Rapise 5.4 - Rewriting its Support for Firefox 57

November 8, 2017

As we wrote back in August, Firefox has completely changed its plugin architecture in the soon to be released Firefox 57.

However one of the benefits of a commercial tool like Rapise is that we provide support, including updating our plugins when necessary.

August 31, 2017

We heard from one of our customers recently that due to breaking changes in the Firefox plugin model, Selenium IDE will no longer work. This somewhat sad news took us by surprise since we didn’t realize that Selenium IDE had not been migrated to the new WebExtensions plugin architecture. Hopefully, that will happen, but we have some good news in the meantime!

SpiraTest and RemoteLaunch already provide a solution.

Preview of SpiraTest v5.2 - Revamped User Interface for Incidents

April 10, 2017

We're very excited about the next version of SpiraTest (also SpiraPlan and SpiraTeam) coming out on April 26th. It features a lot of enhancements which will be the subject of future blog posts. However one big area is the redesign of the Incidents pages (both the one that displays the list of incidents and the one that displays a single incident when you click on it).

This is a bug.  But it is not really a good indicator of what is happening unless we have an agreed upon lexicon, and even then, staff new to the process would require training. Read More
