IMPROVED
Visual design of export dialog

In addition to the improved visuals, Hexawise's export capabilities received all new plumbing under the covers to better support customer specific custom export options, and to set the stage for additional export formats that are being worked on.

May 25, 2018
CHANGED
Updated privacy and terms of service for GDPR compliance
May 22, 2018
FIXED
Glitch with test cases table in Firefox

The test case # column would lose alignment with long parameter names on Firefox (pairwise defect).

May 18, 2018
IMPROVED
Replace "Back to Plans" button in project dialog with a link in the title bar

This is both an improved user experience (there are no longer 2 primary buttons competing for your attention) and addresses a bug where the button goes away with a certain sequence of user actions.

IMPROVED
Prevent email scanners from activating email validation link

Added a step to the new user email validation process to prevent early activation by aggressive email monitoring systems that access the link.

May 14, 2018
FIXED
Mouse over tooltips could stick around after closing modal dialogs which invoked them
FIXED
Escaped HTML shown in read-only plan dialog
FIXED
Plan dialog regression with pairwise roots

Fixed a pairwise defect in the new feature of showing the project the plan belongs to when opening the "Your Test Plans" dialog for the first time. If you happen to be in a read-only sample plan, the "Your Sample Test Plans" project wouldn't be found in the list of your projects, and the dialog would hang.

May 11, 2018
IMPROVED
Import failure warning and details when importing into an existing plan

The same useful feedback from an unsuccessful import wasn't available when importing into an existing plan, but now it is.

May 9, 2018
FIXED
Regression in copying sample plans
NEW
There's now a hint for the useful CTRL + Enter keyboard shortcut of Define Inputs bulk edit
FIXED
Defect editing parameter name with special character sequence in bulk edit

This was an interesting 3-way defect involving a certain type of data, "(?)" in the name, a certain operation, updates, and a certain mode of the operation, bulk edit.

For the curious, "(?)" proved problematic as it interfered with a regular expression being used to handle the edit request.

May 8, 2018
IMPROVED
Create a new project workflow

After creating a new project, you're now brought to the share dialog as the next step, rather than the "Your plans" dialog.

May 7, 2018
IMPROVED
Open plan dialog in the currently active project

When working on a test plan in a project, the "Your plans" dialog now opens to that project by default, rather than to "Your plans".

April 26, 2018
FIXED
Import file explanation dialog formatting was glitched
FIXED
Sample import file updated to latest format
April 25, 2018
FIXED
Warning when navigating away from bulk edit with unsaved changes

This warning had stopped working as a regression.

FIXED
Number of interactions tooltip

The # of interactions tooltip shows "null" when there are no "any valid values" (purple italics) in the generated test. It's rare to have none, but quite possible. A classic of the pairwise defect genre.

April 18, 2018
IMPROVED
Wording of the "largest" parameters tip in the plan scorecard for mixed-strength tests
FIXED
Minor formatting issue in parameter length warning dialog

A parameter length warning dialog that appears when parameters are created with eight or more values.

The first issue was that the word 'parameters' was always pluralized, even if there was only one parameter listed.

The second issue was that we were showing the actual array (as in "[OS, Browser]") instead of a list of the array's elements in the dialog.

April 16, 2018
FIXED
Help link doesn't work in Internet Explorer
April 10, 2018
FIXED
Odd little bug... step 1 of auto-scripts disappears when clicking "add" while it's blank
April 9, 2018
IMPROVED
Store and use the last calculated strength used

This prevents Hexawise from continually loading a test combination strength you aren't interested in. Before Hexawise used last computed strength rather than last viewed/used.
