Features Included in the March 28, 2018 Release
Regional Release Schedule
Functionality Enhancements
“As a user of Plutora, I don’t want to be emailed twenty times if a user makes twenty updates in a TEBR or Release in under a minute. I just want a single email with all of the user’s changes.”
Triggered Email Enhancement
- Previously, when a user updated Entities, such as TEBRs or Releases, each updated field could potentially result in a notification email:
- For example, associating 16 Environments with a TEBR resulted in 16 emails.
- Now, triggered emails are sent one minute after a user’s update for all Entities:
- If a user makes multiple updates, with each update being less than a minute after the previous update, those updates will appear in a single notification email one minute after the final update has been made.
- For example, associating 16 Environments with a TEBR will now only result in one email.
“As a Release Manager, I want the Change grid to function like Microsoft Excel, so I can click on custom fields and edit them directly.”
Change Grid Edit Mode
- Previously, users had to open and edit a Change in order to edit Change Custom Fields.
- Now, users can click the cell of a Change Custom Fields column and edit it directly in the Change grid.
“As an Environment Manager, I want to update and add Systems Stakeholders. Now I can do both using the API.”
API Enhancements
- Previously, Plutora API only had GET /systems/{id}/stakeholders.
- Now, the following API enhancements have been added:
- POST /systems/{id}/stakeholders
- PUT /systems/{id}/stakeholders/{userId}
“As an Environment Manager, I want to save time, maximize Environment availability, and make it easier for approvers, by booking multiple Environments for different times on the same booking request.”
TEBR Enhancement
- Previously, Environment bookings made on a TEBR Without A Release had to be of the same duration as the TEBR.
- Now, users can book multiple Environments with different durations on one TEBR without a Release and set whether those bookings can be booked inside or outside the TEBR’s start and end dates.
“As a QA Manager in the United States, I want dates to be formatted MM/DD/YYYY.”
Date Localization
- Previously, dates in Plutora Test were formatted DD/MM/YYYY.
- Now, there are three choices of date format:
- MM/DD/YYYY: Month/Day/Year – USA date format.
- DD/MM/YYYY: Day/Month/Year – UK, India, Latin America, Oceania date format.
- YYYY/MM/DD: Year/Month/Day – ISO 8601 date format.
- Setting the date format in Plutora Test now sets it for Plutora and vice versa.
