Version 4.2 Overview

New features:

1. There are two connection improvements addressing automation of mobile devices:
   
   • The new iOS over Xcode connection enables full iOS device control over the USB cable from a Mac OS X development environment (IMS CR-977).
   • The existing Android over ADB connection was improved to support transfer of the screen data through a video stream (IMS CR-985).
     

     

2. The Connection Manager stores data of your known connections (IMS CR-981).
   Connections may have names which can be used to connect without having to specify all the parameters.
   

   

3. There's a new method of integration with T-Plan Professional 8.1 based on a REST web service (IMS CR-978).

1. Click and Drag command enhancements (IMS CR-982):
   • Click supports tasks such as "click 20 points to the right from an object" through the newly introduced moveparameter.
   • Both commands allow the script to continue if the target click or drag object is not found (the continueparameter).
   • A simple integration with the Step command allows to record a test step and populate it with the pass or failresult (the step parameter).
