Version 8

You can now migrate from Zephyr Squad Server to Zephyr Squad Data Center. You need to use Jira build-in functionality import a backup file of Jira and select a project to restore the data. Check Server to Data Center Migration Guide to find detailed information.

We improved performance and stability by optimizing the Archived Executions page to fetch project permissions selectively. This solution prevents server crashes caused by high load on archived executions.

We resolved the issue when links in Test Summary page opened as blank pages with 404 errors when Jira is configured with a proxy. Zephyr Test Summary links now open correctly with the appropriate Base URL when you use Jira with a proxy.

We improved search functionality in ZQL Advanced Search to allow search for assignees by use of customer full name, username, or email ID. This provides more flexibility and convenience.

The "OF-Procurement" label is now displayed in the "Tests by Label" section of the Test Summary page.

We improved server stability and performance by implementing project-specific permission checking. Now the default selection of the current Jira project on the Archived Executions page prevents crashes caused by excessive load.

We resolved the issue with the concurrent import of test cases in DC nodes. This prevents the error 'Issue service could not create test', and ensures a smooth import process across multiple nodes.

We fixed the '+' signs under Test Details and Test Executions in the Search test page that didn’t function as expected. They now open the create pop-up as intended.

To improve the stability of the Jira instance and to let customers control how many and how often external REST API requests users can make we introduced rate limiting of REST API’s. Now admins are able to set rate limits for the REST API’s. The settings apply to all users in a Jira instance and to each node of the cluster. You can find Rate limiting under General Configuration Settings.

Traceability / Export functionalities produce correct data in proper order now.

Now when you want to export your test executions to CSV format all the test step details field values display properly.

Test Execution status now updates in the Test Execution issue link under the View issue page.

Files exported from the query (XML, Excel, HTML and CSV) contain Estimated and Logged time values now.

We improved soft Re-index performance and implemented batch processing.

Data import from the xlsx file no longer fails, even if the file contains an excessive number of empty rows.

Now, when you use Basic Search, you can find and select your folder in the drop-down list.

We fixed the issue you faced while creating the configuration using XSS in the Test Automation tab.

After upgrading the build to 8.0.3, you could not download the execution attachments on the Execution Details page.

Using the Export Execution API, you could only download the exported file without any data.

From the Configure Linktype for Requirement to tests dropdown list, when you tried to configure and save a different link, it did not save the selected configuration.

When there were more than 5000 projects, the Importer loaded all the projects even if you selected some particular ones.

Test step attachments for Step, Execution, and Step result are missing after you change the project key.

On the Importer page, when you select a project from the search box, the dropdown list showed all the projects.

You were unable to export test cases having test steps with special characters in the Test step custom fields.

On the Copy Zephyr Test Steps dialog box, you can clone the test steps along with their attachments. You must select the Clone Attachments checkbox to clone the attachments.

You can clone the assignee value and defect links while cloning a test cycle or folder in the Plan Test Cycle page. You must select the Clone Assignee and the Clone Defect Links check box in the Clone Cycle dialog box.

In the Execute Test dialog box on the View Issue page, you can create a new test cycle by selecting Create New Test Cycle option from the Test Cycle dropdown list. You can also create a new folder by selecting the Create New Folder in the Test Folder dropdown list.

On the Test Automation page, a page refresh navigates a user to the last worked page. For example, if a user is working in the Defect Configuration tab and refreshes the page, the page refresh navigates a user to the Defect Configuration tab.

The Search Test Execution page when opened displays the last searched project.

We are supporting Cypress as one of the test automation frameworks options. We have added Cypress in the test automation supported framework list.

The autocomplete support on JQL input box is added. Now, when you start typing in the JQL search bar in the Via JQL Search option of the Add Tests dialog box, you see words being predicted.

On exporting the Traceability Matrix to Excel, a new headline gets added and some of the data is duplicated in the spreadsheet.

On the Importer screen, the size of the arrow in all the dropdowns appears inconsistent.

On opening the Test Case Execution search, it loads all results in the advanced view and then switches to the basic view.
