Other Fixes and Enhancements

1. Streamline Your Testing Workflow: Enhanced Xray Integration with Katalon Report Uploader

Have you ever experienced the hassle of manually updating Xray with your test results? We're excited to announce an enhancement to our robust Xray integration within TestOps. Building on our existing foundation, we're extending our capabilities to include the Katalon Report Uploader. This upgrade simplifies the process by automatically synchronizing your test results with Xray, eliminating the need for manual uploads. With this seamless connection, your Xray records are always aligned with your latest GitLab runs.
 

And There’s More: Say Hello to Subdirectory Support for Your Git Repo
 

We all know the drill: keeping our Katalon scripts organized in our Git repos. Sometimes, we stash them in a subdirectory, mixing them with scripts from other apps. This can get messy, especially when TestOps tries to read those Katalon scripts and can't find them.
 

But here's the good news: we're rolling out a new feature that lets you tell Katalon TestOps exactly where your Katalon scripts are. By designating a target directory for your Katalon scripts, TestOps can dive straight in and parse them.

2. Mobile Native App Testing Enhancements

TestCloud Support for Biometric Authentication

TestCloud users can now test the biometric authentication mechanisms of their apps, ensuring that these crucial security features function correctly across various devices and operating systems. 
 

TestCloud Support for Geolocation

We’ve also added the ability to test location-specific scenarios using GPS and IP geolocation on mobile apps.
 

TestCloud Simulate Network Condition

Last but not least, TestCloud now allows users to test their apps across multiple network profiles, including low latency networks like 2G, 3G, and LTE, as well as in offline scenarios.
