Function optimization

Platform function

This update focuses agile reports, DevOps reports, and test reports in the report management function for easy viewing.

Knowledge management

  • Modify the Wiki page after a successful copy or move directly to the target page.
  • Modify Wiki page after deleting successfully, jump to its parent page.
  • The Wiki Administration menu now mentions the top level of the organization and project, and has added the Wiki Space menu.
  • Modified the search popup box and search page style.
  • Modified 404, 403 page styles.
  • Changed all updates, popular, recently working, recently visited, all space, recently space to asynchronous loading, improve page loading performance.
  • Modified the user information page style.
  • Page editing and other functions have been moved to the left.

Agile management

  • Problem Management Added field display, field search, and field sorting to support custom filtering.
  • The problem in the active sprint is dragged to another location, and the problem and its subtasks are all restored to the initial state of the state machine.
  • Active sprint display and issue details form page optimization.
  • Product global icon optimization.
  • To-do epic count details optimized.
  • The problem link list displays the handler information.
  • Sprints that are not open in the iteration speed chart are not counted.
  • Removed issue from story map and added validation.
  • Optimize the backlog to create problem requests.

Continuous delivery

  • The mode of using a single environment client to manage a single environment is changed to the mode of using a single cluster client to manage multiple environments in a unified manner.

    In version 0.10, when multiple environments are initialized in a cluster, multiple environment Agent applications need to be installed in the cluster. The upgrade script for each Agent needs to be executed in the same cluster, resulting in high maintenance cost. After being upgraded to a cluster client, you do not need to execute the environment client installation script when creating an environment in the same cluster. You can create, disable, and delete an environment with one click. Operations on the environment dimension do not need to run scripts in the cluster.

  • Reorganize and optimize the structure of the development pipeline, and unify the operation with application as the center.

  • Reorganize and optimize the structure of the deployment pipeline to operate in a unified environment.

  • Optimized the naming of export files in the application market to support custom naming.

  • Optimized and unified each empty interface of the platform.

  • Optimized the delete operation prompt box to specify the name of the deleted object.

  • Improve the platform guidance copy, strengthen the understanding of primary users.

  • Optimized for associating the target object content in the network list after deleting an instance.

  • Optimized the display of versions in the list after an instance upgrade failed or a new instance failed.

  • Optimized display of the Create action button at the top of the environment overview screen.

  • Optimized the quick deployment icon display on the Deployment Overview page.

Test management

  • Change the test execution export to asynchronous modification and add a progress bar.
  • Modify some interfaces with agile services.
  • Test case folder copy and move is now batch operable.
  • Test phase folder view added version display.
  • There is a default time for the creation phase.
  • The test steps can be dragged to scroll.
  • The test execution page hides the empty loop.
  • Test summaries are displayed in order from new to old by version.
  • Test cases are arranged in reverse order.
  • Save test execution and test plan side expansion states.
  • Create a test step without popping up a new page, insert a new row into the table for editing.
  • Test step Copy icon to button.
  • Test plan, test execution table style adjustment.
  • The clone test phase in the test plan can cross cycles and versions.

Microservices development framework

  • The dashboard configuration is optimized to control which roles are visible on the interface.
  • Mail templates are optimized to add web images and support HTML encoding when created.
  • API tests changed to internal interfaces that cannot be tested on pages.
