AI features
Starting with this version, we plan to add AI features actively to improve productivity when working with project artifacts, texts, and so on. AI features require a configured integration with AI services (Administration — Settings — Application). You can use free models if you have the required hardware, or connect paid models from Russian vendors. Installing the required components is described in the instructions for software deployment.
- An MCP server was developed for connecting to AI agents (for example, Cursor). It lets you use ALM data when running prompts, and also create new artifacts and comments, search for artifacts similar in meaning to a given text, and so on, learn more...
- Search for artifacts that are similar in meaning was added to the REST API (the like parameter). The description is in the Developer Guide.
- A new REST API endpoint was also added. It selects various project artifacts that are similar in meaning to a given text, learn more...
Basic controls
- Saved filters are a new tool for storing and reusing typical search queries (complex queries). You can apply them in various views (lists, boards, charts), when creating traces and links in the artifact search window, and so on, learn more...
- Favorites and recently viewed is a widget for picking artifacts so you can quickly create a link (trace) to them. Recently viewed lets you return quickly to artifacts you viewed earlier, learn more...
Managing project artifacts
- Files attached to a document can be exported as part of the document. When exporting, set the option "Export together with attached files".
- The "Name" field of a Requirement can be made optional and left empty. The system then uses data from the "Text" field instead of the name. When importing a document from an external format, you can use the option "Requirements are contained in paragraphs". During import the system creates Requirements without titles, and the paragraph text is copied into the Requirement "Text".
- A context menu item was added for quickly creating an analogue (copy) of an artifact. For example, if you need to split a story or a Task into parts, you can quickly create a copy and edit its data.
- Fields that display links (traces) now include an "edit" item. It opens the list view of traces so you can delete them selectively or in bulk, which simplifies work with traces.
Managing Tasks, resources, and projects
- There is an additional way to specify employee workload: set the planned Start date and End date of Tasks or enhancements. If effort is not specified, set the planned start date and completion date of the work on the Task, that is, its duration. From the Task duration, the system calculates the employee's workload for the given time interval.
Organizing technical support
- An alternative view of self-help articles (knowledge base) was added in the "Documentation" section, as a tree for displaying several and/or large knowledge bases (with a deep nesting level), learn more...
- Added an option, which can be turned off, to download articles from the technical support site in PDF, learn more...
- On the technical support site you can now choose the Request type, so the Description field is filled automatically from the default template, learn more...
Process automation
- The "Filter for display" parameter of a custom action sets a search query that is applied to the artifact for which the context menu is built. If the query is set and succeeds, the custom action is added to the context menu. If the query does not succeed, the action is not in the menu. Use this to show a custom action in the artifact context menu only under certain conditions. For example, the custom action "Run" applies only to an automated scenario. Or the action "Retest" applies only to an automated test, not to a test recorded as a result of manual testing.
- A tag can now be added as the result of an automatic action.
Configuration options
- You can configure a dependency between fields so that the list of dropdown values from a lookup depends on a value selected earlier in another field on the form. This dependency is set through a Restriction on a system field or a custom attribute. You can also control field visibility and whether a field is required, based on the values of other fields on the form, learn more...
- Mathematical functions can now be used in a calculated field formula, learn more...
