What's new in February 2017?

Today we have released new enhancements, features and did some general stability improvements that include bug fixes across a few areas of the platform.

Updated components

The following components contain updates on this release.

New features

Skip actions from data sets

Users are now able to skip entire user actions depending from the data set parameter value. This is yet another addition to help users to data-drive business flows based on dynamic data.

Password encryption

We have incorporated data encryption to protect sensitive information such as user passwords on applications under test. For the web protocol, passwords are automatically encrypted during the recording process. As for the SAP GUI protocol, the password encryption should be done manually but using a simple command on the user's computer using the QFPCli.exe application. To generate an encrypted password, check this guide.
