Have a better overview of the milestones and their relationship

See that the milestones are not duplicated.

A user can now add and import connections via DB to DB connection. 

A user can observe Sonar quality information grouped by applications and corresponding data sets for these applications.

Users can see core data of the testing component.

The widget can be added multiple times for different entity types (Requirement, Test Case, Execution List, Defect).

Easier filtering for users

A better overview based on this feature.

Now, a user can see the red line which indicates today’s date

The time span on the brush is saved after reloading and is always positioned to include the current date.

The user can see when the license will expire and that it needs to be renewed by that date.

Now the user can see the grey line which indicates today’s date.

The time span on the brush is saved after reloading and always positioned to include the current date.

The user is able to see milestones for projects and applications, as well as releases.

The application and project are indicated with (APP) and (PROJ) next to their names.

The user can import new data using excel template provided.

The user can see a detailed visual of evidence acceptance.

The user can see the information about the Release, the Environment, and percentage of progress completion in one place.

More information is available in the Application tile, such as Environment and Release.

The user has better readability of what is in the description.

The user can resize the description window to fit the text.

The user has a constant reminder that the recalculations are needed when leaving the configuration page.

Upon clicking on the notification, the user gets redirected to the page where the recalculations of either metrics or wheel are necessary.

The page has better readability.

The checkboxes are visible.

Master Object can be of application type or project type. Depending on the type, we can associate Master Object with datasets of the same type from various sources. This allows the user to see the data and metrics from different applications/ projects of the same or different source within a single object.

Also, we can make one Report for all merged datasets.

Once the desired structure is selected, its node tree will appear in the panel on the left, and the list of all available mapping entities will appear in the panel on the right.

There is an option to map either projects or applications to the selected structure, but not both at the same time.

For that reason, a drop-down menu at the top of the right-side panel allows a selection of the projects or applications exclusively.

ElasticSearch is an ultra-fast, document-oriented database, very suitable for intermediate storage of data imported into QACube.

By utilizing ElasticSearch, QACube is capable of quickly retrieving a large amount of data from the source system and incremental import into QACube relational database.

With Users groups, we assign rights to the User group faster and easier.

A user with the role of Systemadmin or Supervisor can archive a dataset.

Once the dataset is archived, the Status column of the dataset will contain the Archived information.

Defect Duration shows the average duration of defects from the moment of their creation date until their closing date (the duration is shown in days)

It tells the user how fast the reaction is to the appearance of the defect and its fix.

A user can see the metric maturity level history already with the initial page load.

It is possible to see the history of all metrics of the selected wheel in parallel and in a single place.

Besides using the name or the person in charge, a user can now easily find the desired structure element by entering the External ID of the searched structure node.

There is now a possibility to see the history of the last six recorded metric maturity levels in a form of a sparkline bar chart for each individual metric cell in the KPI Wheel Compare page table.

A user can now choose to have all the data pre-calculated and imported to the KPI Wheel as such. This option provides more flexibility if there is a need for special kind of metric aggregation that is not already available in QACube.

It is now also possible to export the filtered results from the Detailed View tree grid. Export can support filtering applied in any column filter of the tree table and the advanced filtering as well. 

The export of the tree table now provides the display of the parent structure elements in multiple columns. 

Now the user can show orange exclamation mark for the defined orange thresholds. With this option, the user can make a difference between warnings and issues.

There is a possibility of filtering data by warnings and issues. This helps the user to easily locate applications and projects with some problems.

We are checking daily RFC fluctuations with this new status.

There is also an additional overview of information about all different types of RFCs and the possibility to filter data from the Release Dashboard using RFC filters.

select the specific and the most important requirements and represent only their data into the contribution chart.

see the requirement information like a name, number of the test cases which are attached to the requirement, requirement’s contribution, and priority.

The Start page displays master applications or projects and corresponding core information for all datasets related to these master objects.   

The New chooser allows the user to select more different combinations of releases and environments. As the result of this new operation, QACube represents data for different combinations of releases and environments for different applications and projects.   

Ticketing Overview helps the user to find out useful information about:

• Mean Time to Resolve

• Quality of Incident Resolution

• Speed of Problem Resolution

• Quality of Problem Resolution

Changes Overview helps the user to find out about this information:

• Quality of Planning I (Change Information without Delivery)

• Quality of Planning II (Delivery without Change Data)

• Quality of Reliability

• Quality of Timeline Compliance

Deployment Volume widget has three metrics that represent the average daily number of deployment executions and the percentage/number of successful/failed executions. 

Deployment Speed is the widget with three metrics. Every metric selects data from Jenkins imported measurement, where there is a successful build job. 

The widget Development Performance shows four different metrics from Gitlab/Github imported measurement:  

• Total number of commits for the selected date range  

• Average number of commits per day  

• Average number of authors per day  

• Total number of merge requests for selected date range  

Threshold values will be automatically calculated using setup values for commits, authors and merge requests.  

find out easily the list of the changed requirements in the File Structure 

figure out impact of this change to the whole application through the list of affected files

Directly add a comment in the Historical Chart for everyone to see

Users can save a default structure that will be displayed when opening QACube

Users can save settings (last selection of the structure, structure node and View tab) and continue work in the same place before being logged out or switching the component

The new structure is user-friendly and allows at-a-glance view of the blue levels where the data is available

The View tabs can be moved into the desired position with drag and drop 

Metrics of ‘YES or NO’ type are automatically recognised by QACube and the configuration settings change accordingly.

Metric frequency can now also be set to quarterly for all types of metrics

Clicking on a value allows drill-down to the details of the respective value
