CA Service Virtualization /CA Application Test/ CA Application Insight r8.3
We are pleased to announce that the DevTest 8.3 including CA Service Virtualization, CA Application Test and CA Continuous Application Insight 8.3 is generally available (GA) as of August 10, 2015. This release includes both fixes to reported issues as well as enhancements to our 3 core products based on customer feedback and ideas.
Here is a list of the notable enhancements in this release:
CA Service Virtualization
- Copybook User Interface has moved out of the sandbox into the product. You can now load and edit copybooks, create mapping files and save them for use in a Virtual Service recording all in the DevTest Portal.
CA Application Test
- Selenium test steps now support Firefox 38 and 39
- Mobile testing runtime properties can be added to DevTest Portal. This option is useful for adding tags that can be queried in reporting.
- Remote Recording allows you to record mobile tests on a remote computer during a local session
CA Continuous Application Insight
- Advanced Shelf Has been moved out of the sandbox to the product. This feature makes it easer to find your transactions to put on the shelf by category based on a selection in the GUI vs. knowing the objects name.
- Import/Export Recordings Has move out of the sandbox to the product. When you document transactions with the portal you can now easily export or import all of the associated transactions in a documented transaction allowing you to share them across environments.
- Usage Count Has move out of the sandbox to the product. When you start folding paths you can now see the use counts for a specific path, this will be interesting to see if you code is looping our or has lots of recursive calls.
- New parameterization of input data and assertions To make the generated tests more robust, data seen as input or generated as the output of a test step is now automatically filtered and parameterize for you. This will save you 1000’s of hours modifying tests and updating them to be fully data driven.
