2023.1 - TestResults.io platform
Release Details
Released TestResults.io test automation platform 5.0.0.0
Release Components
Visual Designer: 5.0.0.0
TestResults.io Engine: 5.0.0.0
TestResults.io Models (available at nuget.org):
BaseModel: 5.0.0.0
EnvironmentModel Windows : 5.0.0.0
New Features
Visual Designer:
Further improve VisualSense Detection: Better recognition of the correct elements, false detections are reduced in many situations. VisualSense detection can now be limited to the screen rectangle, leading to up to 5 times faster detection.
Improvements for RDP Connection: Did you know you can also connect to your test environment with the Remote Desktop Protocol?
Simpler Templates - for even faster onboarding The templates that are used for the first test case were simplified to only include a normal test step. In case you need the full template (e.g. with Precondition and Cleanup Steps), just add another test case.
Images cleanup when removing a screen or element. When you remove a screen or an element on a screen, all corresponding images are cleaned up. Images that are still referenced by another element are kept in the project.
It’s now possible to add, rename and remove folders directly from Screen Explorer - no longer constantly switching to the Solution Explorer.
Bugfixes and improvements for additional efficiency
Engine:
Improve Memory Consumption - searching for images was made much more efficient, especially when searching for multiple images in parallel.
Bugfixes and improvements for more reliability
Models:
Simplify Textdetection on Tables, support multiple Parameter sets to make finding dynamic entries even more reliable.
New methods for tables (GetFirstRow, GetLastRow, GetAllVisibleRows, CountVisibleRows).
Add support for tables where column headers scroll with table.
Support for more commands on OS level - more possibilities in the interaction with the operating system.
