    XL TestView 1.3.0 upgrade notes

    System administration changes

    The default amount of memory has been increased from 1GB to 2GB. Please update any custom server.sh scripts and /etc/default/xl-testview and /etc/sysconfig/xl-testview.

    New test tool structure

    In previous versions of XL TestView, test tools had generic implementations for various formats. For example, in the previous version, xUnit could support Maven Surefire, Ant, and TestNG generated formats.

    As of XL TestView 1.3.0, this is no longer the case. Each test tool and the test result format to be parsed must be made explicit.

    XL TestView will upgrade the test tool configurations in your existing test specifications to the new implementation of test tools. The upgrader cannot know which specific implementation it should choose if you were using a generic implementation (such as xUnit). In that case, you will see a warning in <XLTESTVIEW_HOME>/log/upgrade.log and XL TestView will use a default alternative.

    By default, the log will show a warning for xUnit and JMeter. The upgrader will replace them with xlt.JUnit (Ant-type JUnit) and xlt.JMeterCSV (for CSV imports), respectively.

    You will need to review your test specifications and ensure that the test tool being used is the correct one.

    API changes

    TestRunsRepository

    The TestRunsRepository is injected into Python scripts as test_runs.

    For consistency, the methods getPreviousRuns and getLaterRuns have been renamed to getPreviousTestRuns and getLaterTestRuns, respectively. Also, the ordering of the returned runs for getPreviousTestRuns is now ascending.

    For all Python extension points, injected properties have been changed from camelCase to snake_case. For reports and qualifications, testRun changed to test_run. For reports, queryParameters has changed to query_parameters, startDate has changed to start_date, and endDate has changed to end_date.

    Events

    Various properties have been prefixed with @.
