AUTOMATED TEST FRAMEWORK RELEASE NOTES

The ServiceNow® Automated Test Framework (ATF) enables you to create and run
automated tests to confirm that your instance works after making a change. For
example, after an upgrade, during application development, or when deploying
instance configurations with update sets. Review failed test results to identify
the changes that caused the failure and the changes that you should review.
Automated Test Framework (ATF) was enhanced and updated in the Rome release.


AUTOMATED TEST FRAMEWORK HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE ROME RELEASE

 * Reduce upgrade and development time by replacing manual testing with
   automated testing.
 * Design tests once and reuse them in different contexts and with different
   test data sets.
 * Keep test instances clean by rolling back test data and changes made after
   each test run.
 * Create and schedule test suites to organize and run tests in batches.
 * Reduce test design time by copying quick start tests and test suites. You can
   also create custom test steps to expand test coverage.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR UPGRADING AUTOMATED TEST FRAMEWORK TO ROME

Copy and customize quick start tests provided by the Now Platform® to validate
that your instance works after you make any configuration changes. For example,
if you apply an upgrade or develop an application.

The tests can only produce a pass result when you run them on a base system
without any customizations and with the default demo data that is provided with
the application or feature plugin. To apply a quick start test to your
instance-specific data, copy the quick start test and add your custom data. For
more information, see Available quick start tests by application or feature.


NEW IN THE ROME RELEASE

Select2 functionalities in ATF Use the Select2 component to search for and
select your option from the list. You can also specify the text that you want to
search for in the set component value step within the page inspector. ServiceNow
Headless Browser for ATF Use the ServiceNow® Headless Browser for Automated Test
Framework to improve UI testing by automating the creation of browsers to
process ATF UI tests. You can then test UI functionality without having to
manually open a browser to the Client Test Runner, which is used to process the
UI tests in your local browser.


CHANGED IN THIS RELEASE

Improved workspace screenshots ATF now enables the GlideScreenshot feature that
enables capture of the full page when taking a screenshot. Click Modal Button
test step supports scoped application modals Starting with the Rome release, the
Click Modal Button test step supports global and scoped application modals. UI16
navigator The Application Navigator test category now has two navigator options
- UI15 and UI16. Assert Text on Page test step supports Workspace Starting with
the Rome release, the Assert Text on Page (Custom UI) test step also works for
Workspace for any new tests. ATF component finder Find your component on a page
using the sn-atf-area or the label path included in the Page area column.


ACTIVATION INFORMATION

Automated Test Framework is a Now Platform feature that is active by default.
Note: By default, the system property that is used to run automated tests is
disabled to prevent you from accidentally running these tests on a production
system. To avoid data corruption or an outage, run tests only on development,
test, and other non-production instances. For more information, see Enable or
disable executing Automated Test Framework Test Framework tests.

To use the quick start tests for an application, activate the plugin that is
associated with the application. For more information, see Available quick start
tests by application or feature for plugin requirements.


BROWSER REQUIREMENTS

Automated Test Framework only supports running tests from desktop browsers. You
can't run tests or test suites from tablets, mobile browsers, or the mobile UI.
Some desktop browsers require additional configuration. For more information,
see Browser recommendation for Automated Test Framework.

Automated Test Framework offers limited support for test design on tablets. You
can't add new custom UI test steps from tablets because tablets can't retrieve
components. Review existing custom UI test steps that were added from a desktop
browser.
