What's New

This section describes the enhancements implemented in versions 24.2 - 26.3.

Note: The Help Centers for PulseUno versions 24.2 through 26.3 were streamlined into a single Help Center. Any version-specific features are indicated where relevant.

What's new in 26.3

The following enhancement was introduced in 26.3.

CI & Code

OpenText™ Core Software Delivery Platform (SDP) is an end-to-end cloud-based software delivery platform. It provides a modular, cloud-based platform that powers the entire value stream delivery and software product lifecycle, from strategy to delivery, powered by AI.

PulseUno is now fully integrated with the SDP platform, as a new CI & Code module. The CI & Code module provides integrated test execution and test storage within the SDP platform removing the dependency to integrate external tools. UFT tests can be stored directly into the CI & Code repository and be automatically imported into the platform. Test suites can be executed on demand or scheduled, and the test results are securely stored in the platform.

This help center describes working with PulseUno, but the concepts and procedures you will find here are all equally applicable for CI & Code.

Note: In the SDP test runner configuration, use JUnit (or another non-UFT framework) for the test runner while still selecting your PulseUno CI server and UFT test runner chain job.
