What's new in Release 7.0

Autopilot: ACCELQ's Gen AI Capability in Release 7.0

Natural Language Automation in Logic Editor

ACCELQ 7.0 introduces Generative AI-powered Natural Language Automation, allowing users to write automation logic in plain English. It intelligently references applications, interprets screenshots, and auto-reconciles errors, streamlining test creation for all users.

Generate Test Steps for End-to-End Scenario Automation

Generate Test Steps enables users to transform blank scenarios into complete automation workflows by selecting an application and defining a business process. The system auto-discovers workflows, creates test steps, and allows adding test data or validations for flexibility.

Gen AI-Powered Modularity

The AI Designer for Modularity structures test logic into reusable components, auto-detects parameters, and optimally organizes test steps. This enhances maintainability, reduces redundancy, and ensures test resilience against application changes.

AI-Powered Test Case Generation

The AI Test Case Generator automates test case creation by analyzing business logic, detecting parameters, and exploring different data combinations. It generates meaningful test case combination with auto-populated data, ensuring comprehensive test coverage with minimal effort.

AI-Powered Action Insights

Action Insights provides AI-driven explanations and recommendations to help users optimize test logic. It suggests best practices like replacing fixed delays with optimal wait strategies and improving dynamic element handling for more efficient automation.

AI-Powered Autonomous Element Healing for Web Automation

Autonomous Element Healing detects and adapts to UI changes in web applications, adjusting element interactions automatically. It provides self-healing recommendations, reducing test maintenance efforts and improving automation stability.

Autopilot Application Management in the Application Hub

The Application Hub centralizes application knowledge for Autopilot workflows. Users can upload and manage snapshots for applications, representing different states and workflows to improve test creation accuracy.

Other Significant Features in 7.0

🚀 New ACCELQ Dashboard!

The all-new ACCELQ Dashboard introduces customizable widgets, advanced filters, and multi-level grouping for better test execution tracking, asset management, and user activity insights, improving visibility into testing progress.

Introducing the Fluid Recorder

The Fluid Recorder delivers a more seamless and intelligent recording experience for web applications. It optimizes action grouping, eliminates redundant steps, and provides a smoother user experience for recording complex interactions.

Inline Editing for Global Properties

ACCELQ 7.0 enhances Global Properties Management with inline editing, filtering, environment-specific configurations, and real-time validation. Users can now edit properties faster and manage values directly in the grid without opening modals.

Replace Selected Statements with Existing Action

Simplify and optimize test logic by replacing selected statements with existing reusable Actions. This feature enables automated parameter mapping, reducing duplication and improving test maintainability with minimal effort.

Custom Field Support for the Implicit Test Cases

Users can now assign custom field values to the implicit test cases in Non-Data-Driven Scenarios. This enhancement improves test suite filtering, reporting accuracy, and dashboard insights by ensuring proper field values are applied.

Enhanced Results Page with Separate Tabs for Scheduled and CI/CD Jobs

Scheduled Jobs and CI/CD Template Jobs now have separate tabs in the Results page for better clarity. Tailored columns ensure a more structured view, eliminating confusion between scheduled and CI/CD executions.

Seamless Test Runs Integration with New API

ACCELQ 7.0 introduces powerful new Runs APIs for dynamic test execution and scheduling. Users can now create recurring test jobs, execute tests instantly, and manage reusable templates for seamless CI/CD pipeline integration.

OCR-Based Automation Enhancements

OCR-based automation allows interaction with elements that lack standard locators, such as standalone applications and dynamic UI components. It supports click, text input, and text retrieval for better automation coverage.

Enhanced Recorder Browser Experience

The Recorder Browser now behaves more like a real browser, with cursor feedback, improved text selection, drag & drop support, native dropdown interaction, and optimized performance, making test recording smoother.

Simplified API Automation with Swagger Import

ACCELQ 7.0 introduces Swagger Import, enabling bulk creation of API test Actions from OpenAPI definitions. This saves time by automatically generating API Actions and configurations, ensuring faster API test automation.

Streamlined Email Notifications for Auto Re-runs

Test completion emails are now sent only after all re-run attempts are exhausted, preventing unnecessary notifications for each iteration and reducing inbox clutter.
