Release notes - July 19th, 2022

1. Featured Releases 🚀

Custom Checkbox Assertions ✅

Autify's ML (Machine Learning) has evolved to bring you a new feature - Custom Checkbox Assertions! It verifies if your checkboxes are checked or not, based on their appearances - which means that the target elements don't have to be implemented in <input type="checkbox">, and also can be used with whatever modern frameworks would use such as <div> or <span> decorated with styles. This is a revolutionary invention that could not have been achieved with traditional DOM-based element verification!

You can try the assertion by selecting the Checkbox Should Be Selected or Checkbox Should Not Be Selected menu option in Autify Recorder. With the power of ML, you will be able to make assertions on checkboxes that could not be verified before!

Dynamic value generation 🔢

Previously, it was always required to create a JS Step to generate dynamic values - such as a random string or date - but with the Dynamic value feature, it will no longer be necessary!

To add a Dynamic value to your scenario, navigate to Insert Step > Dynamic value:

You can see the descriptions for the Dynamic Value of your choice in the step details. Currently, the following Dynamic Values are available:

• Dynamic date
• Random string with characters
• Random integer

Just as with return values of JS Steps, you can use the Dynamic Value for text input or assertions in the latter steps.

Now you can achieve more with no code. Let us know if you want to see any other kinds of Dynamic Values!

More granular regular execution 🕐

Have you ever wanted to run tests at more flexible intervals, such as hourly or every two weeks? Now you can do this easily using our new Triggers page!

It's also possible to specify the start time in 30-minute increments. Design and create your triggers as you like.

2. Important notice 📢

Users will be managed per workspace

Currently, users belong to organizations, but a soon-to-be-released feature will change this so that users belong to workspaces. This will make it possible to specify which user belongs to which workspace when you have multiple workspaces in your organization. In the future, we expect to offer more useful functions for user management, such as setting user access privileges within a workspace.

Please note that this will introduce the following changes:

For organizations with multiple workspaces as of the release date, existing users will be part of all workspaces in the organization, but newer users will be added only to specified workspaces. Also, pre-existing invites will disappear, so please deal with them before release. If you have any questions, please contact our support team.
