Published versions and upcoming versions of Agilitest

• File transfer - File upload
  
  • New action that allows you to download files without going through the standard save component on Windows, Linux, or macOS, but by retrieving the URL of the downloaded file with the hyperlink component in a web page

‍

• Moving directories with file renaming and sub-script calls
  
  • Several script directories can be moved in the project explorer. Moving them will automatically rename sub-script calls or references to the use of these scripts and sub-scripts

‍

• Project output directory added to the ATS script's special values
  
  • Option to use the default output directory for the current project. This allows you to save files and access files generated during test executions. This is a special value that can be retrieved from the special values menu in a text entry (ATS script values > Project path)

‍

• Priority element by default
  
  • When an action is performed on the “root” element of a web application, the action will attempt to be performed primarily on the element that is the default focus in the application

‍

• Use of space in uploads
  
  • During an upload, if there were spaces in the path of the file to be uploaded, this caused an error in the upload action

‍

• Passwords management with the “p data” file
  
  • When the “pdata” file (old password storage mode) was not deleted, password management with the new mode did not work correctly

‍

• “textContent” recovery with Selenium
  
  • In some cases, retrieving the textContent property with Selenium could add non-printable characters that prevented values from being compared or elements from being searched for by property

‍

• Ability to load Chromium extensions with remote, local, or directory files
  
  • Ability to load extensions for Chromium-based browsers by defining the paths to the extension. You can define either a path to a crx file or to the entire extension directory. In addition, you can define extensions either in the ats properties file or in the startup arguments of a Chromium-based browser channel

  • Now you can choose between several available JDK distributions from the Agilitest settings tab

‍

• Check error in playlist test selection (null script)
  
  • In some cases, if the user moved or renamed scripts outside of Agilitest, Playlists that used these scripts were no longer synchronized and errors could occur. Now, it is possible to view these errors and manually clean up these faulty scripts.

‍

• Update UI for import script and package in execution Playlists
  
  • Improved ergonomics and visuals for importing scripts and script packages

‍

• Real time management of the Playlists
  
  • Changes to playlists are saved in real time, there is no need to press the save button anymore

  • In the playlist selection, the scripts in a package are displayed after each package. It is not possible to rearrange the order in which scripts are executed between scripts and packages

‍

• Element selector rectangle more reliable when elements are inside iFrames 
  
  • In certain web applications and specific cases, elements displayed in iFrames were not displayed correctly in execution reports

‍

• Generate ATSV_HTML in docker container
  
  • ATSV_HTML runs in a Docker container

‍

• Concatenation of nested variables 
  
  • Concatenating different types of variables did not work in all cases, for example in the property file where you can concatenate a prefix, an environment variable, and a parameter variable

‍

• Catch enter text error when dialog box does not exist
  
  • When text was entered into a dialog box that had not appeared, the error was not captured during test execution

‍

• Use of a lower than character in variable in editor
  
  • The “<” character was not visible in certain types of actions in the editor

‍

• Support of JDK 25 in editor
  
  • JDK 25 is now officially supported in the Agilitest editor and in test execution

‍

• ATS velocity in environment variable
  
  • The ATS_VELOCITY environment variable was not taken into account when launching an ATS test from the command line

‍

• Use of a lower than “<” character in scripts variables
  
  • Script variable values appeared empty when this character was used

‍

• Management of backslash “\” character in properties files
  
  • The “\” character caused problems when used in properties files

‍

• Default values of ”\” and “#” characters
  
  • Correction of the characters “\” and “#” used in the default values of parameters and environment variables

‍

• ATSV clean= true or false
  
  • The ATSV_CLEAN=true environment variable can now be used during test execution to clean up ATSV files at the end of an execution. The “clean-atsv” command-line command will always take precedence over the environment variable

‍

• Ability to pass parameters to a script launched from the command line
  
  • In the ATS launcher, you can add another parameter called “parameters” followed by one or more parameters separated by commas. These parameters will be used in a script when a script is called. 
  • Example: java AtsLauncher.java ats-report=3 suite.var=chrome script=AtsDemoScript parameters=param1,param2,param3
    

‍

• Historization of search item in the editor
  
  • Searches for elements are reusable

‍

• Possiblity to click on a group TAG of a script
  
  • Opens the selected group in the groups panel

‍

• ATS properties: Management of the algorithm for calculating resilience and wait times during execution
  
  • One of the basic principles of ATS operations is to use this algorithm. Its variables have not changed much in recent years, so we decided to overhaul this algorithm and the expectation values. Developments and material improvements in runtime hardware and networks have made this overhaul possible
  • 3 levels of algorithm execution have been implemented:
  • The “aggressive” level: Provides faster execution; the “normal” level: Provides standard execution based on several years of testing experience; the “safe” level: Provides more secure times and algorithms.
  • This is achieved by passing a parameter in the command line when executing a test. In the ATS launcher, we use the “velocity” parameter, while in the Java command line, we use “ats-velocity” and “ATS_VELOCITY” as environment variables (the command line takes precedence over all other variables).
  • Example with the ATS launcher: java AtsLauncher.java ats-report=3 suite.var=chrome velocity=agressive script=AtsDemoScript

• Report summary: Inside execution report the header was not visible when using a font color or double quotes in the summarie’s code

‍

• Code error Javascript, Python
  
  • When a JavaScript or Python subscript had a syntax error or was not executable, the script did not stop at that error. Now, an error in the code stops execution

‍

• Reports: Duration by action type
  
  • Now all actions in a test case have their action times displayed in reports. There are 7 different types of actions, each with their own action time
• Search for "used by" scripts and data files: Displaying “potential uses”
  
  • These potential uses correspond to variable names. This will display a list of scripts that could potentially be called with a variable, as opposed to scripts that are definitely called by name
• Search for items for the file upload action to view all items relevant to this action
  
  • Search for all elements that can accept the upload action. This search is used to identify invisible elements that cannot be dragged and dropped but exist on the page (input elements of type file)
• Soap header recovery
  
  • Header properties recovery when capturing elements from a SOAP API call

• Property variables : Variabilization of the property file’s name
  

• Previously, only the key could be variabilized, but now the property file name can also be variabilized using environment variables, project variables, script variables, and parameters

• Cleaning of dangling images on container engines (Docker and Podman)
  
  • Dangling images correspond to intermediate images needed to build other images

‍

• Java JDK 24 and Temurin 21 version support
  
  • Agilitest regularly updates its components and Java in order to avoid any security issues and vulnerabilities. Currently, Agilitest is compatible with versions 21 to 24 of Open JDK and version 21 of Temurin
  • Temurin is a secure, high-performance Java runtime environment that has been rigorously tested for stability and optimized for transparent operation in a variety of environments
  https://adoptium.net/temurin
• Reports: Group management
  
  • Modification of graphics to be more consistent with the version in the editor. More visible and understandable reading of groups with the display of the group name, trigram, color, and description
• Memory management improvment
  
  • Improves memory object management to enable better memory release after closing scripts and data files
• "Used by" pop modification
  
  • Standardization of element usage search items
• Choice of whether to use a local image in containers (Podman and Docker)
  
  • Check "local image" in configuration tu use only a local image, which is an image from the machine and not from the container remote repository

• Capture tool: Scroll bar fixed when a lot of elements appear in a webpage
  
  • The parent window of the captured element could exceed the height of the screen, so a maximum height was defined to view this list

• Using a local container image to run Linux Ubuntu desktop
  
  • When using local image for Linux Ubuntu "desktop" the container would not start (see added section for local images)

• ATSV_HTML environment variable, link in the report
  
  • When the system environment variable ATSV_HTML=true was set, this generated the animated ATSV_HTML report but did not create the link to this report in the execution report
