We are pleased to announce the release of Klaros-Testmanagement version 4.5.5.

This is a minor release that fixes a regression bug introduced with version 4.5.4 that prevents updating jobs. The 4.5.x release includes 5 new features as well as 74 bugfixes and improvements over 4.4.x.

Some of the highlights are:

Dependency Criteria for Jobs

It is now possible to define dependencies between jobs in Klaros-Testmanagement, allowing to specify under which conditions a test is allowed to be executed.

Restricted Job Status Manipulation

A new option restricts the ability to change the status of a job to managers (and administrators) only.

Reference Test Data in Binary Attachments

Another major feature is the support for specifying test data outside of a test specification which is resolved at runtime for custom parameters and attached Excel sheets.

More E-Mail Notifications

E-Mail notifications can now be sent if a test execution fails or if a job dependency has been resolved.

Assign Jobs to Iterations

Jobs can now be assigned to iterations.
