Release notes

New Features

• New in-app navigation - Redesigned navigation for improved usability and faster access to key areas.
• Bulk actions in the Test Case Executions panel on the Test Execution - Assign users to multiple Test Case Executions at once. You can also change TCE statuses in bulk.
• Defect count visible on Test Plan / Test Case lists — The number of linked defects is now displayed on the list view in Test Plans and Test Cases.
• Collapsible lists in ATM fields — When an ATM Test Case or ATM Test Plan field contains more than 10 elements, the list is now automatically collapsed for readability.

Improvements

• Copy navigator link from repository — You can now copy a direct link to a test case from the repository view.
• Block status changes for iterations — Prevented unintended status changes on iterations.
• Improved column values in import — Enhanced handling of column values during test case import.
• Link existing defects to Test Case Executions — Directly link already-reported defects to a test case execution without creating duplicates. This option is available on the Test Case Execution view.

Automatic TCE Status Updates The overall status of a Test Case Execution (TCE) now automatically updates based on its individual test steps:

• In Progress: Triggered when at least one step is Passed, Blocked, or In Progress.
• Failed: Triggered immediately if at least one step fails.
• Passed: Triggered only when all steps are successfully marked as Passed.

New Requirements Filter

• Work Item Picker: We added a “Requirements” filter when selecting Test Cases on the Test Execution, allowing you to display only the test cases linked to a specific requirement. This filter is also available on the Test Case Execution list within the Test Execution view.

Test Repository Upgrades

• Floating Action Menu: Select multiple Test Cases to reveal a bottom menu for bulk-creating a Test Execution or Test Plan.
• Context-Aware Creation: The new Create Test Case button automatically pre-selects the correct Jira Space and Work Type for your project.
• Table Management: Sort Test Cases by clicking column headers (Work Key, Summary, Priority, Status).
• Tree Navigation: Use Expand all and Collapse all options in the folder tree menu.

Open Testing Hub & Project Navigation

• Open Access: The Testing Hub (Projects, Get Started, and Reports) is now accessible to all users. Project creation and global configuration remain admin-only.
• Starred Projects: Click the star icon to pin a Testing Project to your favorites.
• Advanced Filtering: The Testing Projects list is now sorted alphabetically and can be filtered by Jira Spaces or Starred items.

ATM Repository

We are thrilled to introduce the ATM Repository, a dedicated folder-based view that allows you to build a clear, hierarchical structure for your Test Cases. You can now easily organize your testing elements by module or feature using a visual folder tree, complete with drag-and-drop functionality and bulk actions.

To give you full control over your testing assets, we have also updated our documentation to highlight all available Organization Methods. Alongside the new Repository, remember that you can also use dynamic grouping via Test Plans and multidimensional categorization using native Jira Fields.

REST API

This release delivers the first version of the public REST API in Appsvio Test Management. The API covers core test management domains, including:

• Test Cases with Test Case Steps and Test Case Versions,
• Test Plans,
• and related metadata.

This new API empowers you to automate test management, connect ATM with your CI/CD pipelines, and build custom integrations tailored to your workflows.

Test Case Architect: Test Case Refinement

Testers can now refine existing Test Cases using the Rovo Agent. From the Ask Rovo or Improve options, the Agent analyzes current Test Steps and suggests improvements in a structured table. Upon confirmation, it updates the Test Case by creating a new version of the Test Steps. This ensures Test Cases stay aligned with changing Requirements while maintaining clear traceability of all modifications.

Traceability Report: CSV Export

The Traceability Report can now be exported to a CSV file. This enables users to further analyze or share traceability data outside Jira, for example, by loading it into spreadsheets or other reporting tools, while preserving the structure and relationships visible in the report.

Naming Update: Testing Setup → Testing Project

We have updated the naming across the app: “Testing Setup” is now called “Testing Project.” This change aligns terminology with how users organize and manage their testing initiatives, without impacting existing configurations or data.

Test Case Execution Iterations

Users can now manage multiple iterations for a single Test Case. A new All Iterations tab within the TCE dialog provides a centralized view of execution history, allowing for direct status and assignee updates. Navigation has been streamlined with a “Back to all iterations” shortcut, and the specific iteration number is now clearly displayed during execution.

Test Steps Configuration

Administrators can customize the Test Step interface. Through the global settings, the visibility of the Action, Data, and Results fields can be toggled, and their display order rearranged via drag-and-drop. These layout changes automatically sync across the Test Case panel, full-screen view, and execution screens while ensuring all historical data remains safely stored.

Traceability Report: Layout

The Configure layout button provides two tabs for report customization:

• Work Item Layout: Users can add up to three additional fields (e.g., Priority, Sprint, Components) for Requirements, Test Cases, and Defects.
• Testing Objects: Users can filter the visible elements. Options include:
  • Select all: Displays all columns and objects (default).
  • Only Requirements and Test Cases.
  • Requirements, Test Cases, and Test Case Executions.

Traceability Report: Export

The Export button generates a PDF based on the current view. Linked requirements are repeated in separate rows to ensure clarity.

Test Case Import

A dedicated Import section is now available within the Testing Hub to facilitate data migration from external tools, specifically Xray. This functionality allows for the bulk transfer of Test Cases via .xlsx files, reducing manual data entry and minimizing migration errors.

License

Appsvio Test Management has transitioned to a paid licensing model on the Atlassian Marketplace.

Bug Bounty Program

Appsvio Test Management is now an active participant in the Atlassian Bug Bounty Program.

Sample Project

Accelerate the learning curve with a pre-populated sample project. New users can generate a sample project during the initial setup to quickly familiarize themselves with the app features and interface before creating their own data.

Preconditions Field

Define test prerequisites using the new Preconditions custom field.

• Test Case View: Use this field to document requirements (e.g., “User must be logged in,” “Cart is empty”) when designing the test.
• Test Case Execution: Testers view these requirements in the Execution object window to verify the environment before starting the run.

Call Tests

Reuse test steps by embedding an existing test case within another test case. Use this feature to modularize your tests (e.g., creating a standard “Login” case) and insert them into complex scenarios to avoid unnecessary duplication.

Rovo Agent Integration

The Test Case Architect (Rovo Agent) now supports preconditions. When you ask the agent to generate a Test Case, it automatically includes suggested Preconditions in its response alongside the Test Steps.

Reporting & Defects

• Traceability Reports: Introduced end-to-end reporting to track the lifecycle of requirements through to test execution.
• Test Coverage Reports: Added visual coverage metrics to identify gaps in testing.
• Defect Management: A new Environments custom field is now available on Defect work items, allowing for precise environment specification when logging bugs.

This is the first release of Appsvio Test Management.
