This release includes the following enhancements:
Release date: May 15, 2024
Important Notes Regarding DTP
- DTP or License Server 2024.1 is required for licensing SOAtest, Virtualize, and/or CTP 2024.1. You must upgrade to DTP or License Server 2024.1 before upgrading to SOAtest, Virtualize, or CTP 2024.1 in order to license the products successfully.
- Connections to DTP and License Server must be over HTTPS. HTTP is no longer supported.
Collection of code coverage in distributed microservices architectures has been enhanced in the following ways:
Support for Coverage Collection for Multiple Parallel Users
You can now enable multiuser coverage for multiple users who are simultaneously accessing the same web application without mixing the coverage data they collect.
Report Microservice Test and Coverage Data to a Single DTP Project
You can now configure all your CTP components to publish to the same DTP project, making it easier to review coverage for all microservices in one combined view.Now you have two options when using CTPto orchestrate coverage collection for distributed microservices: You can configure the components in your environment to publish coverage and test results to either a single project, allowing you to see the data for multiple microservices in an aggregate-level view, or to multiple projects in order to see the data split up by microservice.
Improved Workflows for Coverage Agents in Kubernetes
CTP users will now find it easier to deploy coverage agents in Kubernetes with detailed documentation and helpful examples.
Test scenario creation from OpenAPI definitions using OpenAI or Azure OpenAI in SOAtest has been enhanced to automatically parameterize dynamic data returned from previous API responses in the scenario.
Test Impact Analysis capabilities have been improved to more precisely calculate impacted tests while identifying a smaller subset of them that sufficiently tests the changes you have made to your Application Under Test.
The Web Accessibility Scan has been enhanced to include support for WCAG 2.2. In addition, the Web Accessibility Scan now generates a new accessibility section in your reports. This new section collects and categorizes your accessibility issues in their own section, displayed in an easy-to-read, color-coded table with drilldowns to detailed information and with links to WCAG guidelines. See Adding a Web Accessibility Scan for more information.
In addition to copying entire data repositories in the Data Repository view, you can now copy individual data sets, including options to merge, overwrite, update, or replace existing data. See Copying and Pasting Repository Data for more information.
Added several capabilities to make it easier for SOAtest and Virtualize users to find and fix broken parameterizations.SeeTroubleshooting Parameterizations for more information.
You can now chain tools to a Message Responder's incoming request before correlation, allowing you to do things like execute a Data Bank tool before responder correlation in order to use a data banked request value as part of a custom responder correlation.Chaining Tools to the Responder's Incoming Request or Outgoing Response
Event and Statistics monitoring can now be done over WebSockets, reducing the number of ports required for forwarding in container environments and incurring alow performance cost when monitoring assets that are not under load.
Both the Asynchronous Socket Transport and Listener now support testing and virtualizing network services that use UDP.
- Unrecognized CLI arguments will now cause an error. In previous versions, unrecognized arguments were ignored, allowing some tests to pass despite them. These tests will now fail, and their unrecognized arguments will need to be resolved.
- Added support for Java 17. SOAtest and Virtualize now ship with Java 17.
Support for Java 11 is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
- Added SOAtest static analysis support for WCAG 2.2.
- Load Test monitors now support Tomcat 10. Load Test monitor support for Tomcat 7.x and 8.x has ended.
- Load Test monitors now support WildFly. Load Test monitor support for JBoss monitorshas ended.
- Scripting support for Nashorn updated to OpenJDK Nashorn. Scripts saved in earlier versions of SOAtest and Virtualize with the Oracle Nashorn engine will now run in the new OpenJDK Nashorn engine. SeeExtensibility and Scripting Basics for more information.
- Support for Oracle in CTP:
- Added support for Oracle 23c.
- Ended support for Oracle 12c.
- Deprecated support for Oracle 18c and 21c.
- Added support for Oracle database RAC by specifying a JDBC URL instead of single host and port
- Minimum supported Eclipse is now 2022-03 (4.23).
You can now enable user access logs for your SOAtest/Virtualize server with a small configuration change to your logging XML file. SeeServer Configuration for more information. Note that this is enabled by default in the SOAtest and Virtualize Server WAR deployment.
- Authentication can now be enabled for connecting to a standalone License Server if it is configured to require authentication. SeeLicensingandLicense Settingsfor more information.
- You can now specify custom parameters to be added to the report.xml header using the
report.xml.param{n}.key=
andreport.xml.param{n}.value=
settings.. SeeReport Settings for more information.
- MongoDB users can now execute a query with a sort and limit in order to have the MongoDB server sort and limit results on the server side. See MongoDB Tool 1.4.
- Virtualize now requires the Admin role for setting licensing or to enable event monitoring and hit statistics. Previously users with the System Role were able to configure these.
- Ended support for Apache Tomcat 8.5. Tomcat 9 is required.
- Ended support for the ExamXML diff engine in the Diff Tool.
- Ended support for the deprecated "SOAP with Attachments" (SwA) specification. MIME or DIME attachments can no longer be configured independent of the SOAP body. SOAP messages with MIME attachments must be sent as MTOM.
- Ended support for emulation for the XML Signer, XML Encryption, and XML Signature Verifier tools.
- Removed the ability to set a custom return message for certain responders. Custom return codes still available.
- WS-I Basic Profile 1.1 has been removed from the WS-I tool.
- Addressed Apache CXF (CVE-2024-32007), Apache Tomcat (CVE-2024-34750), dnsjava (CVE-2024-25638) and OpenJDK Java (CVE-2024-21131, CVE-2024-21138, CVE-2024-21140, CVE-2024-21145, CVE-2024-21147) security vulnerabilities in version 2024.1.2.
