# Keeping the inheritance structure of environments while importing a goal 2024-03-20

When you export a goal that uses an environment, we make sure to include all the needed variables in the exported file. However, previously, exported files did not keep the inheritance structure of environments. They included all the variables from the directly-used environment as well as all the inherited variables in both a flattened structure and a single environment.

With our most recent improvement, exported files will now keep the inheritance structure of environments, resulting in more reliable results when importing a goal. For now, you will still be able to import the goal from the previously exported files, but we recommend that you replace them with the latest export to benefit from the improvement.

# Journey execution times explained 2024-01-19

Behind the scenes, some preparation and control is done between the user triggering an execution and its actual start. Previously, users could only guess how long it took for us to start a journey. All they could see in the execution report was the job submit date and the journey execution duration. To add visibility, we have introduced a tooltip, visible when hovering over the journey execution duration, that shows how long the journey execution was throttled and queued for.

# AI-Powered Authoring beta 2024-01-18

# Color-coded variable highlighting 2023-12-07

Dynamic data plays a significant role in testing, whether it is through data-driving your tests or re-using data from the environment. However, tracking and tracing the source of data variables throughout a journey can be a challenge, since the data may come from an environment, a data table, or be defined within the content of the journey itself. It may also be that due to a typo, you use a variable that has never been defined, and it is too late to find this out after the journey has been executed.

To address this, we are introducing color-coded variable highlighting, which allows you to quickly identify variables and their sources, streamline your test authoring process, and reduce the chances of errors.

Steps using different variable sources

# Smart variable suggestions 2023-12-07

As part of a wider initiative of enhancing the user experience when working with variables, we have introduced "smart variable suggestions". It assists you in finding the variables you need more quickly by providing suggestions when you type a $ while creating a step. The suggestions are grouped by source and filtered by the characters following $. This makes it easy to locate the variable you need, even when there are numerous variables in the project, while also helping you avoid typos.

Smart variable suggestions

# Using test data with live authoring enhanced experience 2023-12-05

Christmas is coming, and we are excited to announce that Virtuoso is already arriving with shining gifts for our users. We are pleased to share that now you can select any test data row during live authoring. This means that you can run the same journey, testing different rows and values while live authoring, providing you with better authoring performance and allowing you to focus on what matters.

Select data row

# Bridge per Environment 2023-12-01

We're moving the bridge settings from goals to the Environments so that the bridge that allows Virtuoso to access your application environments is stored together with the variables that are used to run test journeys on them.

From now on, you can define a Virtuoso Bridge directly in the Environment so that the former is taken into account whenever the latter is used in executions, plans, or even API tests.

Bridge per Environment

# Accelerate execution plan creation with cloning 2023-11-13

Many execution plans in a project share similar configurations, and creating them all from scratch can be time-consuming. To help you get started faster, we've added the ability to clone existing plans.

Cloning allows you to quickly create a new plan with the same configuration as an existing one, and then focus only on making any necessary changes to it.

# Chrome 119 2023-11-07

We have updated our Virtuoso Browser to Chrome 119, bringing support for new web standards!

# Track extensions usage in journeys 2023-11-02

# Improved accuracy of step and journey durations 2023-09-19

We've made improvements to how Virtuoso calculates the duration of each step within your journeys, as well as the total duration of the entire journey. This includes better tracking of various stages, such as waiting for network activities, page readiness, screenshot capture after a step is executed, and factors like rate-limiting (queued times). These changes ensure that the reported execution times for both individual steps and the overall journey are more accurately reflected.

While you may notice an increase in reported times, it's important to note that this change reflects a more accurate view of the journey's execution. The effective execution time remains exactly as it has been before.

Stay tuned, as we have plans to enhance the execution reports soon, allowing you to view a breakdown of these mentioned times for even greater insight into your journey execution times.

# Journey summaries 2023-09-15

It can sometimes be hard to understand what journeys do at a glance, or to explain what your journey does to someone else. Our journey summaries feature leverages generative AI to create a description of your journey with just the click of a button!

# Enhanced element selection for Salesforce applications 2023-07-19

The automated testing of Salesforce applications presents unique challenges. Even with Virtuoso, our users occasionally needed to manually write selectors to effectively target elements in their steps. In other instances, while Virtuoso could generate accurate JS path selectors, they tend to be brittle.

To address these issues, we have designed new algorithms and upgraded our engine. These improvements significantly enhance the authoring experience for users who test Salesforce applications. Now, users can easily target elements by simply writing a Hint or using the element picker on live authoring.

# Conditional step execution beta 2023-07-19

We're delighted to introduce conditional execution to Virtuoso, giving you more control over the execution of your test steps. Whether you want a step to always execute or execute it conditionally based on defined or undefined values, equality or inequality, or even the evaluation of complex JavaScript expressions, Virtuoso has you covered.

# Major performance and reliability improvements on journey executions 2023-05-11

We are thrilled to announce substantial enhancements to our systems' performance and reliability. This includes more resilient communication between our internal services, a new adaptive scaling algorithm for our job scheduler, and numerous reliability improvements to our bots. Additionally, we have optimized our database operations and strengthened our handling of scheduled journey executions.

These upgrades, thoroughly tested and tuned, ensure faster processing times, better resilience, and enhanced system stability. Across the board, we are seeing an over 70x improvement in the median start time of journeys, and over 5x improvement in the 99th percentile of journey start times.

# Autonomously wait for network traffic by default 2023-05-11

Our Wait for network traffic feature removes the need to heavily rely on "wait for element" steps, by automatically waiting for your page's network requests to stabilize before proceeding in journey executions.

Since its launch, this feature has proven to be incredibly beneficial to its adopters, so we have enabled it by default for all goals.

# Library Checkpoints 2023-02-06

After extensive feedback from the private beta on a few bug fixes and UX improvements, we are happy to announce that Library checkpoints are now available to all users, allowing you to reuse steps by importing them at any point in your journeys.

Unlike shared checkpoints, Library checkpoints are not limited to a single use in each journey and are shared across your entire project. This centralizes your maintenance instead of requiring you to manually copy changes between goals.

Want to dive into the tech specs of this feature? Read our full product documentation here.

Enter our latest product feature, Library Checkpoints – here’s a handy video for you to learn all about it.

# New granular permissions available for library checkpoints beta 2023-01-24

Roles now include two additional permissions allowing administrators to control changes to library checkpoints:

Edit existing library checkpoints: users with this permission are allowed to change others' library checkpoints.
Create library checkpoints: users with this permission can add new checkpoints to the library and change the checkpoints they have added to the library.

If you have granular permissions enabled, your existing roles automatically have these new permissions enabled.

# New granular permissions available for project roles beta 2022-12-12

You already could limit who can execute journeys or author execution plans through project roles... now you can further refine your project roles by limiting who can author the following Virtuoso entities:

API tests;
Data tables;
Environments;
Extensions.

Role management

# Library Checkpoints: reuse your checkpoints within projects beta 2022-11-30

You can now use library checkpoints to build reusable checkpoints that can be used from any journey in a project, as many times as necessary. This allows you to develop a set of checkpoints that can be used to quickly build new journeys in new goals without having to author the same steps over and over again. Any changes you make to library checkpoints automatically propagate, meaning you can cut down the effort required to maintain your journeys in each project.

# Better support for elements inside shadow DOM and more 2022-11-24

We are happy to announce that Virtuoso now supports JS path as a new type of element selector (extending existing selectors such as Hint, CSS or XPath) that will help you when writing test steps that target an element inside shadow DOM.

JS path

And to make your life even easier, live authoring will help you with shadow DOM too:

When capturing elements or fixing a test step, you can target elements inside shadow DOM and Virtuoso will take care of creating the corresponding JS selectors for you. It will also try to generate a human-friendly element alias so your test steps will look nicer.

# Default Virtuoso Browser no longer mandatory in plan executions 2022-11-24

Provided that at least one other device remains, the default Virtuoso Browser can now be removed from a plan's device configuration.

Removable default browser

# Introducing Virtuoso Browser Virtual Camera 2022-11-23

You can now use the Virtuoso browser virtual camera for your journeys that require a camera (e.g., taking pictures).

The virtual camera is enabled by default, so no setup or configuration is required. Just navigate to a page that uses it, and you're done.

Virtual camera

# Introducing project roles and granular permissions beta 2022-11-11

Here at Virtuoso we listen to our users' needs and one of them was to have more flexible user roles within the platform (e.g., to have a team that cannot edit an execution plan but can execute tests).

We are excited to announce that now you can limit certain actions for other users through the use of granular permissions.

Role management

# Ticket Tracking and Jira Virtuoso App 2022-11-10

Test step events

You can now create and assign tickets in external providers to execution results in Virtuoso so you can track the status of tasks and bugs.

We also provide the Jira Virtuoso App which enables you to create and assign Jira issues to execution results, and keeps you updated with its bidirectional communication between Virtuoso and Jira.

# Enhanced execution planner 2022-10-21

Multi-goal plans are here! Instead of creating one execution plan per goal and scheduling several plans for the same time, you can now include multiple goals in a single plan and have them all run under the same settings.

Multi-goal planner

This comes paired with a revamped UI/UX for the whole Execution Planner feature: an easier to use plan editor and a plan detail page that gives you more meaningful information.

Stay tuned, because more is yet to come!

# Step execution indicators in the journey view 2022-10-11

You can now toggle the visibility of the execution indicators such as healing, side effects, events, etc. for your test steps while test authoring in the journey view. Your preference (whether to show or hide them) is also persisted on your browser, so that you would not need to re-enable this when moving between journeys.

Goal view indicators

# Network and console logs for every step of your journeys 2022-09-30

In modern web applications, much work happens behind the scenes, for example, API and other network requests, or the application makes browser console logs. These can often be critical to understanding expected behaviour, or to help figure out what went wrong.

Test step events

We capture all of the network requests and console logs that took place during the execution of a specific test step. Now you can review this information on a per step basis with just a click.

# Ability to pause scheduled execution plans 2022-09-27

Pause plans

You no longer need to clear a plan's schedule settings to make it stop. Simply pause it and resume later!

# Filter jobs and journeys by associated plans 2022-09-27

The execution plan filter has been added to the Project Activity Dashboard! You can now find jobs and journeys by their associated execution plans.

# Cross-browser support for Windows 11, macOS Big Sur & macOS Monterey 2022-09-23

Three new operating systems and their respective versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari join in on the codeless cross-browser testing action!

Windows 11
macOS Big Sur
macOS Monterey

New operating systems in the execution planner

# Autonomous Waiting for Network Traffic 2022-09-20

Wait for?... No more! With Wait for network traffic enabled, Virtuoso will automatically wait for your page's network requests to stabilise, before moving further in your journey.

This makes authoring journeys for single page apps (SPAs) a dream, removing the need to rely heavily on "wait for element".

Wait for Network Goal Setting

# Instant Live Authoring browsers 2022-08-23

We've worked hard to speed up the initial launch time of live authoring.
Now our fleet of browsers are ready to blast off with just a click.

In the past, maybe you had time to make a coffee (well, an instant) while waiting for live authoring to launch. Now you're lucky if you can take a sip.

# Debug and build your journeys easier with on-demand pause 2022-06-29

Better debugging

Debugging your tests has got easier than ever. The ability to play & pause journeys during live authoring is now further enhanced such that you can set multiple arbitrary pause points in the exact steps that you want, which also persist when you run from beginning.

# Use live authoring as you need it 2022-06-23

Turn off live authoring

Some of our users shift further left and write their tests ahead of even having their app or functionality available to test. Particularly for them, we are adding the ability to disable Live Authoring so that tests can be written straight away but executed and validated later.

Read how to turn off live authoring here →

# SAML and Google Single sign-on authentication 2022-05-16

You no longer need to remember your password when accessing Virtuoso. Make use of the new SSO feature to login to Virtuoso, using your SAML provider or Google based access control.

Virtuoso SSO Login

# Introducing App Links 2022-05-10

Continuing the series of enhancements related to UI Augmentation, we are adding App Links. These serve as small visual indicators and links to information outside of Virtuoso.

App links

# Chrome 101 2022-04-27

We have updated our Google Chrome version to 101, now you can use the latest version of Chrome with Virtuoso and ensure your application works correctly with it.

# Even more UI Augmentation possibilities 2022-04-20

We have added two new field types to enhance your app's forms: the search field, that allows querying an external source for options, and the group field, to allow the creation of arrays of complex objects.

On top of that, we've opened the door to complex form behaviors such as loading field properties from an external source, and updating field properties when other field values change.

Create tokens with a more limited scope, providing only the permissions needed to use specific features of the product. While creating a token on the profile page you can choose bridge as the token type, creating a token that will have permissions limited to what is required by the bridge client to work.

# Chrome 96 and browser updates 2021-12-03

We have updated our Google Chrome version to 96, as well as the cross-browser grid with the latest browsers including Firefox 94 and Chrome 96.

# API testing 2021-11-19

API testing

API testing is the latest capability added to Virtuoso. It represents the beginning of a new set of features that will elevate your capacity to create functional tests. It is now possible to perform an API call in a test step using NLP with the help of the command API call.

# Improved execution report for cross-browser execution plans 2021-11-19

To aid all those users that test against multiple browsers through their execution plans we have added an interactive grid to the execution report. Simply glimpse at this report to get a full understanding of each browser and OS configuration as well as more detailed information about each job. Snazzy eh?

Execution report - device hive

# Pinning items 2021-11-03

Pinned items

You can now pin certain items to the sidebar for easier access to them (e.g., extensions, test data tables, or goals among others). This is particularly useful when you have resources that you want to visit regularly.

# Chrome 95 and browser updates 2021-10-22

As usual, our bot found a few new browser versions, and as always we support the latest in Virtuoso. We have, therefore, after extensive testing updated our Google Chrome version to 95, as well as the cross-browser grid with the latest browsers including Firefox 93 and iOS 15.

# Ability to restrict who can publish journeys 2021-10-20

Goal settings - Only project managers can publish journeys

Project managers can now control who is allowed to publish journeys to ensure draft journeys are properly reviewed. This can be done in the goal settings either while creating the goal or updating it.

# Support partial import and export of goals 2021-10-15

Export some journeys

We have improved how you can export or import a goal to include partial imports or exports meaning that you can select which journeys should be imported or exported rather than the whole goal. Also, you can now import over existing goals choosing which journeys should be kept or replaced in case of a conflict.

# Checkpoint tagging 2021-10-15

Checkpoint tagging

Virtuoso now supports tags on checkpoints. You can use them to organize your checkpoints and to find them when adding an existing checkpoint to another journey in the goal.

# Global search 2021-10-08

Finding information in Virtuoso just got a lot easier with the new feature Global Search. It's as easy as a Google search. Simply type what you want to search for and you will get all matching results grouped by different perspectives.

Quick access to global search

Use ctrl+k to quickly access the search input field

# Requirement coverage and traceability 2021-09-29

Requirement coverage and traceability

We have renamed to Requirement traceability the metric that indicates the percentage of the linked journeys where the most recent execution was successful. Also, a requirement is now considered as covered if it has at least one linked journey. Those changes should help you to better understand how far you are from covering your requirements and having all the associated journeys passing.

# Goal creation and settings editor 2021-09-06

Goal settings

We have revamped the UI to create a goal or to edit the settings of an existing goal. With a fresh look and intuitive layout that can be shown or hidden from the project dashboard and the goal view as a side panel (no more back and forth between pages!). We put all the possible goal settings organized by category in expandable groups, so you can quickly find what you want to change without getting lost.

# Chrome 92 and browser updates 2021-07-27

With the Olympics in full swing we all know how important it is to be first across the line. We have therefore updated our Google Chrome version to 92, as well as the cross-browser grid with the latest browsers including Firefox 90.

# Requirement coverage 2021-07-27

Requirement coverage tab

After linking your requirements to journeys, you may be wondering how well your requirements are covered overall.

With requirement coverage you can track the coverage of each individual requirement as well as the overall coverage across your project.

Read more about requirement coverage →

# Intelligent highlighting of iframe elements 2021-07-01

element highlighted inside iframe

Elements inside an iframe are, by design, unaware of their position relative to the page encapsulating them. However, browsers can only take screenshots of the browser-window. This means that highlighting elements based on their reported position on the browser window would lead to a misplacement.

Virtuoso will now intelligently auto-correct the position of the highlighted element on the page, to avoid confusion during test authoring and maintenance.

# Browser grid updates 2021-06-30

We have updated our cross-browser grid with the latest browsers including Chrome and Edge up to version 91, and Firefox up to version 89. We have also added a series of new devices, highlights include the latest Apple iPads and the Samsung Galaxy S21 series (including Ultra).

# Conditional test step executions 2021-06-30

Step editor - Data block with skip option

When testing data-driven applications, sometimes, depending on your data, you may need to skip some interactions.

We are introducing a new option to skip executing a test step, if the variable or expression evaluates to empty content.

Superseded feature

This feature was superseded by conditional step execution.

# Data block in test step editor 2021-06-29

Step editor - Data block

The data section of the test step editor has been dramatically simplified. Managing your step data and understanding its source could not be easier, even when multiple data attributes are set.

# V-Capture 2021-06-28

V-Capture

We have re-built our extension for Chrome (V-Capture) from the grounds up to provide an easier and fully integrated experience for capturing user interactions.

You only need to install/update the extension, create a new journey on the goal you want to capture and press Start capturing, from inside Virtuoso.

V-Capture has been deprecated

We recommend you to use our Live Authoring capability instead.

# Requirement management 2021-06-25

When testing, we are generally testing some form of "requirements", irrespective of whether they are explicitly written somewhere or not. When these requirements are loosely defined and only embedded into tests, it can be difficult to a) get an idea of what is covered and what is not, b) get a clear overall picture of the requirements as a whole.

We have introduced a dedicated requirement management capability into Virtuoso, where you can add or import your requirements, map them to your journeys, and review their coverage. You can even generate journeys automatically (or skeletons for your journeys) directly from your raw requirements!

Requirements page

# Goal and journey summary 2021-06-24

Goal summary

Who's been working on tests? How many are failing? When did they start failing? How is my web application performing? ... These are some of the questions we kept asking ourselves when working on our tests.

We are introducing a new view and experience to the goal view, where you can at a glance review your goal, and dig deeper to see more. For example, click on a journey to see the summary of the journey, expand performance metrics to review the full breakdown of pages, and more.

# Draft journeys 2021-06-23

Draft journeys

Does the mere thought of directly touching production code or data send a chill down your spine? Creating new journeys in production goals when you feel they are not ready can sometimes feel the same.

With draft journeys, we aim to put these fears aside. New journeys are now created as draft, so that you can experiment and develop them at your own pace. Once you feel they are ready, you can "publish" them to be included in the goal's default set of journeys. Of course, you can set them back to draft at any time in the future.

# Multiple organization support 2021-06-22

Switch between organizations

Users can belong to multiple organizations, using the same account. You can switch to the desired organization by selecting it in the Organization dashboard once you are a member of another organization.

# Snapshot comparison baselines 2021-06-21

Snapshot comparison baseline

Your app looks perfect, there are no visual defects, all is as it should be. Wouldn't it be great if you could capture your entire app at this moment in time and use it as a baseline for future tests? That is exactly what the Snapshot Comparison Baseline does.

Whenever Virtuoso captures a snapshot of your app and the results are as expected, you can set that as your baseline. Then ensure that you catch any visual changes that deviate from that baseline. And if the deviation was expected you get to select a new baseline ensuring that your app is always visually flawless.

Snapshot comparison has been deprecated

In our ongoing efforts to enhance and scale our platform, snapshot comparison was deprecated on 6 May 2024.

# Execution report improvements 2021-05-27

Execution

Knowing the exact configuration and status of an execution is of utmost importance.

We have enhanced the report to provide a detailed view of the journey execution status, users who launched or cancelled the job, as well as all known execution attributes(e.g., environment, bridge, custom data, etc.). You can also now see, manage, and add execution tags right from the report itself.

Read more about the execution report →

# Ability to control if members can create projects 2021-05-24

Switch to prevent members from creating projects

As an organization owner, you can control whether members of your organization with standard permissions can create new projects or clone existing ones.

# Step re-ordering between checkpoints 2021-05-17

Step drag and drop

It is now possible to drag and drop steps to change their order not only within the same checkpoint, but also between them.

This will allow you to move a step to a different checkpoint without having to recreate it and therefore, keeping its timeline information.

# Root cause analysis 2021-04-20

Root cause analysis

Knowing that a test step has failed can be an indication of a bug or regression but may also be a number of other things (e.g., test needs maintaining). Establishing what caused the test to fail is vital to both validate that the application under test is working as expected and, if not, how to fix it.

Virtuoso's root cause analysis helps you do just that. At a glance, get execution and change history, visual comparisons, and much more, to understand the underlying reason for failures.

# Key-value storage in directives 2021-03-08

Directives can now access and update a shared state during exploration. This allows directives to implement stateful behaviour to change how Virtuoso interacts with pages according to results from previous interactions.

# Re-use checkpoints anywhere in your journeys 2021-03-08

Add or re-use checkpoint

You can now re-use checkpoints at any point in a journey where previously it was only supported at the beginning.

This enables you to re-use groups of steps when authoring journeys, improving the reusability of steps across all your journeys (reducing the effort when creating or extending them), and the ability to maintain tests (once you fix the checkpoint for one journey, the fixes are applied to all the others using that checkpoint).

# Ability to direct bridge traffic through a proxy 2021-02-11

Bridge proxy

Depending on your network architecture or connectivity requirements, it might be needed to redirect the traffic targeting your application through a proxy server.

You can now specify it as command line parameter on the bridge client application .

This will also allow Virtuoso Bridge to use third party apps for application analysis, e.g., OWASP® Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP).

# Leave comments in your journeys 2021-02-11

Comment steps

When authoring journeys, sometimes you may wish to explain why things are done in a certain way, or to leave action notes for your colleagues (or even your future self).

You can now leave comments as steps in your tests. Comment steps begin with double slashes // followed by free text up to 500 characters. These steps are not evaluated during execution (do not affect journey outcome), and are automatically highlighted if they begin with TODO or FIXME, so that you can more clearly raise action points in your journeys.

# Ability to ignore the outcome of test steps 2021-01-26

When step fails

Sometimes in a journey, you do not really care about the outcome of certain steps. That is, you wish for the journey to be considered passing, even if these optional steps are failing.

You can now control the failure behavior of a step by choosing among three possible options:

Stop and raise error. When the step fails, no further steps are executed; it is marked as failed and its checkpoint and journey are marked as failed too;
Continue and raise error. When the step fails, it is marked as failed, its checkpoint and journey are marked as failed too, but the execution of the journey will not stop;
Continue and raise warning. When the step fails, it is treated as passed, except that the step itself shows a warning sign and the warning is shown on the execution report (under the journey side effects tab and on the step's screenshot tab), without impacting the outcome of the journey.

# Live execution update 2021-01-18

Execution progress

As your journeys run in the Virtuoso cloud, from now on, you will see the execution progress updated in real-time.

This means you no longer need to wait until the journey finishes executing to check the results, and will make authoring long journeys easier.

You can see what step has just executed as well as its status and screenshot.

# Journeys Dashboard 2021-01-18

Journeys dashboard

You can now see all your project's journeys in a single dashboard, alongside their last modification and execution status. The journeys can be filtered by their current status, tags, goals, or name, as well as order the list by their last update or execution date, status, or name.

The dashboard also enables you to re-execute journeys individually or in bulk, with support for executing journeys from multiple goals at the same time.

# Fix elements with a single click when reviewing a failed execution 2021-01-18

Fixing the element

It is now possible to fix an element when a test step execution failed from the Goal view without needing to leave Virtuoso to collect additional information while authoring and executing.

You can do this by accessing the Screenshot tab of the step details on the Goal View, then click on Fix element, and then choosing one of the highlighted elements discovered when the failure has occurred.

Hovering over each highlighted element will provide you more information about it. Once you click on the element to fix the step, the selectors of the step will be updated immediately, and you can immediately re-execute the journey afterwards.

Note that this quick-fix capability is only available for steps which have elements, and were not marked to continue on failure / assertion failure.

# Detailed execution progress status 2020-12-14

Execution progress

You can now see the details of individual journeys' progress as they get executed.

For example, you can see when journeys are queued, actively running, awaiting bots, rate-limited (throttled due to max parallelism or fair usage), etc.

This should help you get a picture of the progress of your executions, especially when you launch many jobs and/or when executing hundreds of journeys, and simply in-progress can be confusing to know how your jobs are progressing.

Note that when journey execution is queued, it will certainly run as soon as resources are available for it, and simply canceling and re-running the journey will place your execution further down the queue.

# User-centric performance monitoring 2020-12-14

User-centric performance metrics

Virtuoso now captures key user-centric performance metrics every time you capture snapshots of your checkpoints.

These key metrics can help detect areas and pages in your application for which the user experience can be impacted by the page performance.

The report is color-coded to help detect metrics that are good, need-improving, or those which lead to a poor experience.

Performance monitoring has been deprecated

In our ongoing efforts to enhance and scale our platform, performance monitoring was deprecated on 6 May 2024. Please note that you are still able to access network requests and console logs for executed steps.

Sidebar

Virtuoso's sidebar has been revamped to provide an improved experience.

The sidebar can now be expanded to more easily navigate to various sections of Virtuoso.

When on the goal view or an execution report where the sidebar options are hidden, you can now expand the sidebar by clicking on the Virtuoso icon, and directly navigate to the screen of your choice (e.g., navigate from the goal view to the extensions manager directly).

- Every shared checkpoint is now indicated on the product (including the first checkpoint which is always shared).
- When you have a checkpoint open, you can simply click the checkpoint to filter the journeys by the specific checkpoint you have selected (e.g., in order to find which journeys lead to the open checkpoint).
- Root cause analysis tab is no longer shown on steps on which there is no failure.
- Network requests, and console logs:
  - The number of network requests in each failure category is now clearly indicated, as well as the number of network requests for the specific type of event.
  - Exception console logs are now collected and shown on the console logs.
Extensions on steps: When using an extension in the step that exists both as an organization and project extension, in the step side panel we indicate whether it's the organization one or the project one (to avoid ambiguity).
Mouse up/down commands are now supported with supplying an element. For example, you can now perform a custom drag and drop by mouse over "Element", mouse move by 50, 50, mouse up
Drag and drop (mouse drag to command) has been improved to make an initial small movement before moving to the target element.
Our date picker relative dates have been rewritten to be more clear, using "days". As an example, Past week is now Last 7 days.
Snapshot comparison: While using the swipe mode, the middle swipe button will now be made invisible when you're dragging the swipe slider.
Several confirmation modal dialogs have been reworded to make their action and intent more clear.
Apps:
- "Copy to clipboard" action of app's client key, client secret, and signing secret now no longer include quotes around them.
- Different organizations can now have apps with the same name.

# Removed

Old project dashboard: the main project dashboard of virtuoso has been replaced with a new view/user experience. This means that certain functionality such as the "Changes / Success ratio over time" graph will no longer be available.

# 1.18 - 2020-09-30

# Added

Timeline highlight:
- Goal timeline is now available showing the latest jobs, changes and comments.
- Changes are now detailed on the timeline, for example, when you change elements or steps, you can see in the timeline what the change exactly was.
- You can now leave comments mentioning your colleagues by email or username, and they would receive an email, so that you can collaborate with one another.
- You can now easily mention your colleagues by pressing @ and auto-completing their email/username.
Copy/paste highlight: you can now paste multiple steps in JSON format as a new step by copying the checkpoints to clipboard and pasting them into a new step input.
Bridge highlight:
- Multi-cloud support: The virtuoso bridge now supports testing across our AWS and GCP cloud infrastructures.
- Support SOCKS proxies to reach Virtuoso (new client parameter --socks-proxy).
- Upgraded communications protocol. Requires bridge client updated.
Performance timeline: In your goal view, you can now view the performance timeline of your goal based on the captured snapshots at the time.

# Fixed

Execution planner: the date and time picker now shows the time selector.
Extensions: Saving inline script as extension now copies the content from the inline script to create the extension as expected.
Test data selection on plans: the data tables associated to a journey now are scrollable if the number of rows is large.
NLP parser: we have fixed the ability to author inline scripts in NLP.
Execution report: the side effects tab now previews lists of items in the original order they were created (before this, it was sorting the lists).
Navigation from a step that executes an inline script to another step of the same type now shows the correct script code.
The healing and continue-on-failure options on steps are now persisted also for copy/pasted steps and journeys.
The logout flow of Virtuoso has been significantly improved, and you will no longer face issues after logging-back again.

# Changed

Change to synchronization highlight: Synchronization now immediately syncs your graph and starts an execution to capture snapshots of your checkpoints. After this, your graph will automatically remain in sync and synchronization will no longer be necessary (simply start an execution with checkpoint-capture enabled).
Snapshot comparison highlight: the comparison tab on goal view now clearly shows the checkpoint involved in the comparison, and a comparison of your checkpoint titles and URLs between different snapshots.
Organization dashboard highlight:
- You can now see the number of active projects, members, teams in your organization (as an organization owner).
- The default sorting order has been changed to Recent (meaning either last accessed or created date depending on whether you have accessed the project or not).
Screenshot viewer highlight: the scroll region on the screenshot viewer is now restricted to the image itself (you will no longer go outside the bound of the viewer if you scroll too much).
Date selectors highlight: you can now use quick relative time ranges such as "Past week" which is a more human-friendly format.
Data tables: status icon of test data tables now indicate if it's in use by your journeys.
Timeline now always jumps to the latest/bottom.
Goal import: when importing goals which had shared checkpoints, checkpoints are now imported as shared as well.
Page loading timeout: Virtuoso now reports any problems faced while it waits for a page to load before moving to the next step in the step side effects.

# 1.17 - 2020-08-28

# Added

Organization dashboard: highlight
- This is the new main dashboard that enables you to see how your projects are doing.
- You can see the latest status of your journeys executed within the last month, this should help with understanding the state of your testing.
- You can filter data historically, to see for instance one week ago, how your tests were doing.
- You can now clearly see the project assets you have (e.g., how many extensions, data-tables, plans you have).
- You can see the number of execution jobs for your current active goals over any selected date range period.
- As an organization owner, you can now more clearly and quickly view your usage, and manage your members and teams.
Commenting: highlight You can now leave comments on the journey and step timelines. This should make collaboration with your team easier.
Timelines: highlight
- You can now filter timeline actions by their type (execution, change, or comment).
- On step executions, you can see the screenshot of the step (along with its before/after element interaction) for all historical executions.
- On journey timeline, steps and checkpoints for which an action happened are now clickable and on title-text we indicate the change.
Customer success integration: highlight
- You can reach out to customer success team directly from the product (see steps to enable this below). Simply leave a comment on a step or journey you are facing issues with, and mention @cs or @support along with your query. Note that by doing so, you are granting Virtuoso's customer success team access to see your journey.
- To enable this for your organization, you need to follow the steps below:
  - As an organization owner, open the organization dashboard;
  - Navigate to Apps screen;
  - Find the @CS app, click on it, and then click Install;
  - Create a new integration user, calling it Customer Success, and provide an email for this bot user, and then click Install;
  - Once installed, click on the integration user, and on top right, change account access to Owner;
  - That's it! You can now leave a comment mentioning @cs in a journey or step timeline, to summon our customer success team.
    @CS app has been deprecated (2023-08-10)
    
    You can still reach out to our product support team by clicking the chat icon embedded in our help panel or going directly to our support portal.
Shared and re-usable checkpoints: highlight experimental
- You can now share and re-use checkpoints in your journeys. This means that maintaining one checkpoint's steps will maintain them in every place they were used.
- On new goals from this release onwards, checkpoint sharing is enabled by default, but on older goals you need to first Enable checkpoint sharing using the goal options on the project dashboard.
- Checkpoints can only be re-used once in a journey (they can not be repeated in the same journey).
- To re-use a checkpoint, underneath any checkpoint, click "New journey from here".
Merge checkpoints: highlight
- You can now merge checkpoints by moving your mouse in-between two checkpoints and clicking "Merge checkpoints".
- Checkpoint merging moves all steps from the top checkpoint, to the bottom checkpoint. Note that you will lose the top checkpoint as a result.
- Shared-checkpoints cannot be merged (since it would have unexpected impact on all journeys). You can unshare the checkpoint first. First checkpoint cannot be merged.
Re-order checkpoints: highlight
- You can now drag and drop checkpoints to re-order them (by dragging the left-most side of the checkpoint).
- Note that first checkpoint cannot be re-ordered, and checkpoints cannot be moved before it.

# Fixed

Goals imported or cloned will now have their graph generated automatically. This means that you can immediately execute and capture snapshots.
Updating step variables using the step properties panel should no longer face a problem.

# Changed

Enhanced auto-scaling: highlight We have made significant improvements to our infrastructure, and improved how we automatically scale to handle your requests. In times of significant demand, it should take only minutes to see your journeys executing.
Captured checkpoints: highlight On project dashboard's job items, we now indicate when checkpoints have been captured. Clicking the checkpoints captured in the execution report will also take you to the snapshot comparison screen.
The Summary screen in goal view has been revamped to give more space to view failing requests/console logs, and to better view the performance timeline. We now clearly indicate when there are failing requests/logs.
Organization dashboard is now the default screen of Virtuoso. This means that virtuoso will no longer navigate you to the last active project you had. You can of course bookmark your project on your browser, or favorite it on Virtuoso for direct access to them.
We have renamed Integrations to Apps on Virtuoso; documentation for this might still refer to Integrations however.

# 1.16 - 2020-07-31

# Added

Execution report in goal view: highlight
- Once you execute a journey, you can see its execution in the goal view right away, without having to navigate to execution report.
- You can now not only view a journey's latest execution status (or related to the selected version of the journey) while authoring, but also view this per step.
- The step side-panel now shows all related execution tabs, based on the latest execution of the step for the given version. This means that you can now author tests without having to leave the goal view.
Unified testing with capturing of snapshots during normal executions: highlight experimental
- You can now perform executions with automatic capturing of snapshot. This works effectively as running an execution and snapshot comparison at the same time, except that they happen during the same execution.
- Note: this feature is currently experimental and until ready, it will not trigger by default unless you explicitly enable it in execute advanced, or set your goal's default to always capture a snapshot during execution.
Snapshot comparison: highlight
- Sharing the URL of a snapshot comparison will now reconstruct the viewport as you see it for people navigating to the link.
- Comparisons can now be viewed from the goal view, and clicking on a journey will show comparisons of the pages related to that journey.
- Leaving comments, or flagging a comparison will now update in real-time, meaning you will no longer have to refresh the page.
- When navigating to a new snapshot comparison, the option to sort by Level of change will automatically activate when the background computation is complete.
Step and journey timelines: highlight experimental
- You can now view step timelines (their changes, execution history, etc.) to better understand how they changed, by whom, and what was their status in the past.
- You can view timeline of a journey, along with all checkpoint and step related events that happened to the journey in the past.
Environment variables: highlight
- You can now create and manage environments for your projects (accessible through the left-hand side menu of dashboard).
- Each environment contains a set of variables that become automatically available in your journeys. For example, when each of your testing environment may have a different URL, and login credentials that you need as part of your journey setup, you can set these in your Virtuoso environments.
- Environments can be based on other environments and only override certain variables.
- Variables can be marked as sensitive, so they can be used to store secrets (e.g: login credentials). These secrets will be redacted in side effects and will not be returned after you save them.
- Projects and goals can be configured to use an environment by default, and you can also choose an environment to use for a specific execution.
- Jobs executed with a different environment than the project or goal's default will be automatically tagged with the name of the environment.
We now support cross browser testing on macOS Catalina, along with the latest browsers such as Safari 13. New devices have also been added such as iPhone SE 2020, iPad Pro 2020 editions, and Google Pixel 4.

# Fixed

Execution side effects:
- Show a link when a popup was dismissed to see its screenshot.
- JSON values are now shown again and are properly formatted.
Autocomplete now provides test data table variable suggestions when authoring tests.
Fixed problem leading to the duplication of job tags when attempting to remove them.
Resolved performance problem related to generation of tests after explorations.
Goal view - Step editor: Variable names are now validated while editing a test step variable name.

# Changed

Goal view: highlight experimental
- The goal view has been revamped to provide a more streamlined user experience.
- The hamburger-based menu panels have been changed to a clean and clear tab view.
- Journey list is now the default view of the left panel.
- The checkpoint view on the left panel is now always filtered by the journeys shown in the left panel.
- Steps and checkpoints have dedicated side panels that open on the right-hand side. Note that if you need more space, you can resize each panel by dragging the center panel separator.
- Journey tags are now clearly shown on the journey view.
- The checkpoints in the comparison screen is filtered by the selected journey or the list of journeys on the left panel.
Execution report:
- Active tab is now kept when switching from a test step to another if the tab is still available (e.g: seeing side effects from a test step, switch to a different test step that also has side effects).
Execute advanced dialog options now clearly provide a hint for each item.

# 1.15 - 2020-06-30

# Added

Intelligent element selection: highlight
- New engine: The engine behind our intelligent element selection feature (guessing) has been re-built to reflect some of the most sought out capabilities.
- Relative guessing: Element guessing is now performed using a more human-oriented approach, that is, each step simply is executed with respect to the context of the previous step. For example, if you have a list of 10 items with the same layout, you can simply see 'Item you wish' and then click 'Delete', which would aim to delete that specific item.
- Breaking change: Note that because of the new engine, you may notice a change in behavior (e.g., especially if you were previously using workarounds). If you face any issues or doubts, please contact the customer success team.
- Performance: The new engine is orders of magnitude faster than before. For stability purposes, we continue to use both engines to ensure no potential regressions have occurred in capability, but expect to turn the old engine off at a later date (and as a result, speed-up guessing in your tests by orders of magnitude).
Virtuoso Flow: highlight experimental
- We are introducing a new Virtuoso integration which enables you to build custom flows against Virtuoso events.
- Examples:
  - When my journey with name A completes, execute journey B (e.g., useful for process automation, or setup and teardown).
  - When my journey with tag X fails or has a variable value matching a condition, notify me on Slack.
  - When my plan execution completes (e.g., you can take advantage of the scheduling feature), execute one or more journeys.
- All data context in journeys triggered from one another (journey A executed triggering journey B) are passed. This means that you can automate an entire business flow end to end.
- We are currently launching this with the following conditions (but expect more to come): journey executed, plan executed, extension created/updated. Note that each condition can have a variety of filters (all filters need to evaluate to true for condition to pass).
- We are also launching the following actions: Execute journey(s), Notify on Slack (you can customize the message using templates), Trigger webhook (useful if you want to get notified when specific conditions pass), Wait (for a variable number of seconds), GitHub (store your extensions in GitHub).
- To use Flow, simply install it using the Integrations tab of your organization management screen (making sure that you give the access user permission to your desired projects), and then you should be able to see it in your project dashboard's top-left context menu.
Test authoring and graph: highlight On new or synchronized goals, you can now see the graph get built as you add new checkpoints. This helps provide a better reflection of the tests on the graph, from the moment you write them.
Test execution: highlight You can now execute journeys quicker than before, and let Virtuoso take care of preparing your journeys/execution in the background.
Execution report: highlight Virtuoso now better indicates an execution report when a journey is queued as opposed to being executed (running). This should help with better understanding the execution process.
Keyboard navigation: highlight In execution report, you can navigate between selected steps simply using up/down arrows of your keyboard.
Step side panel: highlight We have revamped the step side panel on the execution report, such that clicking anywhere on the step opens up the panel, screenshot is immediately selected, and other sections are clearly visible as tabs.
UI Augmentation in Virtuoso Apps (Integrations): highlight You can now build your custom forms for the configuration. Virtuoso also stores installation configurations and sends them to your integration on every event and action, reducing integration complexity.
Snapshot comparison: highlight
- Highlight: A new mode of displaying the differences between the previous and current application version screenshots has been added. This highlights any differences between the screenshots in red. Darker areas indicate minimal changes.
- Documentation: Information about the snapshot comparison capability has been added (read more).
Execution side effects: When viewing JSON values in execution report, Virtuoso now shows the objects in a proper structured format to help with reviewing the data used/received (especially useful if you are testing and validating your API).

# Fixed

Execution report: highlight The report should no longer get stuck in progress when an execution has completed.
Slack integration: You will now receive notifications for all executions. Some notifications were previously being skipped due to an error.
Copy/paste: The healing decision (e.g., never heal this element) is now correctly restored when you paste to insert a journey from clipboard.
Extension archive: Archiving an extension is now properly reflecting its new name and folder.
Extension restore: The restored extension should now get their original name back correctly (assuming no existing extension exists with the same name).
Goal import: Journey tags are now correctly imported along with the rest of the goal.
Press command: You can now use variables with the press command.

# Changed

Test step properties: highlight We have revamped our step properties screen to a full-width panel with a more clear view of the possible actions. This comes with a variety of different improvements, such as a better view of the interacted element (currently available only in journeys generated by exploration).
Execution report: highlight In execution reports, you can now simply click any step (anywhere on the step) to see its screenshot, and other attributes of the step (as a result of this, we have removed the layout/report tabs of the report).
Autocomplete: highlight We have revamped the natural language auto-complete experience to better group interactions (e.g., keyboard, mouse, page interactions, validations, extensions). This should make it easier to see possible interactions.
Notifications: highlight Job status notifications (e.g., launch or completion of executions, explorations, etc.) now clearly indicate who performed the action, on what project, the outcome (e.g., status of an execution), and the Take me there link is now a true link which you can for example ctrl-click to open in a new tab.
Search by Tag: highlight You can now quickly search for jobs by their tag (with autocomplete), as well as quickly tag jobs using the autocomplete. We have also significantly sped-up the performance of job search by their tag on the dashboard.
Library:
- We have optimized existing library extensions to run on pages with restricted policies on external scripts (and they should also run faster than before).
- Drag and drop: Although Virtuoso supports drag and drop through commands, on some special pages where HTML5 drag and drop is used, they do not get triggered by browser automation. This extension overcomes that limitation.
Snapshot comparison: The user interface has been changed to more closely reflect other parts of the Virtuoso UI.
Integration actions: The interface of the data sent to integration actions has been unified with other events, to help with easier authoring of Virtuoso apps (integrations).
Goal View / Execution report: Relevant entities (journeys, checkpoints and test steps) will now be properly scrolled into viewport when necessary (e.g., opening a link with a step selected).
Integration actions payload are now also treated as events. This unification allows integration developers to follow DRY principle.
Cross-browser updates: We now support Firefox up to version 77, Microsoft Edge up to version 83, and on mobile devices the new Oneplus 8.

# 1.14 - 2020-05-29

# Added

Expression support in test steps (see Using expressions in your tests): highlight
- Calculate values or element hints using extensions: for example write ${42 * $total + $vat} in "Price".
- All variables in context are available automatically, for example store element text of input "Email" in email then write ${"new-" + $email} in input "New Email".
- Full ES2019+ support from the browser (note that if you are running cross-browser tests, you need to make sure your expressions are compatible with the version of the browser you are using)
Extensions: highlight
- External resources / imports: You can now import JavaScript libraries from popular CDNs (cdnjs, jsDeliver, unpkgd, and GitHub gists) to your extensions, without having to embed them inside your extensions.
- Performance improvement: Significant performance improvements for projects with many extensions
- Ability to archive (delete) scripts
- Directives are now separated on the extension manager from the rest of the extensions
- Ability to add description
- You now have much larger screen for editing the extensions
Store element support (see the examples in the documentation): highlight
- You can now store elements into variables (e.g., store element details of "Login" in $var), to extract their data or make further interactions with them.
- When you store an element into a variable, or an extension you have returns an element, you can interact with the same element in later steps (e.g., store element details "Login" into $foo and then click $foo).
Tagging: highlight Job tags have been unified with project tags, when you associate a tag to a job it will show as a tag in the project.
Personal tokens: highlight Rather than having to hard-code your username/password when you want to use Virtuoso API, CI/CD, build integrations, for the bride, etc. you can now create personal tokens.
Authoring experience: highlight Test step now has variable auto-complete for variables created locally in the test step, this includes variables from the data-table.
Apps / Integrations: Events sent from Virtuoso are now signed (available in the X-Virtuoso-Signature header), allowing integrations to verify if the requests really comes from Virtuoso (see Virtuoso Integrations for more information)
Virtuoso Status: highlight Virtuoso now publishes the status of the Virtuoso production cluster (app.virtuoso.qa) on Virtuoso Status. You can find a link to this on the top-right of this documentation as well.
Cross-browser testing: We have updated our grid with the latest browsers such as Chrome up to version 83, Firefox up to version 76.

# Fixed

Execution Planner:
- Organization owners are now able to see Execution Plans on all Projects of their Organization even if the user has no direct access to the Project.
- Notifications Slack URL test action fixed. You can now test again your Slack URL in the plan notification configuration window.
Data-driven testing: When the change of a data-table is the last change you've made, virtuoso now correctly executes the latest version of your goal rather than the one before it.
Test data modal: Layout problems and visibility of some checkpoint titles and step descriptions were fixed.
Snapshot comparison: We have made a number of improvements such as making sure images do not become blurry on zoom, that zoom in/out is available in every screen (including swipe, fade and comparison).

# Changed

Intelligent element selection (guessing): highlight Virtuoso is now significantly faster at recognizing elements using hints.
Store command: highlight We have made the syntax of the store command explicit such that you can now define whether you want to store a specific text value or an element.
- Store full element object representation: e.g., use store element details of input "Login" in $var
- store text content of element: e.g., use store element text of input "Login" in $var
- store a specific value into variable: e.g., use store value "Login" in $var
Virtuoso Bridge: We've improved stability of the bridge when connecting bridge clients.
Execution plan notifications: You can now define a plan notification configuration with no users as long as you have a Slack URL defined.

# 1.13 - 2020-04-29

# Added

Authoring experience: highlight
- Automatic version control: Virtuoso now manages edit/commit actions for you. Simply press execute when you have finished making changes.
- Read-only indicator: The goal view now clearly indicates when a goal is in read-only mode (e.g., when it is an older version, or cannot be edited due to an exploration/synchronization/snapshot-comparison running).
- Edit on latest version (previously known as snapshot): Simply click a goal on the dashboard to view its latest version and edit it.
Latest journey execution and change status: You can now on the goal view see the latest execution status of a journey with ability to jump directly to the corresponding execution report, and in the event that it has not been executed since the last time it got changed, the date at which the journey was changed. experimental highlight
Virtuoso Bridge: highlight
- Added support for bridges over HTTP (default mode from this release onward). Previous mode, over SOCKS, is still available if needed.
- Cross-browser and mobile testing is now supported on Virtuoso Bridge.
- You can now easily test your local (development) environment using the bridge, and test your code using Virtuoso as it is being developed.
- See more information about these topics on the updated bridge documentation.
Mobile Testing: IP White-listing and bridge are now supported for real mobile devices.
IP-based URL support: You can now use IPv4 addresses as part of the goal URL, e.g., http://192.168.1.42/path. You may find this particularly handy if you are using the bridge to run tests against your local development environment.
Extensions: highlight
- Extension Library: We have made available our extension library available with a set of extensions you can readily add with a single click. We will be continuously adding new examples to this library over time based on your feedback.
- Extension input arguments: Extension inputs are now always clearly indicated in the extension manager.
- Auto-complete of arguments: The editor now suggests to auto-complete the input variables, as well as the done()/doneError() necessary for asynchronous extensions.
- Returning elements: You can now return elements from extensions and store their details in variables (e.g., return document.querySelector('#myElement')), such that you can then use the outcome to validate details about the element.
Resizable panels: You can now resize the goal and execution panels by dragging the middle vertical splitter to better fit your screen.
Apps / Integrations:
- Menu augmentation: You can now augment nearly every menu found on Virtuoso using actions from your integrations. highlight
- Test events: To help with debugging your integrations, you can now dispatch test events to your integration.
Cross-browser/mobile testing: We have added various new devices to our grid such as latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge browser (including the new Chrome-based Microsoft Edge), as well as new mobile devices such as Samsung Galaxy S20, Oneplus 7T, Galaxy Tab S6, Xiaomi Redmi note 8, and more. (Full list is available on our cross-browser testing supported devices list)

# Fixed

Snapshot comparison: We have made many small fixes and enhancements to our snapshot comparison screen to provide a more robust comparison experience.highlight
Synchronization report: The goal view no longer breaks when the job has been cancelled or when no report is available.
Execution planner: You can now edit the plan's max parallelism.
Journey tags are now cloned to the new project when an old project version is forked.
Organization renaming now works as expected.

# Changed

Synchronization: You can now synchronize long journeys regardless of the length of your journey. highlight
Terminology change: We now refer to versions of a goal as version instead of snapshot, to reduce the confusion between versions and snapshot-testing (which is a capability of Virtuoso). highlight
Execution report: highlight
- Improved filtering: you can now clearly see how many journeys had status of what kind, filter them out with a single click, as well as ability to search the journey.
- Tags: Journey tags are now shown on the execution report as well.
- Sorting: You can sort your execution report by journey ID, name, or duration.
- Re-execute: Re-execute failed button renamed to clarify that only failed journeys are re-executed.
- Jump to goal view: When switching to the goal view () the tooltip now indicates to where the jump is performed (e.g., if you switch while having a journey open it will indicate that it will open the current journey).
Variable with default: We have changed the default syntax of "default value" as $var to $var with default "default value" to avoid syntax ambiguity regarding when the text or the content of the variable are used.
Goal view: We have improved the goal view interface to better indicate the date of the version being viewed.

# 1.12 - 2020-03-31

# Added

Virtuoso Bridge: experimental highlight
- We are introducing our secure bridge solution which enables you to create a secure tunnel against your local environment without having to expose your network through the firewall.
- You can use the bridge to either test your local application (during development, enabling you to shift-left your testing), or to test your internal applications behind firewall.
- The bridge client is available for all major operating systems: Linux, Windows, and MacOS. See our bridge documentation for more details.
- Note: Given that this is the initial release of the bridge, it is currently considered experimental and your feedback is essential in shaping the future of this feature.
Deep variable lookup: You can now lookup and store data deeply nested inside a JSON variable. For example, if your API returns $data, you can then use $data.user.firstName as a variable to use in a Virtuoso step. highlight
Journey view: Virtuoso now indicates which other users are also viewing/editing the same journey you have opened. This should help with reducing the confusion as to who else is viewing/editing your journey. highlight
Data-driven journeys: If a journey has a data-table assigned, the first row of the data-table will now be automatically preloaded as variables when synchronizing or executing the journey in non-data-driven mode: highlight
- For synchronization, this means that you can now synchronize data-driven journeys with data from the first row of the data-table.
- For execution, even when you execute a journey in a non-data-driven mode, the variables will now be preloaded using the first row (which means that you no longer have to run with test data when trying to build the journey).
Extensions (Natural language extensions): highlight
- Terminology: We have changed our terminology from scripts to extensions, to make it clear to our users that ability to write scripts is not necessary to use them, and to signify how easy it is to extend and augment Virtuoso's natural language.
Right click: You can now right-click on web elements (note that this is only for when custom context menus have been implemented, and not the native browser context menu; note that Virtuoso does not show the native context menu of the browser). highlight
Mouse actions on current position: Supplying the element is now optional for mouse click, double click, and right click; which means that you can now perform these actions on the current position of the mouse (note that mouse click and click are separate commands as described in the natural language guide).
Tagging:
- You can now tag journeys from inside the journey.
- You can now bulk-tag multiple journeys by selecting them on the journey list.
- Project tags are now cloned when you clone the project.
Integrations - Rocket shop: You can now create your own custom rocket shop environment. You may have to install the integration first in your organization if it hasn't been done yet. Then you will find the Rocketshop Instances option underneath your project's more options menu.

# Fixed

Stability: You should no longer see a message marked as skipped without further information when Virtuoso fails to execute it. highlight
Auto-complete: When executing natural language extensions (scripts) with ordered parameters, the auto-complete will now correctly indicate the need for comma between the arguments.
Goal import: Scripts and data-tables imported alongside a goal should now automatically appear after the import has finished, without requiring a browser refresh.
Blank script names: Users are no longer allowed to create scripts that have names consisting in whitespace.
Plan notifications for Slack: The goal link on the Slack notification is now fixed.
Execution report: You can now see the failure report when execution is still in progress but has only partially completed.
Integrations: Uninstalling an integration that has no webhook URL no longer fails.

# Changed

Dashboard project activity: highlight
- You can now directly filter by a single job type by using their icons in the job filter, or toggle them individually by using the checkboxes in the expanded list.
- We have improved the timestamps on the project activity to better indicate the time of execution.
- The number of journeys, as well as the failing journeys, is now clearly shown on the log.
- The execution animation now displays job activity more clearly.
- Jobs can be now stopped by hovering the status indicator, which will change to a stop button.
Execution report: The report is now immediately updated as soon as journeys are executed. highlight
Performance: We have improved the performance of executing your journeys, so you may notice a considerable performance improvement overall. highlight
Assert equals: On assert equals/not equals, Virtuoso now normalizes the whitespace in the compared text values, according to web standards (W3 Spec). This should reduce unnecessary comparison errors when the underlying page has multiple spaces in the text. highlight
Tagging: When forking a goal, corresponding tag references are copied as well; that is, if you remove a tag in a goal you have cloned, it will not impact the journey on the original goal.
Content of dropdown elements: When storing content of a dropdown or asserting against its value (<select> field), Virtuoso now uses the value of the selected option (or empty text if no option is selected).
Checkpoint view: Virtuoso now clearly indicates how many journeys are associated to a checkpoint.

# 1.11 - 2020-02-26

Virtuoso Integrations:
- Virtuoso now provides the foundation to easily build and register apps on Virtuoso that integrate with Virtuoso events (see integrations documentation for details). highlight
- We now provide our full REST API documentation, which you can use to integrate with Virtuoso, or to create custom integration apps (see API documentation for details). highlight
Natural language: Execute test step parameters can be typed by order, for example: sum ($price, 42) returning $total highlight
Snapshot comparison:
- It is now possible to review a comparison by marking the change as expected/unexpected highlight
- You can now leave comments as you review a snapshot comparison (on any point on the changed screenshot) highlight
- It is possible to order snapshot comparisons by the magnitude of difference between the screenshots of the old and new states. This is only possible on snapshot-comparison jobs where the difference calculation has finished, and the calculation starts when navigating to a snapshot comparison. experimental
Organization management: You can now remove users from your organization.

# Fixed

Project cloning: You can now clone projects that have scripts and/or test data.
Natural language autocomplete: while creating an Execute test step the arguments are now correctly suggested.
Organization owners can now check details about their own access level to a project and change the direct access level.
Contextual menus will adapt better and overflow the viewport less often at lower resolutions.

# Changed

Scalability: We have improved scalability, stability, and reliability of Virtuoso when processing your jobs (e.g., executions, exploration, etc.) to better handle demand without impacting service availability. highlight
Directive: The performance of the default directive of Virtuoso has been optimised and now automatically interacts with the buttons on the page as well. Note that you can always change and/or extend the directive behavior yourself.
Documentation: We have reorganized and revamped this guide in certain areas, to make it easier for you to find sections.
API deprecation notice: Virtuoso API will soon no longer envelope messages by default. We advise you to add ?envelope=false to your API queries, such that when we make this behavior default in the future, you would not face an issue with our API interface.
Context menus: We have better organized goal menu options into relevant sections, to make it easier to identify the options.
Icons: We have revised few icons such as copy, paste, clone, etc. to better indicate their actions.

# 1.10 - 2020-01-30

# Added

Tagging highlight:
- You can now tag your journeys using the options menu of journeys ();
- When viewing the list of journeys, you can search journeys by tag (e.g., single tag tag:generated, multiple tags tag:critical tag:payment, tags with spaces tag:"Order scenario"), and you can even exclude journeys by their tag (e.g., -tag:generated);
- You can manage your tags at project level, using the more options settings of the project;
- Tip: Unicode Emojis are also Supported!
Automatically tagged journeys: Every journey generated using Virtuoso is now tagged generated. highlight
Execution report:
- You can now view side effects of your journeys summarized in a dedicated side effects tab. highlight
- Interacted element: You can now see the element that was interacted with during the execution, using the element view under the Layout tab (Note that this feature is experimental, and is not available on certain browsers such as IE11 and mobile devices; please report any cases where you believe the highlighted element is mispositioned). experimental highlight
- Healed element screenshot: When an element is healed, you can now see a screenshot of the healed element. highlight
Directives:
- Ability to fill forms: You can now automatically generate directive instructions to fill forms. See the updated examples. highlight
- Ability to extend Virtuoso's default directive: Your directives no longer have to completely override Virtuoso's default directive, and you can simply extend the current behavior. Checkout our documentation for an example of this. highlight
- Skip exploring unexpected pages: You can now skip exploring further pages that should not be explored (e.g., if you link to your Instagram page, you may not want to explore that Instagram page further).
Snapshot comparison highlight:
- There is a new Comparison mode under the Overlay comparison feature which enables you to view the differences between the two screenshots;
- It is now possible to change the opacity in the Fade comparison mode to seamlessly blend between the two screenshots;
- Snapshot comparison interface has been improved, and you can now reset the positions of both screenshots.
Organization management: You can now see exactly how a user has access to each project (e.g., a user can be member of multiple teams and/or have direct access to the project), and manage the users access accordingly.
Cross browser testing: We've added various new devices (iPad 7th Gen, Galaxy S10e/Plus, A10, Pixel 4), as well as new updates to our browser versions (Chrome, Firefox, as well the new Chromium based Microsoft Edge).

# Fixed

Write command (appending): appending text to existing fields now correctly appends text even when the text field automatically highlights the content. Our natural language interface will also now correctly indicate when a write is appending.
Long text content in steps: Our natural language interface will now soft-wrap long text, to avoid text from overflowing or to become hidden.
Plan notification alert: Adding an invalid user to be notified now shows an error.

- You can now use any desired resolution —up to the maximum allowed by the selected environment OS— when performing an advanced execution of a Goal. highlight
- New browsers and real devices are available to test with (e.g., iPhone XS, Galaxy Note 10+, the latest Chrome and Firefox updates, etc.).
Data-driven testing: when data-driving a journey with a data-table, all columns of the data table will also be automatically available as variables in the context of the journey. For example, if you use url as a column name, it becomes available as $url. Note that any non-alphanumeric character (e.g., whitespace) automatically turns into underscore (e.g., item price becomes item_price). highlight
Goal Import/Export: You can now export all goal journeys, and import them into another new goal.
Continue on all failures: On assertion steps' properties, you can now set whether execution should continue executing whether the steps below fail for any reason, for unsatisfied assertions, by toggling the option "Continue if assertion condition is not met".
Maximum parallelism at goal level: you can now define as an advanced configuration the maximum number of parallel journeys run across all running activities (e.g., explorations, executions, etc.). This would supersede any limit defined on the job itself.
Default parallelism: as part of your goal's advanced configuration, you can configure the default max-parallelism limit of individual activities (e.g., exploration, execution, snapshot testing) will take, but it can be overridden (e.g., at the time of launching an execution).

# Fixed

Cross-browser testing: Screen resolutions on our cross-browser testing now tries to reflect the more closely the Virtuoso screen sizes. However, if resizing beyond the supported screen resolutions (see limitations), Virtuoso automatically maximises to the maximum supported resolution.

# 1.5 - 2019-09-20

# Added

Directives (alpha experimental release): Directives bring the power to automate the automation! As an automation engineer, you can change and direct Virtuoso on how to explore and discover your application at scale, and to generate tests. The possibilities for this are endless. This is an experimental release of this feature, and this capability and the interface may significantly change in following releases. (read more) highlight experimental
Ability to merge checkpoints on the graph highlight experimental: you can achieve this by first selecting a page on the graph, and then right-clicking on another page on the graph and then clicking "Merge selected checkpoint into this". Note that this removes the checkpoint that you merge into, but does not currently remove its corresponding journey (you can remove that manually).
Ability to capture a new snapshot of one or more specific checkpoints (via the context-menu triggered by right-clicking the checkpoint on the graph, or by selecting the checkpoints on the checkpoint-view and clicking the capture button). highlight
Ability to copy a human-readable version of the execution/failure report of a selected step from execution page (e.g., to include in an issue tracker).
Support for disabling intelligent checkpoint consolidation (via goal advanced settings).
Support for disabling same-origin enforcement at browser level (via goal advanced settings). For example, you can make API calls to external sources outside the origin the page is running at.

Redesigned exploration panel selector to increase its usability: size has been increased and the labels for menu items are always shown.
Test data page design, usability, and overall performance improvements.
Wait commands longer than 2 minutes are no longer allowed. If you do require longer waits, please break them down into separate wait steps.

# Removed

Snapshot comparison view button on dashboard; each goal now has its own comparison button inside their view.

# 1.4 - 2019-08-02

# Added

Real mobile device testing: You can now execute tests on real Android and iOS devices. Using the same Execute Advanced menu or the device configuration on plans, you can now choose real devices with operating systems iOS and Android. highlight experimental
- Note: these real devices can be significantly slower than other custom environments, and so, please avoid executing large and long journeys on them.
You can now export your goal journeys as Selenium tests (read more). highlight experimental
- Simply click on the more options icon beside a goal on dashboard and click "Export journeys in Selenium". This does not (and will not) include any intelligent aspects of Virtuoso (e.g., self-maintenance, intelligent element selection, self-correcting element interaction mechanisms, etc.).
Significant expansion in cross-browser support. This includes older operating systems (e.g., Windows XP) and browsers (e.g., Internet explorer). highlight experimental
Support for non-standard languages and font families such as Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, etc.
When browsing a goal, you can now see the selected page highlighted above, switch to next/previous pages on the list, deselect the page, or jump to the page's URL. The page navigation on the graph is now removed as a result.
Webhook events for snapshot testing and synchronisations (see more on Webhooks - Event types).
Bulk plan execution support: you can now select multiple plans and execute them using the more options menu besides the "Plans" title.
You can now select multiple journeys to execute (or perform advanced execution on). More bulk-journey actions will come in following releases (e.g., delete, copy, etc.).
Added input unit in plan notification configuration (e.g., % of failed journeys).

# Fixed

Uploading files is now working when executing tests cross-browser.
Some back buttons in the UI sometimes lead to an endless loop, this should no longer occur.

Scripts that are currently in use can no longer be deleted. We will provide functionality in the future to be able to archive these scripts.
Resolution configuration has been removed from plan cross-browser execution options on plans (this was only due to a technical limitation which we have resolved). This now automatically matches the goal device size. However, for mobile real devices (Android/iOS), there is only a fixed configuration (the size of the selected device) which cannot be changed.
Now execution reports show more clearly the device used to perform an execution.

# 1.3 - 2019-06-12

# 1.2 - 2019-05-09

# Added

Ability to explore further from pages inside the graph. For example, if after capturing a new snapshot new links are added to a page, you can now explore from that page to discover the new links. highlight (Note - If you have a goal that has been explored before the 1.0 (GA) release, you must synchronize it before you perform any further explorations. Otherwise, your tests can get duplicated)
Synchronization jobs now show their progress on the project dashboard. highlight
Plan notifications: highlight You can now add automatic notifications to be sent when a condition is met (e.g., execution status is success/failure, or the success ratio is above/below a certain percentage). This can be particularly useful if you have scheduled executions that you want to be notified about.
Ability to set a custom starting URL for executing journey(s) against different environment/URL (via Advanced execution) highlight.
Interface now should update when another user does changes to the test data table and data-driven associations.
Test data page:

Improved stability of synchronisations and snapshot comparisons.
When changing execution sequences (result of data-driven testing), the selected step remains selected.
Notification icon now only appears when a notification is present, and disappears after a few seconds when no notifications are shown.

# 1.0 - 2019-04-01

Terminology changes

This release contains changes to some of our terminology, particularly, we introduce the concept of journeys and checkpoints. See the changed section for more details.

# Added

Synchronization : highlight experimental
- Changes made to your journeys can now be applied to your graph using the Sync option on the goal list. You can then extend the graph using exploration to combine authored journeys with automatic explorations.
- Note: synchronization has not been mandatory in this release to enable evaluation of it, however it will be in the future releases.
- Warning: due to synchronization requirements, the first checkpoint (formerly called test case) in all journeys (formerly called test suites) must now be in-sync, since they represent the root of the graph. This means that changing the first checkpoint may now affect other journeys. Please see synchronization documentation to see how you can apply this fix across all your journeys.
- See the Documentation on syncing for information on how synchronization works
Snapshot testing highlight - You can now capture a new snapshot of your graph, with same exact structure as it is. Virtuoso creates a diff report that helps you compare the snapshots of your pages (checkpoints). Note that the snapshot comparison has been made intentionally highly-sensitive to any change on the page/comparison, and so it may flag changes when nothing of importance may have changed on the underlying page (that is, in these cases, this is currently expected behaviour).
- Note that on snapshot comparison, while we still allow comparison of arbitrary snapshots, this is going to change to only snapshot-pairs for which snapshot-testing was triggered.
Execution planner (See docs for more details and see known issues): highlight
- Create plans with a mix of device configurations, data-driven testing and journeys for the frequent configurations used;
- Plans can be scheduled at creation to be automatically executed by Virtuoso with a certain frequency;
- Executed plans will present metrics regarding the latest executions, grouping information from all the device configurations associated.
Test data management (Head over to the updated Data-driven testing section of the docs to learn more): highlight
- You can now create, edit and manage your test data all inside Virtuoso (i.e., without needing to import CSV files);
- You can now assign test data attributes to test steps in the same modal where you assign a test data table for a journey.
Popup auto-dismiss highlight - If an unexpected pop-up appears while Virtuoso is trying to click an element, Virtuoso will try to automatically dismiss the pop-up, and continue. If you find more cases where this feature does not work, please open an issue so that we can improve this capability.
Assertion support for variables, with comprehensive support for checks: assert $myvar contains "some text" (See the docs for more details)
Dynamic element selection using variables highlight - To target elements dynamically, open step properties, and under your hint selector click More hint options, and in the pop-up that opens, add a variable name. If the variable is set in a previous step in the journey, it'll be used instead of the clue of the selector. Note that this also means that when the variable is available, other selectors will be ignored.
Automatic element healing highlight - Step elements now get automatically healed as you execute them. When healing elements, Virtuoso looks at previous insights it had about an element, and it can automatically skip selectors if the element to be selected does not closely match with what Virtuoso expects. However, if an invalid element is selected, you can Forget element on the step properties panel, to make sure that Virtuoso will not try to heal the element to become what it had recognized it before. Note that currently, no existing selectors will be removed, and only new ones will be added.
Execution side effects highlight - when executing a step, Virtuoso will now record any side effects or contextual observations that may be relevant to users. You can view them by clicking the icon beside the steps that have side effects. These include:
- Warnings: while Virtuoso may be able to execute a step successful, sometimes it may try to resolve issues autonomously. These decisions may have unexpected side effects, and so can be valuable to help identify unexpected issues/behaviour. However, in most cases, these warnings are safe to ignore.
- Variable usage: When a variable is set or used, the value is recorded at the time of usage, to help with debugging.
- Files downloaded: If a step triggers a file to be downloaded, it'll be reported here. (note: while Virtuoso now supports downloading files, we have intentionally disabled it for the time being, until we evaluate potential performance implications of enabling it on our cluster).
- Popups auto-dismissed: If a pop-up auto-dismiss was attempted, it'll be reported here.
Ability to create Checkpoints from in-between steps: You can now split a long journey into smaller groups of steps by checkpointing in-between steps. Checkpointing in-between the steps of the first checkpoint is currently not supported.
Ability to create test suites without exploring -- via either the interface or the extension: highlight
- On Virtuoso dashboard, after creating a goal, you can click the goal to see two options: to explore the goal or to create your first journey manually. Once you're done building your journeys, you can click "Synchronize" to synchronize your journey.
- For building via the extension, you can create your goal on the Virtuoso dashboard, and then go ahead and record your journeys. Note that in this scenario we'll still create an empty "First journey", that you can extend manually too. Please do not forget to synchronize your journeys after recording them.

# Fixed

Forking a snapshot no longer creates duplicate edges.
Fixed performance degradation when opening execution pages with many failures (this only works for new executions following this release).

# Changed

Changes to our terminology:highlight to simplify the Virtuoso language and concepts
- Overall: For each goal, the test structure is comprised of a set of journeys, where each journey has a number of steps separated by checkpoints. Checkpoints result in a node on the graph (after they're synchronized).
- Test suites => Journeys: From the beginning we have been internally referring to a test suite as a journey, test, scenario, and so we decided to adapt this terminology to the product.
- Test cases / page states => Checkpoints: Each journey is a sequence of steps that takes the user from the starting point to a final state. These sequences of steps can be separated by checkpoints (like saving your state in a game). Each checkpoint will be represented on the graph as a node. Virtuoso understands checkpoints as page states as well and will keep monitoring for changes on every snapshot testing executed.
- Starting checkpoints: Each journey must now start with the same checkpoint (this allows us to synchronize your changes with the graph). If you want to start your journey from another URL, you can use a navigate step in the next checkpoint in the journey.
Snapshotting behaviour changes: highlight
- Although snapshot versioning still remains at project level (to enable users to evolve their goals in parallel), snapshot management works at goal level.
- Goals can now be changed (e.g., edited, committed, rolled back) in parallel without affecting each other. This means that different users can now work on different goals of a project without clashing with each others' work.
Improvements in test data editing:
- Test data row reorder and deletion now demands a confirmation via save button to be sent to server
- Detection of a test data value change does not wait until focus change anymore. Discard and save buttons are enabled as soon as the first character is changed.
- It is now possible to create rows where all attributes have no values
The panels for viewing checkpoints (formerly called pages) and journeys (formerly called suites) have been separated to enable direct access to journeys page. Search for journeys is also now available on the journeys page when no page is selected.

# Removed

Explore-further from suite: This has been replaced with the synchronization mechanism.

# 0.15 - 2019-03-08

# Added

Data-Driven testing (See docs for more details): highlight
- Manage test data using the Test data icon on the left side of the dashboard;
- Assign test data tables to test suites and then attributes to test steps;
- Use the advanced execution options to run with test data (this can be done both for an individual suite on exploration page, or all suites via dashboard);
- Execution report test suites shows a pagination of sequences of executions that were driven from test data.
Support for throwing errors in async language extensions (Please See the docs for more details).
Test suites can now be copied to clipboard. Complete test suite copy is available on the page's tests or test suite context menus, while partial copy of a test suite can be achieved by selecting the test cases to copy.
Support for CTRL+V and CMD+V to create a test case and test suites based on information on the clipboard. This shortcut needs to be used after opening the page suites or test cases without editing any other field (editing a field will capture the clipboard's contents to assign a name to that field).
Execution report now shows the browser configurations as well as the date/time of the execution.
Official support for external whitelisting of Virtuoso's IP. This means that Virtuoso can now easily direct bots' traffic through a specific IP for specific goals. For security reasons, this still needs to be configured by the product team when required by customers.

# Fixed

Support for auto-playing videos in chrome.
Execute test steps' properties panel now allows to edit all the variables present in test step. Variables that are not marked as inputs on the script are highlighted, and script input variables are always present even if they are not in the test step currently.
Unauthorized access or request on invalid execution URLs now shows the proper 404 page instead of displaying the loading animation indefinitely.
While exploring, your position on the graph is kept and will no longer be reset frequently.
Failed/Cancelled explorations will no longer have their snapshot data removed/reverted.

# Changed

Tick command (e.g., ticking a radio button) now takes a value as target name. Such that you can now target the section containing the radio target you're picking and data-drive it or use variables. If you want to simply click a checkbox, you can instead use the click command. Note that if you had tests using the tick command in the past, you may have to update the step to either use a click or use the new version of Tick.
Statistics and counts on the Dashboard and Execution Report are now based on test suites instead of test cases, focusing on the journeys tested with Virtuoso.
The performance of the execution page/report has been improved.
On assertion steps, Virtuoso will now always continue if a validation is no longer met, and Continue on failure determines if a step should continue if an unexpected error occurs. For example, assert "Element" equals "text value" will always continue if the text from "Element" does not match "text value", but will respect the Continue on failure option if "Element" does not exist. Note that Continue on failure is always enabled for assertion steps by default.
Reduced the impact of large explorations on executions.

# 0.14 - 2019-02-21

# Added

Cross-browser testing experimental (released only to staging): you can now pick a different browser to execute your tests with. highlight
Execution using a different resolution: using the advanced execution options, you can now pick a different resolution to execute your tests with. highlight
Max parallelism throttling support: When triggering executions, users can now specify a maximum parallelism limit via the Execute Advanced option of the goals (e.g., you can limit to max 1 test suite that can be executed at the same time on a goal execution; if you have two goals being executed each with 1 max test suite targeting the same application, Virtuoso will ensure that at max it is running 2 test suites at the time). highlight
Organization-wide scripts: You can now create a script once at the level of your organization, which you can use across different projects. highlight
Added ability to clone scripts from and to other projects in the script manager.
Tooltip to dashboard statistics graph.

# Fixed

Fixed input edition of inline scripts.
Fixed switching between inline and project/organization level scripts.
Clicking back on edit goal from the exploration page returns to the exploration page rather than the project's dashboard.
An instance where test cases containing one failed test step were marked as skipped instead of failed.
Test cases and suites copy paste feature now add each step in the correct order.
Snapshot history button on the exploration page now works correctly on Firefox.

# Changed

Significant improvements to the exploration graph with the ability to update in-place rather than refreshing. highlight
Command assert matches now supports Javascript-flavored regular expressions instead of Java-flavored regular expressions (e.g., assert "element" matches "/(?i)text/" becomes assert "element" matches "/text/i"). highlight
Improvements to performance of execution job submission.
Improvements to the performance of processing execution results.
Updated in-app notifications design.

# 0.13 - 2019-02-05

# Added

Exploration page:
- Clone Goal button on the exploration page enables you to clone the goal from its latest snapshot into another goal.
- Fork Goal button on the exploration page enables you to clone a goal at an older snapshot into another goal (you can use this to continue working on an older snapshot).
- More options menu () for quick actions on an exploration such as Fork a goal in a given snapshot, Edit goal, Explore again from scratch, etc.
Significant improvements to execute command (script execution):
- Change the script from properties
- Add script inputs using either variables or hard-coded values
- Add/edit scripts directly from properties panel
- Updated natural language syntax for Execute steps. See docs for more details.
Inline scripts with the Execute command: Now it is possible to write short inline scripts specific to a test case that are versioned on the snapshot (without having to use script manager).
All virtuoso pages now have titles according to the active page content.
Performance improvements on explorations to reduce the duration of the test generation phase.
Improvements to test step validation, when creating natural language tests. Invalid values will now be validated at the time of creating the step, rather than at the time of execution.
Ability to rollback (revert) individual goals: this works similar to Git, such that the older snapshot data will be committed as a new snapshot on the history, without re-writing history (Note that older snapshots will still remain visible, though you should avoid interacting with those. This is a limitation that will be resolved with Virtuoso's GA).

# Fixed

Navigate command targeting a new tab now presents that information explicitly without needing to open the test step properties.
Statistics on dashboard now updates correctly after goal cloning.
Graphs on the top of the exploration's performance panel should no longer be truncated in Firefox.
Virtuoso now generates tests for applications for which exploration finds only one page (root node of the graph).
Clicking on the invitation link when the invited user is already logged on will present the project shared instead of an error popup.
Fix an instance where the popup asking to show desktop notifications would trigger multiple times.
Fixed several bugs related to exploring further from suite, such that sometimes the graph would return empty.

# Changed

If the current session is not valid, Virtuoso suggests to return to the login screen or stay in the current page (further interaction with the page will repeat the warning, until the session is valid again by performing login in a different tab with the same user);
Changing password now presents an in-page warning informing that performing this action will invalidate all other open sessions.
Explorations that do not result in an application graph should no longer give an error, presenting an empty graph instead.
File upload using the Upload command now works better at using the file's original name and works better with more file hosting services/solutions (e.g., you can now use Google Drive to host your files, as long as you make the file URLs public). The file size limit has also been increased to 5MB.
When a snapshot has been committed, the exploration will always happen in a new snapshot (regardless of whether the exploration is a further-exploration or an exploration from scratch).
Improved the performance of the exploration outcome computation, when user views the data multiple times.
Exploration now honours subdomain switching across the same main domain (e.g., pages linked from uat-foo.example.com to uat-bar.example.com will be explored).
Virtuoso will now generate a test case for every edge on the journey path (the inconsistency between the first two steps being on first test case has been resolved).
Users can now explore further in a dirty snapshot (note that this comes with the caveat that if your further exploration is unsuccessful, any changes you may have made will be removed).

# 0.12 - 2019-01-22

# Added

Exploration Outcome (summary) panel, a data rich panel containing general information about the exploration, including: highlight
- Pages and test statistics;
- Overall resource request timing distribution;
- List of executions;
- Pages with resource request responding with 3xx, 4xx and 5xx HTTP codes;
- Pages with console warning and errors;
- Pages which resources loaded 20% and 40% slower than the average;
Global performance intelligence: When no page on the graph is selected, Virtuoso shows the overall performance results on the performance panel. highlight
Organization-level limit of the number of parallel explorations, which is currently set to 5. Launching more jobs than the limit in parallel will fail.
Dashboard sections now display their empty and loading states.
Enhanced goal management features on dashboard such as quick button to add new goals and ability to filter/re-order them.
Explorations/Executions can now be cancelled directly from the Dashboard by expanding them and clicking cancel.
Ability to navigate to a page in a new tab (navigate to "https://google.com" in new tab). This enables you to run parallel sessions on the browser without navigating away from your previous state on a page (e.g., jump to a temporary email provider) (see Known issues). highlight
Most-visited tab on the project manager, to help you find your most-common projects more easily.

# Fixed

Ability to explore further from suite or graph when the snapshot has been executed. Now, the previous snapshot will be automatically cloned before exploring further. highlight
Overflow and column width problems on Firefox on the Exploration Network panel.
Performance panel scroll now includes the whole content.
Ability to delete test steps from test cases generated during the exploration.
Project selection is now only possible via the dedicated project manager, instead of the project dropdown on dashboard.
Cloning a goal or project now correctly clones the related states as well. Note that cloning a goal only clones the latest snapshot of it.

# Changed

Security improvement: Users are logged out on all their active sessions after changing their password.
Style of console entries of Exploration Console panel are now more in line with a browser console window.
The execute button (play icon) on the exploration page now lets you execute the test suite you have open (or alternatively all test suites).
The execute button on the Execution page lets you re-execute the same execution, or you can select individual test suites to execute.

# 0.11 - 2019-01-08

# Added

Exploration page:
- Performance panel: displays information regarding network request timing performance for each state; highlight
- Added timing information on the network request details under the Timing tab (in the network requests panel, for each network request). highlight
Advanced step options can now be configured using the properties panel according to each command properties, for commands such as: mouse, key presses, cookies, switching iFrames and scroll. highlight

Added scroll to test step properties panel which had off-screen/unreachable content.
Instance where the document request was not highlighted on the exploration network panel.
Fixed an instance where the page elements highlight on snapshot diff page compare would render without height.

# Changed

General performance improvements (should be noticeable on dashboard with respect to loading times of the loading project data). highlight
Whole-app exploration and large explore-further requests will no longer be allowed. highlight
Loading animation while editing cases no longer blocks the content, displaying instead a loading icon on the step or case header. highlight
Assertion steps from now on will have Continue on failure enabled for them by default. highlight
Snapshot data used to plot the summary on the dashboard was reduced to focus on the more recent activity.
If a snapshot is not editable, the user will be prompt to create the editable version sooner when trying to make changes to tests and steps.

# 0.10 - 2018-12-19

# Added

Internal scheduling: The fairness of the allocating Virtuoso bots has been improved such that multiple users running explorations and executions would lead to all of them being executed at a slower rate rather than one large exploration blocking everyone else for hours. highlight experimental

- Execution job drop-down shows summary of passed, failed, and skipped tests.

# Fixed

The screenshot shown on an execution's layout panel now defaults to the last executed test step if no step is selected.
Fixed incomplete test step representations to present information closer to the natural language test step added.
Bug blocking users from changing empty step values.
After rollback to a specific snapshot, jobs from the discarded snapshots are no longer shown.
Fixed a problem blocking users creating before/after steps with variables.
Fixed some situations that would lead to incorrect test execution count.

  - Graph state and snapshot ratio;
  - Test counter and snapshot ratio;
  - Execution snapshot ratio.
Exploration:
- Graph with application unique states and first edge found:
  - Graph state mouse context menu option (on right click): Open page test suites, Open page in new tab and Explore from this page (replaced with Toggle page if already explored further);
  - Graph Toolbar: Graph depth level toggle slider, Zoom control with mouse scroll.
- Navigation steps/tests reflecting edges on the graph;
- Search page / states by title;
- Cancel stop exploration;
- Explore all further;
- Select pages to explore further - trigger popup: List leaf-states/pages (nodes on the graph with no descendents) for user selection;
- Drill down page to test suites: Add suite, execute, explore further;
- Page / state navigation toolbar (bottom right): Page screenshot, Navigation slider toggling page / states, zoom control and toolbar states (maximized, split and minimized);
- Drill down from test suites to test cases: add test case, order test case and delete test steps;
- Drill down test cases to test steps: add, order, delete and toggle properties of a test step (element screenshot, test data, step action, element selectors, add new selector).
Execution
- Browser selection (Chrome is the only option available);
- Stop Execution;
- Reports: Progress bar, Number of tests, Execution time, Parallelism gains, Statistics (number of tests passed, failed and skipped), Error List, Suite list (Status, Execution time and drill down to test steps with same elements).
