Product Updates

What's New

New features and improvements shipped to TestCollab.

Feature

Release Readiness Dashboard & Defect Status Sync

A live GO/NO-GO dashboard for every release, plus automatic defect status sync from your issue manager.

Release readiness dashboard showing GO verdict, pass rate, open defects, evidence coverage, and release comparison
Two new capabilities for release management:

- Release readiness dashboard — Every release now has a readiness page showing a computed GO/NO-GO verdict based on configurable thresholds. See pass rate, open defect count, evidence coverage, execution progress, coverage breakdowns by suite/environment/configuration, and a comparison against the previous release — all computed live from your test plan data
- Defect status sync — Defect statuses now sync automatically from your connected issue manager (Jira, GitLab, Azure DevOps, GitHub, ClickUp). When a bug moves to Resolved or Closed in your tracker, the status updates in TestCollab and the release readiness verdict recalculates immediately
- Defects filtered by release — Click "View All Defects" from the readiness dashboard to jump to the defects page pre-filtered to that release. A banner shows the active filter and can be cleared with one click

Feature

External Email Notifications, ClickUp Integration & More

Notify external stakeholders via email without adding seats, file bugs to ClickUp, exclude test cases per config, and reassign reviewers.

This release brings several new capabilities:

- External email notifications — Add up to 10 external email addresses per project to automatically receive test plan status updates when a plan finishes, is delayed, or approaches its deadline. Recipients get a summary with a public link to drill into details — no account or paid seat required. Read the announcement →
- ClickUp integration — ClickUp is now available as a bug tracker alongside Jira, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and GitHub. File defects directly from failed test executions with streamlined field mapping
- Config-level test case exclusion — Remove individual test cases from specific configurations in a test plan. Execution counts and progress stats automatically adjust per configuration
- Reassign test case reviewer — Change the assigned reviewer on a pending review. Both the old and new reviewer are notified, and the change is logged in the review trail

Failed Click Detection

QA Copilot now detects when a click has no effect, preventing false-positive test results.

Pixel-diff comparison showing no-op interaction detection
QA Copilot's AI test engine received several core improvements:

- No-op interaction detection - Uses pixel-diff comparison to detect when a click or action has no visual effect on the page. When no change is detected, assertion retries are disabled, preventing the AI from "self-healing" into a false positive
- Smarter step boundaries - The AI reasoning engine now looks ahead at the next test step to determine whether to perform additional actions (e.g., clicking submit) or stop. This prevents both under-execution and over-execution of test steps
- Improved element confidence - When an instruction references an element by name but no matching element exists in the HTML, the AI now correctly returns low confidence instead of guessing, allowing visual fallback strategies to take over
- Negative test case support - The evaluation framework now supports expected-fail test cases, making it easier to validate that the engine correctly catches real bugs

Improvement

QA Copilot Training Fixes

Improved AI test generation accuracy for complex UI patterns like row-scoped dropdowns and list interactions.

QA Copilot now handles complex UI patterns more reliably:

- List and table interactions - Correctly targets elements within specific rows, such as clicking a dropdown next to a particular user's email
- Smarter step completion - The AI now finishes each test step precisely as described without performing extra unintended actions
- Better page understanding - Improved ability to identify the right interactive elements on dense, content-heavy pages

Feature

Screen Recording for Test Execution

Record your screen while executing tests to capture visual evidence of bugs and test results.

Screen recording indicator on test execution interface
You can now record your screen during test plan execution. Recordings are automatically saved as attachments to each executed test case.

- Enable per project in Project Settings with a simple toggle
- Optional audio capture for narrating your test steps
- Auto-transitions - recording seamlessly moves to the next test case as you navigate
- Recordings are saved as WebM files and attached to the executed test case for easy review

MCP Server for AI-Assisted Test Management

Connect AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to TestCollab via the Model Context Protocol. Create, query, and update test cases without leaving your IDE.

AI assistant conversation showing test case operations via MCP
We've released an open-source MCP Server that lets AI assistants manage test cases directly. The server supports:

- list_test_cases – Query test cases with filtering, sorting, and pagination
- create_test_case – Create test cases with steps, custom fields, and tags
- update_test_case – Update existing test cases

Works with any MCP-compatible client including Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and OpenAI Codex. Available as a hosted endpoint or self-hosted via GitHub.
