Details

Release 0.9.92 is now available and contains the following enhancements:

Improved requirements reporting

The Requirements reporting tab has been enhanced to show test results at a requirements level. This provides an overall view of the progress of the project by making it easier to view not only what stories have been implemented, but also features and capabilities that remain to be done. Here's a screenshot.

You can read more about Thucydides' approach to requirements reporting in this excellent blog post - Functional Test Coverage - Taking BDD Reporting To The Next Level

Blurring screenshots (Thucydides-116)

For security/privacy reasons, it may be required to blur sensitive screenshots in Thucydides reports. This is now possible by annotating the test methods or steps with the annotation @BlurScreenshots. When defined on a test, all screenshots for that test will be blurred. When defined on a step, only the screenshot for that step will be blurred. @BlurredScreenshot takes a string parameter with values LIGHT, MEDIUM or HEAVY to indicate the amount of blurring. For example,

[sourcecode language="java"]
 @Test
 @BlurScreenshots("HEAVY")
 public void looking_up_the_definition_of_pineapple_should_display_the_corresponding_article() {
     endUser.is_the_home_page();
     endUser.looks_for("pineapple");
     endUser.should_see_definition_containing_words("A thorny fruit");
 }
[/sourcecode]

This feature is currently available for junit stories but we'll extend it shortly to jbehave and easyb.

Other enhancements and bug fixes

• Uninstantiated page objects in step libraries are now automatically instantiated.
• Fixed a bug that caused tests to wait unnecessarily in subsequent steps after a step had failed.
• A custom requirements tag provider, if specified, will be given preference over the default file system based requirements provider.
