This release focuses primarily on the Test Bed’s test engine and the capabilities of the GITB Test Description Language (TDL). It is now simpler to manage the behaviour and presentation of sets of steps, as well as to apply fine-grained failure management. This is complemented by new features to better convey feedback on test steps’ progress and the overall test outcome. Furthermore, it is now possible to define test case groups, whereby only one successful result within a group is needed, towards considering the overall group as successfully completed.

Besides extensions to the test engine, the Test Bed’s user interface comes with new features to further facilitate community customisation. Triggers, the Test Bed’s equivalent to web hooks, can now be configured with firing expressions to control precisely when they should activate. Test case groups are now presented on the interface, and the administrator’s view of test suites is adapted to match precisely the end result viewed by testers. Finally, PDF report customisation is enhanced with new values available for inclusion in custom cover pages, complemented by simpler report previewing.

The new release is online in the Interoperability Test Bed service hosted by DIGIT but is also available for you to setup as a standalone instance.
