Test
AI-powered test generation with Test Genie in Test Hub You can now use Test Genie to automatically generate test assets within Test. By providing natural language instructions and connecting to a supported AI provider, you can accelerate your test creation process. While test steps are being generated, you can view AI interactions and session logs on the progress page. After the test generation is complete, you can view the generation metrics. See Test creation with Test Genie, Creating a Web UI test with Test Genie, and Modifying a Web UI test created by using Test Genie.
Support for the Anthropic AI provider You can now add and manage the Anthropic AI provider on the Cloud Credentials page in Test. You can then use Anthropic to generate tests by using Test Genie, or to populate schema generator configurations when auto-assigning generators and configurations to each field in a data definition. See Management of cloud credentials, Test creation with Test Genie, and Auto-assigning generators and AI-provided data configurations to data definitions in the Schema View.
Personal agents for local test execution and debugging You can now download, install, and start a personal agent directly from the Test Editor page. A personal agent is a local agent that provides a dedicated, isolated runtime environment to run Web UI tests and suites directly on your local machine so that you can visually observe UI interactions in real time and identify the exact point of test failure. See Management of the personal agent, Installing and starting the personal agent, and Stopping or unregistering the personal agent.
MCP support for authentication MCP clients can now dynamically register with the authorization server (Keycloak) without requiring an offline token to be passed through the authentication header. When you connect to an MCP server endpoint in Test to access server-side tools directly from MCP clients, such as VS Code, you must provide your credentials to authenticate the connection. See Configuration of an MCP server endpoint and Configuring an MCP server endpoint in VS Code.
Support for local repository creation and asset management You can now create standalone local repositories without a remote repository reference. These local repositories operate the same way as the remote repositories, and they can optionally be connected to an empty remote repository at a later point for synchronization. See Adding a repository to a team space.
Support for running server test assets and server suite assets on device clouds You can now run server test assets and server suite assets on Android or iOS devices that are available through supported device clouds, such as BrowserStack Cloud, LambdaTest Cloud, and pCloudy Cloud. See Running server test assets by using a cloud credential and Configuring a run of a Web UI test to run by using a cloud credential.
Customization of environments with profile overrides You can now configure profile overrides in custom environments so that you can easily change the target profile without changing your test script. When you run a test or a suite with a profile override, the default profile, such as a specific browser or emulated device, is substituted with a different target profile, such as a cloud-native device or an alternative browser. See Test environments, Creating an environment, and Modifying an environment.
Device emulation support on Safari for Web UI tests You can now record and play back Web UI tests on the Safari browser in the device emulation mode. You can use the Phone (X-Large) and Tablet (X-Large) options that are available for Safari on Mac. See Web UI test creation.

Support for recording and playback of jQuery UI controls You can now record and play back tests for supported jQuery UI controls. The Smartshot view includes a Filter by jQuery option that helps you identify supported jQuery UI controls when editing tests. See Editing a Web UI test.
Support for conditional flow control actions in Web UI tests You can now use conditional flow control actions such as If, While, and Do-while directly in Web UI test steps. These actions support smartshots and use the same decision logic as verification points, so that you can perform steps based on the presence or state of a UI widget. The Pause step is renamed to Wait and now supports both UI and General modes. See Adding an If step, Adding a While step, Adding a Do-While step, and Adding a Wait step.
Support for moving or deleting tests with dependent assets You can now move or delete tests along with their dependent assets. Assets that are referenced exclusively by a test are processed together with the test, while shared assets remain unaffected. References to shared assets are updated automatically to prevent any impact on the test run. See Test navigator panel.
Support for multi-select actions in Test Navigator You can now select multiple assets in the Test Navigator and perform actions, such as editing, moving, and deleting, on all selected assets, which makes asset management more efficient. See Test navigator panel.
Easy navigation in Test Editor to access the failed and error steps in the suites When you play back test suites in Test Editor, the three color-coded boxes display the counts of passed steps, failed steps, and errors. You can now view the step details of the first failed step or the step with an error by clicking the respective color-coded box. See Running a suite sequentially and Running a suite concurrently.
Support for viewing individual test results in Test Editor You can now select and view individual test results directly within Test Editor. Result information is displayed in Test Editor, and step-level results are highlighted when the selected result matches the current version of the test. See Running a Web UI test.
Support for viewing configuration details in functional reports and test logs You can now view configuration details directly in the functional report and test log. Configuration nodes for tests and modules display the initial variable values and dataset information to provide better visibility into the configuration used during test runs. Variable information is displayed in a more streamlined format to improve report readability and analysis. See Test logs and Viewing a Functional Report.
Support for generating negative test data from data definitions You can now generate negative test data from data definitions to validate error handling and input validation scenarios. You can configure the type and amount of negative data that is generated, preview the generated data, and create datasets that combine invalid values, optionally, combined with valid data to support more effective, comprehensive testing. See Generating negative test data for a data definition.
Build
UI Modernization The user interface has been improved for better navigation and usability.
Support for Repository-based configuration files You can now store Job as Code (JAC) configuration files, such as <config_file>.json or <config_file>.yaml, anywhere within your source code repository. When configuring a Job as Code step, you can specify the path to the configuration file relative to the repository root. During execution, the plugin retrieves the file from the branch that triggered the build and dynamically generates the build workflow. See Creating Job templates using the Job as Code plugin.
Measure
Added Data retention policy Product administrators can now configure data retention policy to archive or permanently delete historical data for the resource types, such as versions, builds, or issues. You can provide the retention period across VSM, team, or application scopes to optimize database performance, reduce UI clutter, and simplify compliance management.
Enhanced User Interface The user interface is enhanced for better navigation and usability.
Enhanced MCP token exchange time The Model Context Protocol (MCP) workflow is enhanced by adding a cache layer. This helps make MCP integration more responsive and reliable.
Added support for Jira, Jenkins, and GitHub The Analytics dashboards can now display the data for Jira, Jenkins, and GitHub.
