Release 1.6.2
Release date
19 may 2022
Supported Mendix versions
Menditect supports the Mendix Long-Term Support Version (LTS) and Medium-Term Support Version (MTS).
Highlights in this release
- We have made significant improvements in the Recorder functionality.
- It is now possible to record microflows but also record create, change and retrieve object actions, and have MTA create Teststeps from these actions.
- When creating a new Recording, it is no longer necessary to choose which steps to create.
- All the detected user actions will automatically result in one or more Teststeps in the Test Case.
- In this version, the Recording is also given two parameters that can be set; the maximum duration of the recording, and the maximum amount of detected user actions. This is to prevent long running of recordings as a result of an unefficent flow in the Mendix code.
- Read more about recordings in the How to? section!
- Because Recording is still in Beta, we have included a separate support form just for enthousiasts using this brand new feature.
We welcome your feedback!
- It is now possible to add a Teststep between existing Teststeps!
- Choose if you want to create the Teststep before, or after the selected Teststep.
- This is a much requested feature especially when you need to set your associations.
- When a Microflow input parameter is an Object, it is now possible to set the value to Empty.
- Microflow input parameters can now be added as an item in the Datavariation.
- A List of objects can now be filled with objects from the output of multiple Teststeps.
- The documentation site is enriched with much more content.
- Best practices added for Unit Tests and Process Tests.
- Added versioning for the Reference Guide.
- Explanatories added, linking to blogs on the Menditect website.
- "How to" section has been updated, especially to support usage of the MTA Plugin Module.
- Legal documents (EULA, SLA, Privacy Policy) have been moved from Google Docs.
- Releasenotes have been moved from Google Docs.
- A form to send a support request can now be opened directly from MTA.
