Version 2.6.2-2024

Version 2.6.2-2024

1.0 Table improvements in the overview of test objects

You can now see a new table be displayed in the data pool under test objects.

The test objects now have three fixed attribute columns in the left-hand area. In the right-hand area, there are further attribute columns of the test objects arranged alphabetically. Each column represents an attribute that is assigned to one or more test objects.

The following three columns are located in the left-hand area:

IVA-data-pool-test-objects-table-01.png

Additional columns can be added to the left-hand area, which are then excluded from horizontal scrolling.

IVA-data-pool-test-objects-table-sort-function-01.png

By manually moving the columns in the table header, it is possible to flexibly define the order and width of the columns. This manual sorting is reset after switching to another menu item or refreshing.

Version 2.6.2-2024

2.0 Filtering the test objects

In addition, you can now sort the test objects in the filter according to certain attributes.

IVA-data-pool-test-objects-table-sort-function-filter.png

Version 2.6.1-2024

A release that includes some optimizations and new functionalities, e.g: Mandatory additional fields for increased tester performance. Some BUGs have been fixed to optimize stability. The update to this version is automatic

Version 2.6.1-2024

1.0 Additional fields for testers as mandatory fields

It is now possible to mark the additional fields as mandatory fields. When creating or editing a test, you can set two additional toggles in the feedback under "Additional fields for testers":

IVA-Evaluations-Test-additional-attributes-as-mandatory.png

The mandatory field must be answered so that the feedback can be saved. The feedback cannot be completed without filling in the mandatory field first.

If the toggle for “Siri capture” is switched on, Siri explicitly asks the tester about the selected field in the feedback.

In the Web Tester it looks like this: Link to the manual

In the iOS app it looks like this: Link to the manual

Version 2.6.1-2024

2.0 Performance improvement in the evaluation

Performance has been optimized for the feedback overview, both in the analysis and in the validation. The loading speed has therefore been improved.

Version 2.6.1-2024

3.0 BUGs

Appearance of the Net Promoter Score

In future, the Net Promoter Score will also be displayed correctly with a longer description. The individual fields containing the rating can now have different widths depending on their descriptive text.

In the Web Tester it looks like this: Link to the manual

Version 2.6-2024

A release that includes some optimizations and new functionalities, e.g: Additional fields for planners and testers and visibility of attachments for test objects. Some BUGs have been fixed for optimal stability. The update to this version is automatic.

Version 2.6-2024

1.0 Using the additional fields

The new functions of the additional fields can now be used in Control Center as well as in the iOS app and web tester.

The additional fields per test can be configured separately for planners and testers.

When configuring a test, the planner can also assign additional fields for the tester, which can later be answered in the iOS app or web tester. 

IVA-Additional-fields.png

These additional fields allow the tester to quickly enter additional and more precise information in the feedback. 

iOS-App-Feedback-Additional-fields.jpg   IVA-Web-Tester.png

Any number of fields can also be added during the evaluation phase using the attributes from the master data. This allows the planner to add and receive additional information when evaluating a test. The additional fields are displayed in separate columns in the feedback validation. 

IVA-Attributs-Planner-Tester.png

Version 2.6-2024

2.0 Visibility of test object attachments

To provide an overview of the documents attached to a test object, a new “Attachments” column has been assigned to the test object in the following places:

IVA-Evaluation-test-objects-attachments.png

The column is marked with the number of attachments and the “Attachment” icon.

IVA-Data-pool-test-objects-attachments.png

Version 2.6-2024

3.0 New transition from evaluations to reports

In order to introduce easier handling and avoid possible disorientation, the direct link from evaluations to the reports of instructions, feedback and the questionnaires has been interrupted. The three additional tabs at the end of the tab bar with the icon “Reports” and “Instructions”, “Feedback” and “Questionnaires” have been removed.

The continuation to the reports works in three new places instead. In a test, go to the respective tab in the tab bar:

By clicking on the “Validate feedback” button, which is located in the “Feedback” tab to the right of the “Assign category test object” button, you can report the feedback.

IVA-Evaluations-feedback-to-reports.png

It works in exactly the same way with the “Instructions”.

If you want to access the reports in the questionnaires, you must click on the “Reports” icon in the “Actions” column in the “Questionnaires” tab. 

IVA-Evaluations-questionnaires-to-reports.png

If the “Validate feedback” button or the “Report” icon are grayed out, this means that there are no evaluations available.

Version 2.6-2024

4.0 Improved tester and test object search to the test

The search for a tester and a test object in a test editing mode has been improved so that they can now be found more quickly both in an evaluation and in the data pool.

IVA-Improved-test-objects-search.png

Simply enter the name you are looking for and the number of testers or test objects will be displayed in the “From evaluation” or “From data pool” tabs.

IVA-Improved-tester-search.png

In addition, filtering has been improved when using the date and calendar week attribute type.

Version 2.5-2024

The update to this version is carried out automatically. This release includes some optimizations and new functionalities, e.g: Visibility of subcategories and the introduction of a central access point to the IVA Control Center. Some BUGs have been fixed for optimal stability.

Version 2.5-2024

1.0 Visibility of subcategories in the feedback validation

The visibility of subcategories has been improved to facilitate efficient recording.

IVA-Report-Feedback-visibility-sub-categorie.png

As of recently, in the table under Evaluation > Feedback Validation in the "Categories" column, you can now also see the first 3 subcategories in addition to the respective category name. If there are four or more subcategories, only the last one is displayed.

This has also been changed under the menu item Evaluation > Analysis.

Version 2.5-2024

2.0 Central access point for all IVA users

IVA now has a central access point for all users.

IVA-Control-Center-entrypoint.jpg

Via the URL:

IVA-Reports-Breadcrumb.png

The breadcrumb navigation has been optimized to enable direct access to the various result types.

You can navigate to the following result types via the drpdown in the breadcrumb navigation:

The step to return to the evaluation overview is no longer necessary, this saves you a click.


Improvements to PDF reports

PDF reports of feedback results possible for multiple tests at the same time

It is now possible to create a PDF report for several tests and evaluations at the same time in the Evaluation > Feedback Validation. This makes it easier to evaluate different tests and evaluations according to test objects or categories.

In addition, a cover sheet has been developed in which the tests and evaluations are automatically generated and displayed.

Sorting within PDF reports

The layout of the PDF reports has been improved to make them easier to analyze. You can now sort by test object and category.

Version 2.5-2024

4.0 BUGs

Saving is possible again after creating a question in a questionnaire

After creating a question in an existing questionnaire, the "Save" button becomes active again and the action is available.

Version 2.4-2024

A comprehensive release with many new functionalities: automatically adapted questionnaires, sorting by test object, targeted filtering through an extensive tree selection component and some automation. Some BUGs have been fixed for optimal stability.

Version 2.4-2024

1.0 Automatically adapted questionnaires

Use of attributes for questions

IVA-Question-with-Attributs.png

From now on it is possible to assign different conditions to questions using attributes.
For this purpose, an automatic comparison takes place with the attributes of relevant test objects. Only if a test object has an attribute that was defined as a condition in the question will the question be displayed.

A detailed description can be found here: LINK to the manual

Comparison of conditions in questionnaires

IVA-Reports-questionnaires-conditions.png

In order to only receive relevant questions in a questionnaire, a mechanism was developed at this point. This means that only the questions that meet certain conditions are displayed.

IVA-Reports-questionnaires-conditions-detail.png
By clicking on the “Conditions” button you can find out which condition has been set.

A detailed description can be found here: LINK to the manual

Version 2.4-2024

2.0 Additional fields for planners and testers per test

IVA-Additional-fields-for-planners-and-testers.pngIt is now possible to configure the additional attributes for planners and testers for each test.

Additional input fields have been introduced so that the planner can receive additional information when evaluating a test. These fields are generated based on the attributes and can be implemented individually.

Attribute fields have also been set up for testers, allowing them to quickly provide additional and more detailed information in feedback.

These additional attributes are then displayed in separate columns in the evaluation and then feedback validation. The tester attributes are displayed directly after the mandatory information (such as test object name, test object key number, time, tester, category and rating) and are separated from planner attributes by an icon.

A detailed description can be found here: LINK to the manual

Version 2.4-2024

3.0 Select to tests objects

IVA-Reports-Select-Testobject.png

An alternative overview of the evaluation was recently implemented, which allows all results to be sorted according to the existing test objects. The new view can be accessed via the navigation bar on the left under the menu item “Evaluation” -> “Select Test Objects”.

Via the respective result tile of a test object, you can access the reports

that are assigned to the test object.

IVA-Reports-Select-Testobject-Filter.png

By expanding the test object tile, all tests to which the test object is assigned are listed. Clicking on a result tile within these tests takes you to the reports of the results for this specific test object in this specific test.

A detailed descripton can be found here: LINK to the manual

Version 2.4-2024

4.0 Filtering by tree selection component

New components in the evaluation, feedback validation and questionnaires 

IVA-Tree-selection-component.png

A new component has been developed that enables the precise evaluation of evaluations and tests as well as test objects. This is the tree selection component, which is always located on the left-hand side and can be collapsed or expanded. It has been added at various points in the reports: 

A search in the list is also possible.

By setting up more targeted searches and selecting/compiling relevant evaluations, tests and test objects, efficiency and targeted analysis are optimized in the evaluation.

A detailed descripton can be found here: LINK to the manual

Version 2.4-2024

5.0 Matching mechanism for data import to the test objects

IVA-Matching-mechanism-file-import.png

The process of assigning several files to a test object simultaneously and quickly has been simplified. A mechanism has been developed to automatically assign the files to the correct test object based on the key number.

The import and assignment of the following file formats: 

to a test object in a test is possible using the automatic process, which is carried out by clicking on the “Automatic assignment” button. This assignment of files can also be carried out manually using the drag & drop function.

A detailed descripton can be found here: LINK to the manual

In addition, a file can be added to each individual test object in the data pool.

Version 2.4-2024

7.0 Deactivate test object

IVA-Deactivation-of-the-test-object.png

A new function has been introduced: “Deactivate test object”, which can be implemented using a toggle. A test object that is no longer available for various reasons can thus be excluded from future feedback in a test. 

A test object can be deleted in the test if no results are available for it.

If results are available for a test object, it can only be archived in the data pool.

Version 2.4-2024

8.0 Filtering of archived data

IVA-Filtering-of-archived-data.png

The filter for archived data with the checkbox “Show archived” and “Reset to default” has been added in the following places:

Each part of the breadcrumb navigation is clickable.

The test objects and other sorting options can be selected in the filter.

Import multiple files to test object
IVA-Import-multiple-files-to-test-object.png

The uploading of files in the data pool under “Test objects” has also been optimized.
When creating and editing a test object, you can now upload and save several files one after the other via drag & drop or with one click under “Attachments” on the right.
The files can be opened enlarged in a new tab with a click or deleted with the red “x” icon.

Improved behavior of additional columns (planner and tester attributs)
IVA-Attributs-Planner-Tester.png

To make it easier to distinguish the overview of attributes used in the additional columns, a new label with six states has been introduced in the left-hand column:


not assigned
assigned and without value assigned and with value
tester attribut
no change

no change

boarder with accent color

planner attribut
no change ✅ green check icon 
✅ green check icon and boarder with accent color

Below the evaluation and feedback validation, there is a button with a “cogwheel” icon that leads to a “Select columns” dialog. Additional attributes can be configured here and added, deleted or edited as required. These attributes are then displayed in the additional columns.

A detailed descripton can be found here: LINK to the manual

Planer-UI-Test templates-overview.png

Planners now can create Test templates within an evaluation. This allows testers to autonomously create new AdHoc-tests for a selected test object in the iOS app.

The "Test templates" tab has been added to the evaluations, where new templates can be created using the "Create Test template" button.

A detailed description can be found here: Link to the manual

Version 2.3-2024

2.0 Tester role in master data is now conditionally editable

Planer-UI-Master data-tester details.png

The automatic synchronization of users under “administration” and the testers in "master data", as well as their e-mail addresses, has been optimized.

If a new tester is created under “master data” for a specific division, he is also automatically created as a new user under “administration” in exactly this division with the role "Tester".

If a new user is created under “administration” and at the same time authorized as a tester for a specific division, the tester is automatically added to the corresponding division under "Master data" in this case too.

The planner, the administrator and anyone who has organizer roles, can create a "New tester" under "Master data" in the "Tester overview" submenu and configure the following settings:

  1. Determine username
  2. Enter e-mail address
  3. Via the toggle create a
    1. user account with login -> then the checkbox "Role tester in an division" is automatically selected and cannot be changed
    2. choose to not create a user account with login
  4. "Archive" or
  5. "Delete" if no tester results are available

From now on, when editing the testers in "Tester Details", he may only deselect the checkbox "Role tester in a division" and "Archive" but not make any changes to the basic data. For changes of: Last name, first name, e-mail and company only the administrator is authorized. Only an administrator can deactivate users.

A planner cannot deselect the checkbox "Role tester for <division>" for a tester who has already been created as a tester but is not yet a user. He can only generate an account and a role.

In the future if an existing user is edited, changes to the first name, surname and department will also be automatically updated in the linked tester tables.

Version 2.2-2023
