What's new

This topic describes the new features available in the Functional Testing module in version 26.4.

Design

The Design module includes the following features and enhancements.

Area Enhancement
Evaluate GenAI response

Evaluate a GenAI response displayed in the visible area of your application without storing the response in a parameter.

For details, see Evaluate GenAI responses.
Smart If steps

In Smart If steps, you can use plain text to describe conditions that branch your script. You can check anything about the value of an object or parameter, or the current screen of the application.
Installation

The minimum supported version of the Node.js prerequisite is now 22.22.0.

Model-Based Testing and Execution

The Model-Based Testing (MBT) and Execution modules include the following enhancements.

Area Enhancement
Saving Autonomous Tester's suggested guidelines

Autonomous test reports can surface additional guidelines derived from knowledge sources and provide an option to add them to your tests.

Previously limited to manual tests, this capability is now available for Gherkin and MBT tests as well.

For details, see Leveraging knowledge sources.
Run session recording

In Autonomous Tester run result reports created from now on, each step in the report will specify where in the screen recording this step starts.

This enables you to quickly find the step that interests you within the full-length recording.

For details, see Run session recordings.
MCP Server

When you connect an AI client or agent to the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform MCP server, you can now query data related to MBT and Execution. You can ask about test coverage, release stability, model completeness, and more.

For details, see Query your data using MCP.
