QA Sphere 25W32 Release

This release brings reusable steps, AI rule management, and rich-editing upgrades — all built to make your QA workflow faster, clearer, and more consistent.

New Features​

  • New Resources Section A single place to manage shared assets across a project: Shared Steps, Test Run Configurations, Requirements, Tags, and AI Rules — all centralized for consistency.

  • Shared Steps Create reusable step groups and insert them into multiple test cases. Edit a shared step once — it updates everywhere. Manage them from Resources or directly while editing a test case. Need a one-off? Detach to customize locally.

  • AI Rules in Resources & AI Forms Define reusable AI rules once and apply them when generating test cases or issues with AI for more consistent outputs.

  • See What Changed in Test Case Edits The revision dialog now highlights added and removed text when comparing versions. For complex content (images, tables), we show the updated block with a note if a diff isn’t available.

  • Bulk Update for Custom Fields Update dropdown-type custom fields across many test cases at once. A new review modal ensures only selected values are changed.

Fixes​

This release also includes important fixes:

  • Corrected folder path ordering in Search results to match the test case page hierarchy.
  • Restored preview for the latest test case edit in history. View changes now appears for the newest revision and is hidden only for the initial creation when it’s the sole entry.
  • Restored bold styling for section titles (e.g., Preconditions) in generated JIRA issues.
