Create and Use Pipeline Level Parameters for workflows

Opsera introduces a capability that elevates the security and customization of parameter handling within your Pipeline workflows. Users can create and manage pipeline-level parameters tailored specifically to the unique needs of each individual pipeline. Define parameters that are relevant solely to your designated pipelines.

This new functionality complements our existing global parameters rather than replacing them. You have the flexibility to choose between globally defined parameters applicable across multiple pipelines and locally defined parameters specific to each pipeline.

Capability in TOSCA Testing Integration

The TOSCA integration configuration now includes the following capabilities, giving customers greater flexibility over which test cases appear in final reports and how overall test execution outcomes are evaluated.

• The "Exclude Certain Failure Test Cases" setting has been updated to ensure that any test cases included in this field are fully disregarded during the reporting process. Whether these test cases pass or fail, they will not appear in any generated reports.

• The “Maximum Allowed Threshold for Failed Test Cases” now counts only the failed test cases, treating them independently from those that have been excluded.

APIs for Users and Group Management Operations

• User management APIs: The User Management APIs have been introduced, allowing for creation and management of user groups within Opsera platform. The public API supports a comprehensive set of functionalities, including the creation and deletion of users, as well as the ability to search for users by email or ID. Additionally, it allows for the retrieval of a list of active users based on specific search criteria, which can include either email addresses or user ID.

• Group Membership API: The Group Membership API provides a set of functionalities to manage user groups effectively. This API allows for the creation, deletion, and management of user groups within an application.This API enhances user management capabilities by providing essential tools for maintaining group structures within applications.

Introducing Neoload Integration for Opsera Workflows

Opsera supports Neoload integration into Pipelines to emphasize collaboration between development and operations teams. Users can perform automation of load testing processes to identify performance bottlenecks early in the development cycle. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of performance issues in your production environments.

Additional Capabilities

• The report generated during a dry run for SCM to SCM migration includes detailed counts for commits, branches, tags, pull requests (PRs), and webhooks associated with each repository. This provides users with a more comprehensive overview of their repositories during the migration process.

• Opsera has extended the capability of the dynamic settings to support Pipeline workflows for the Job engine. Dynamic settings allows users to modify values such as branch and parameters, within a Pipeline at runtime dynamically without the need for manual editing of the configuration.

The dashboard includes charts that effectively track violations categorized by severity and frequency, for various categories. The trends for new issues and resolved ones are also provided for users.

Capability to schedule Salesforce quick deploy tasks

Users can now schedule quick deploy test tasks to run at a specified date and time. By configuring the execution settings, the task will be executed once at the designated scheduled moment. To facilitate the scheduling process, users can also specify their Salesforce deploy key, to ensure that the scheduled task is executed with the correct parameters and security measures in place.

Streamlined Pull Request Management through Branch Reuse

When performing a merge sync between Salesforce and Git, and between Git repositories, a capability is added to review and update existing pull requests (PRs). This allows developers to modify open PRs by pushing new commits directly to the branch associated with the PR.

The comments related to the modified PR will be available for review in the diff screen. By enabling updates to existing PRs during the merge sync process, the need to create new pull requests for modifications has been eliminated. This change simplifies the process for developers, as they no longer need to create additional PRs for updates or corrections.
