Enhancements to existing features

Copy & Paste and Paste with Variation for Test Modules: Now when you copy a Test Module and use paste or paste with variation, the picture checks tab is copied too. This means you can run actions related to local picture checks without any extra steps.

New features

Keep the Browser Open: From now on Test Architect will support keeping the browser open after a test has been executed in Generic Webdriver (GWD) mode. There are two methods to do so:
- Setting a new JSON key named cleanup.
- In Start-up settings.

Enhancements to existing features

Support for Chrome 77 and Firefox 69: Now you can run automated tests for web pages displayed in the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox.

While uploading results to TFS when successfully authenticating with a local domain using RESTAPI mode, you may experience inconsistencies.
Hold key and release key may not work as expected when using the key combination alt + f4
Due to changes in the WebDriver coordinate calculation algorithm, there may be a slight deviation of coordinates in relevant built-in actions with Generic Web Driver Mode (GWD) on Chrome 75. For precision, please re-calculate your positions and coordinates.

Note:

These changes do not effect non-GWD mode.
