What’s New in Release 1.6?

1. Coverage View

The Coverage view introduces a highly visual and intuitive way to analyze requirements coverage within Azure DevOps. With this feature, you can:

• Coverage table: Visualize multi-level relationships between work items, such as requirements, test cases, and development tasks in one view. Find uncovered requirements or test cases at a glance and create new work items directly from the table.
• Save Views: Save and access saved configurations effortlessly or create a new view in few clicks.
• Streamlined Configuration: Users can configure fields, filters, and settings to tailor the view to their specific needs, ensuring flexibility and usability across projects.
• Backed by Azure DevOps relationships: The Coverage view leverages Azure DevOps relationships to provide accurate and up-to-date coverage data. No reinvention of the wheel, just seamless integration with your existing data.

This new feature is tailored to assist teams in tracking requirements against their corresponding test cases, development tasks, or other work items, ensuring no gaps in implementation or testing.

2. Enhanced Baseline Comparison

Building on easeRequirements’ core capabilities, Release 1.6 delivers several enhancements to baseline comparison:

• Display Field Configuration:
  • A new Fields button allows users to select which fields are visible during baseline comparison.
  • Configurations are saved per project and user, ensuring a personalized experience.
• Quick Filters for Efficient Analysis:
  • The addition of Only Changes, Only Left, and Only Right buttons simplifies identifying differences between baselines.
  • These filters enable users to focus on changes, unique items in one baseline, or unmatched items with ease.
• Baseline Selection:
  • Users can now select baselines via a combo box, switching from baselines without the need to navigate back to the baseline list.

3. Improved Tree View Functionality

Ease of navigation and clarity in requirements hierarchy has been improved:

• Automatic Folder Numbering:
  • Folders now adopt numbering, similar to easeRequirements for Jira, making it easier to identify their hierarchy in the tree view.
  • The numbering dynamically adjusts based on folder rearrangements.

4. Enhancements on the Revision Comparison

Users can now copy values for fields such as summary and description from any revision to the current revision. Key functionalities include:

• Visual Indicators: An arrow icon indicates fields that can be copied.
• Real-Time Updates: Copied fields automatically update across all views, including the tree, detail, and tabular views.

Why the Coverage Table View Matters

The Coverage Table view is a game-changer for teams striving to meet compliance and quality goals. By offering a centralized way to view, analyze, and address coverage gaps, teams can ensure:

• Improved Traceability: Easily map requirements to test cases, code, or other artifacts.
• Compliance: Simplify audits with clear and accessible coverage data.
• Quality Assurance: Quickly identify and resolve gaps in test or implementation coverage.
