Executive Summary

We’re excited to kick off the new year with some important improvements to Testkube that will make debugging the tests for your Kubernetes applications a breeze for your whole team.

When working with microservices architectures and container orchestration with Kubernetes applications, it’s ideal to have access to a centralized view that allows you to debug, monitor, and analyze your tests across multiple clusters comprehensively.

Testkube’s latest enhancements mainly focus on your user experience when debugging tests, with updates to the Testkube dashboard. These updates are designed to streamline your workflow, provide clearer insights into your test executions, better access to your logs, and seamless artifact storage.

Let’s take a look at these new enhancements:

Easily Sift Through Your Tests With Our New Executions Page

Testkube’s main Executions page for your Tests and Test Suites has been updated to allow you an additional view on top of the Grid view - you can now list all your test executions in a table, which lets you further filter your tests and navigate through them more easily.

Browse Through Your Artifacts With Artifacts Browsing

If you’re working with tools such as Cypress or Playwright, or any other testing framework that produces files and reports as output after execution - it’s important to be able to have quick access to these artifacts as part of your debugging process.

Testkube’s Artifacts section now displays all the files generated during execution and lets you browse through them to find specific items or download them as a single archive.

Debug Collaboratively With Log Line Sharing

Going through extensive logs and test outputs is one of the most time-consuming tasks for testers and developers. On top of that, when analyzing log lines, it’s common to do so collaboratively, which requires extra time from additional colleagues.

Now, we’ve added the possibility to share specific log lines with your team for quick collaboration and diagnosis. You can select a single or multiple log lines and simply copy the URL to it - this will bring your teammates directly to your selected part of the logs, saving them time.

Improve Your Debugging Workflow With Testkube Today

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s new in Testkube’s January 2024 update?

The January update focuses on debugging. It adds a Table view to the Executions page, artifacts browsing for the files your tests generate, and log line sharing so teammates can jump straight to the lines you’re looking at.

How does the Table view on the Executions page help?

Alongside the existing Grid view, you can now list all executions for your Tests and Test Suites in a table. The table makes it easier to filter executions and navigate through them.

Which test artifacts can I browse in Testkube?

Testkube’s Artifacts section displays all the files a test generates during execution, such as reports and outputs from Cypress, Playwright or any other testing framework. You can browse them to find specific items or download them all as a single archive.

How do I share specific log lines with my team?

Select a single log line or multiple lines and copy the URL to them. When teammates open the link, they land directly on that part of the logs instead of searching through the full output.

How can I try these debugging features?

Sign in to your Testkube account or create one to start using them. The Testkube documentation covers how to get started, and the Testkube Slack community is there for support and feedback.
