can manage the results of testing on all versions of an application with a single test case rather than having to clone the test case for each supported version.

Update: Updated "Send us Feedback" Link

Following the migration of the Kanoah Service Desk to Zephyr Scale Product Support we have updated the destination of this link in versions 4.2 onwards of Zephyr Scale.

Update: REST API Improvements

Now, when retrieving test runs, the status and execution date information is included.

Also, there is a new field for test runs: Execution summary. This field summarizes the statuses of all its items.

Support has been added for creating and modifying issue links of Test Results via the API.
