TestCentric 2.0.0-alpha5

As part of this release we had 22 issues closed.

This release includes major revisions to the UI. There is no longer a Test menu. Rather, all test execution is performed through the toolbar or the context menu. The toolbar now contains buttons for running all or selected tests, repeating the last run and running only failed tests.

Note: The selected (highlighted) test item in the tree is now referred to as the "Active" item. This is the item for which any detailed information is displayed, as in the properties tab, for example. If Checkboxes are enabled, the checked items are referred to as "Selected" for running. If they are disabled, or if no items are checked, the "Active" item is also considered as "Selected".

Reflecting changes in the TestCentric engine, there are no longer built-in agents for .NET 2.0 and .NET Core 2.1. These will be provided by separately installed extensions. The .NET 2.0 Pluggable Agent extension is already available and used in our tests. The .NET Core 2.1 agent is being developed.

Breaking Changes

• #842 Eliminate built-in .NET Core 2.1 agent
• #841 Eliminate built-in net20 agent

Features

• #881 Specify full- vs mini-gui on command line
• #877 Re-Implement Debugging of tests
• #870 Run Failed tests from previous runs
• #869 Rerun Last Test
• #245 Make XML display of tests and test results a popup window

Enhancements

• #872 Move RunSummary button next to progress bar
• #871 Reorganize "Group By" functionality in the UI
• #861 Disallow both ReloadOnChange and ReloadOnRun
• #836 Convert command-line processing to latest version of Mono.Options

• #853 test duration time is changing
• #852 Assembly Reload: "Reload before each test run" does not work

TestCentric 2.0.0-alpha1

The 2.0.0 release is the first major upgrade of the TestCentric Gui.
It includes a number of breaking changes as well as new features.

Significant Gui Changes

• The ProcessModel and DomainUsage menus have been eliminated.

• A new Select Agents menu allows the user to choose a non-default
  agent when more than one is available for a particular assembly.

Significant Engine Changes

• In-process execution of tests and the ProcessModel package setting
  are no longer supported. Each test assembly is now run in its own
  separate process.

• The DomainUsage package setting is no longer supported. The runner
  itself decides whether an AppDomain should be used when running
  on a particular platform.

• All test execution is now performed by agents, which are usually
  separate local processes. Agent selection may be automatic or
  user-specified using a package setting.

• It is now possible to create "pluggable agents" by use of a new
  engine extension point. Currently, this capability is limited to
  local process agents, but it is intended to be extended to other
  agent types in the future.

• Services are now initialized when they are first accessed through
  the service context rather than at startup.

• There is no longer a .NET Standard build of the engine.

• The metadata assembly is now a separate package, which is used
  by the engine.

• X86 builds of .Net Core agents are no longer provided, since
  they are not needed.

As part of this release we had 23 issues closed.

Breaking Changes

• #664 Replace AppDomain and Process with "Agent" from user perspective
• #656 Pluggable Agents
• #665 Eliminate ProcessModel setting
• #657 Eliminate DomainUsage option
• #444 Eliminate in process execution

Features

• #697 Agent Redesign
• #694 Remove x86 build of agent for .NET Core
• #693 Stop building engine for .NET Standard
• #689 Remove DomainManager as a service
• #684 Make metadata assembly a fully independent package
• #678 Create package for use by pluggable agents

Enhancements

• #715 Make dependencies of one service on another explicit
• #677 Update AboutBox for 2.0 release
• #666 Issue an error message when user provides an obsolete project setting. Ignore in project files.

Bugs

• #719 Crashing Testcentric on trying to change Process Model to X86
• #707 ResultHelper.Aggregate doesn't count warnings

Build

• #729 Allow creation of draft and production GitHub releases for pre-release versions
• #725 Upgrade NUnit framework to 3.12
• #716 Provide test doubles for all services needed for testing.
• #700 Use the GUI to run its own tests

TestCentric 1.6.1

The main change in this release is that the InProcess option is disabled when the loaded tests cannot all run in the Gui process under the .NET Framework 4.x and would otherwise cause an error.

This is intended to be the last release in the TestCentric 1.x series. The next release, version 2.0, will contain breaking changes including the elimination of the InProcess option as well as of all DomainUsage options. In future, the use of AppDomains in platforms that support them will be treated as an implementation detail outside the control of the user.

Enhancement

• 661 InProcess menu item should be disabled if any .net core tests are loaded.

Refactor

• 658 Restructure or rewrite runtime framework detection code
