• Component’s custom extensions can now be exported and imported across Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator instances. Exporting a component automatically includes custom extensions that have been created for the component. The elements added as part of the custom extensions are also available in the test data spreadsheet and in the flow test data’s ‘data from..’ feature that supports mapping of test data from a component’s response.

• The new filters on the summary report provide you with options to view and focus on specific content in the flow run summary. This improves the ease of use and provides finer grain control of the summary report. With the new filters, you can select and filter the summary report to view only failed steps or steps that correspond to the execution of specific types of flow steps. In addition to the filters, the option to view the summary report as a list of all the results of each step or as a table showcasing the validations at step has been provided. These filters make it easier for you to look to specific information in the summary report.

• Quick Run next to the flow name in the flow tree structure opens the Test Flow dialog box. It enables you to quickly run the test flow. The Edit icon next to the flow has been replaced with Edit icon to accurately depict the operation. In addition, the right-click context menu of the test flow now lists the important options first. This is followed by the More submenu listing other options.

• A new option on the right-click context menu on the flow allows to export individual flows from Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator. The export supports extraction of individual flows from Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator without the need to navigate to the Tools > Export Flows in Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator.

• Inactive users (users who do not have permissions to access Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator) can be deleted using Administration > Users page in Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator. This removes all the references to the specific user in Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator.

• You can now add test flows to a flow set by selecting one or more flow test data sets for each flow. The flow set run will run each flow with all the selected flow test data sets. The flow set management's improved user interface displays all the available test data sets for a flow when adding a flow to the flow set, which makes it easier for you to quickly select the required test data sets by dragging and dropping them appropriately. You can do this for multiple flows through the same window, which further enhances the ease of use. Updating of the flow test data sets in a flow set has also been made easier owing to this new user interface as it provides a consolidated view of the test data sets that have been selected for a flow

• The CM Content Upgrade run history is now available for your viewing. The CM Content Upgrade user interface has been enhanced to include a table to show the list of CM Content Upgraded processes that have been run. Irrespective of the user who has triggered the process, all users with requisite permissions can view the CM Content Upgrade run status. Improvements have also been made in the logs to display the list of all the flows that have been upgraded as part of the CM Content Upgrade run. The start time and end time of the run provides information pertaining to the duration of the upgrade process.

• You can now click the Flow Execution ID in the flow run list table in the Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator dashboard to navigate to the specific flow run directly.

• The user interface of flow configuration set and user configuration set has been improved to make it easier to provide the property values and add/manage custom properties. The flow and user configuration sets user interface has been enhanced to categorize the properties into:

• Base: Lists properties that are common for SOAP and REST based web services.

• Authentication Properties: Lists the properties under base that are required for authentication of the web service request.

• Other Properties (Optional): Lists the properties under base that are optional.

• REST: Lists the properties that are specific to REST web services.

• Custom: Lists any custom properties that you add to the configuration sets.

• Selective export of flows allows you to export a specific selection of flows from Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator using varying filters, which removes the need to define a specific tag in the flow header before the export. The GUI is intuitive and allows for searching, selection, and addition of flows to an export list. You can redefine the search filters multiple times while adding a specific set of flows from each of the search results to the export list. After you add all the flows to be export to the export list, you can click on the export button which bundles the flows and exports them from Oracle Utilities Testing Accelerator.

• The testing tool features an advanced diagnostic capability, enabling users to pinpoint the cause of a failed test flow run. Click the Information icon adjacent to the relevant flow step in the flow run tree to gain access to detailed insights into the root cause of the failure. This feature provides actionable recommendations for troubleshooting and resolving issues efficiently. Users can quickly identify and address problems, streamlining their debugging process. The intuitive interface ensures seamless navigation through complex test flows, reducing time spent on error resolution.

• The automated upgrade of flow sets is a feature that streamlines the testing process for upgrades. By specifying the desired flow set, users can initiate an automated upgrade process, eliminating the need to manually recreate the flow set with each upgrade. To access this feature, navigate to the CM Content Upgrade process and select the flow set to be upgraded. Users are then prompted to provide product mapping details, including source and target release information.

• The updated test data page offers an intuitive interface for creating and managing variables, which streamlines the process of providing inputs to flow subroutines. To easily add new variables, click Create New Variable. Additionally, the clear distinction between 'In' and 'Out' variables ensures that users can effortlessly identify and manage their variables, which reduces errors and improves workflow efficiency.
