QA Sphere 26W02 Release

This release brings enhanced security controls for enterprise teams, custom webhook payloads, and expanded API capabilities for automation workflows.

New Features​

  • Custom webhook payload support

    You can configure custom webhook payloads from Integrations → Webhooks, allowing dynamic data to be sent to external systems. See the Webhooks documentation for setup details.

  • Enforce two-factor authentication

    Admins on the Business plan can enforce two-factor authentication (2FA) for all users in the workspace. When enabled, users without 2FA are logged out and must complete 2FA setup on next login.

  • IP allow list for workspace access

    Admins on the Business plan can restrict workspace access to a predefined list of allowed IP addresses or CIDR ranges, adding an extra layer of security for enterprise environments.

  • Jira "Create Issue" required fields support (partial)

    Required fields are now respected when creating Jira issues from QA Sphere, reducing failed issue creation and manual fixes. Supported field types:

    • Text field / text area
    • Select (single option dropdown)
    • Labels (autocomplete array)
    • Multi-checkboxes (multi-select)

  • Improved Jira integration error handling

    Jira integration now provides clearer error messages for expired or suspended tokens.

  • Linear OAuth refresh token support

    Linear integration has been updated to support refresh tokens, preventing authentication issues caused by upcoming OAuth changes.

  • Improved CSV import and export

    CSV workflows are now more reliable, with improved support for identifiers, empty folders, and complex folder structures.

  • Reliable backup restore for shared preconditions

    Backup import/export now correctly recreates shared resources across projects. The export format includes titles and import reuses existing shared resources when present instead of duplicating.

  • Expanded public API for automation

    Public API has been expanded with new endpoints for bulk test case creation, project creation, and listing project requirements. This enables better automation workflows.
