Silk Central now provides fast and simple access to run data: In the Execution Planning unit, you can now download the data from the Runs grid and save it in an Excel file. The applied filters as well as all sorting, grouping, and order settings of the columns are also applied to the data within the Excel file.
In case the status of a test run was changed after the test was finished, this status change is exposed in the Runs grid, in the columns Previous Status and Status Change Comment.
You can now start a subset of the tests that have been manually assigned to an execution plan directly from the UI. There is no need to change the assignment.
You can now instruct Silk Central to automatically rerun tests if they finish with the status failed or not executed.
In previous versions of Silk Central, separate threads were started to try to connect inaccessible execution servers. To reduce overhead, the handling for such execution servers has been enhanced for Silk Central 21.0. It is no longer necessary to maintain the background threads and the load on the application server has been reduced.
Virtual execution servers now also support distributed test executions. To prevent the infrastructure from being overloaded, the number of parallel executions can be limited.
In the Current Run tab, you can now abort runs directly without needing to navigate to the Activities view.
In the Test Runs Results dialog, you can now add result files to completed runs, which allows you to add files that are available only after a test has been completed.
