I have not used QATRAQ for a while now. Seeing that there's a version 7 to play with now what are the differences to the previous release?

Hi NJK,

QaTraq version 7.0.0 contains a number of new enhancements over the previous 6.10.2 release. Here's summary of these new features and improvements are listed below (taken from the release notes).

Test Projects The projects feature allows you to create independent QaTraq databases for which you can assign different users different access permissions. The default QaTraq project is accessible to all users (although you can still assign roles with privileges restricting what individual users can do within the default projects). New projects created in QaTraq can be setup to restrict or allow users access to that project. Within each project you can assign roles with privileges restricting what individual users can do and access.

This new feature allows you to run completely independent projects within QaTraq Professional where data can be segregated to different user groups. Ideal in environments where perhaps different teams do not want visibility of other projects perhaps because of data sensitivity or even just to aid clarity within a project.

Further details about using the new project feature can be found in the user guide: http://www.testmanagement.com/user_stage_7.html

Screen Width With the release of version 7.0.0 we now provide you with the capability to adjust the browser screen width of the QaTraq Professional application. Previously restricted to just 600px to fit most screen and browser configurations the default screen width has now been changed to 960px to reflect the fact that most users are now running with higher resolution screens.

For users wishing to configure QaTraq Professional to fit their own requirements the following setting can be modified in the qatraq/lib/constants.inc file…

// set the screen width define("QATRAQ_SCREEN_WIDTH", 960);

Whilst we recommend leaving this setting to 960, which will accommodate most screen resolutions, modifying this value in the constants file does allow you the flexibility to configure as required.


Hope this helps.

Hi Allan,

I was wondering how I can change the default project? I know I can access other projects directly by adding the "p=<projectid>" parameter in each URL, but this gets a bit annoying. Example: I want to set a link from outside qatraq to a specific test case that is not in the defaut project, but in another project ("project2", having id 19).
Example URL: http://qatraq.url/test_cases_view_content.php?id=365 (note that this URL does NOT contain the p parameter (it is stored in the php session).
When I log out of qatraq and try to open the above URL, I see an error message telling me "Warning - no rights", because in the default project, this Testcase does not exist.
When I open http://qatraq.url/test_cases_view_content.php?p=19&id=365, I can access the correct test case as intended.

Is there any way around adding the p paremeter all the time to achieve this?

Best regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

I'm afraid there's no other way but to use the p parameter.

Anyway, we'll be happy to update you once we have another way of doing this in the future.

Hi Allan,

np, we found a way that helps a lot: we use an Apache Rewrite Rule:

RewriteRule ^login.php$ login.php?p=10 [QSA,L]

This even works with deeplinks to a specific Testcase, so it's just fine for us.

Best,
Jan
