aqua AI Copilot: Turbocharged Text Editing

Useful when:

• You want to reduce the time and effort spent on refining the text

• You need to maintain a consistent tone and language across your documentation

• You have run out of ideas or looking for some inspiration

• You want to improve the overall quality of your content, fine-tune sentences, improve clarity, and suggest alternative phrasings, making your text more engaging and effective

• You lack some technical background and need assistance in creating polished content across various contexts

Guide:

Add some text or open an existing item that already has some content, then select a sentence or a paragraph you want to modify.

As soon as the text is selected, the AI Copilot icon will appear next to it.

Then, click on the icon. You’ll see a dialogue where you can put your custom prompt for AI Copilot or choose one of the pre-selected options.

Within a few seconds you’ll receive the improved text. You can either replace the old text  or add the new one below for further comparison or adjustments to both later.

It’s also possible to regenerate the text to get better results or provide some custom instructions if the result doesn’t fit your expectations.

Note: AI Copilot currently works with English text only, but in the upcoming release we will add support of the German language too.

Navigate to the ‘Reports’ page and either select the report you want to modify or create a new one.

Then, at the ‘Edit properties’ step, select when you want the Jira issue to be loaded

You can also reference a link to the Jira issue. To do so, click on the added label and once the expression sidebar opens, click on the 3-dot menu next to the ‘Navigation URL’ field.

Add your base Jira URL to the issues with apostrophes before and after the URL.  Then, add plus and navigate to the ‘Fields’ section, select ‘JiraRelatedIssues’ and doubleclick on ‘TargetId’, and save the report.

Once you generate the report, there will be a link to the Jira issue that is linked with your aqua test case or any other item you referenced in the report. 

If you want to include multiple Jira issues, click on the ‘DetailReport [itemtype] section when creating the report.

On the ‘Properties’ sidebar under the ‘Actions’ group, click on the ‘Report Band’.

Once you do that, the new block will be added to the layout. 

For ‘Data Source’, select the ‘Data’ property; for ‘Data Member’, select the ‘Related Jira issues‘ property.

Test Execution: Your Choice, Your Pace

Useful when:

• You want to resume an incomplete test and pick up right where you left off, ensuring that the effort already invested in the test is not wasted

• You want to ensure that there are no unfinished text executions and user don’t populate unnecessary runs

Guide:

From now on, aqua will automatically prompt you once there is a previous unfinished test execution.

Just press the ‘New Run’ button and you’ll see the pop up. Select ‘Continue’ if you want to resume the previous run. In case you want to start a new one, just click ‘New run’

Please note: aqua will show you this pop up only if the last test execution is not completed.  It won’t be shown in case you have old recorded uncompleted test executions.

Dashboard Bliss: Fresh Look, Effortless Management

Benefits:

• Everything you need is thoughtfully organized in header, sidebar and dropdowns, making it a breeze to find and use.

Select the type of the chart you want to create and connect the data to display afterwards.

All main options are logically grouped at the header and easily accessible for you whenever you need to update the title, change the size of the chart, share it or copy and add to another dashboard.

With the next release we will introduce the new look and feel of the charts, so stay tuned for the updates.
