Vera 2023.2 improved policy management providing the ability to set default policies and assign policies to specific domains. We added the Connection and Policy Set modules to Policy Management in Site Administration to support policies by domain. Here is a summary of improved policy management modules:

• Connections Module - simply connecting Vera to integrated applications, includes connection verification

• Policies Module - ability to upload multiple policies and set default policies and also store policy revisions.

• Policy Set Module - ability to create policy sets to associate individual policies to domains

The following enhancements are included in the VERA 2023.2 release:

Improved qTest integration

The qTest integration Route for Approval and Cancel Approval Route actions has improved queuing and scalability with new microservices. In addition, the import of qTest records and attachments was optimized to reduce import time.

Web Portal improvements

The Web Portal was improved to reduce load time and present imported data.

• Improved HTML support for qTest Test Cases and Test Runs data

• Improved Incremental loading of records in Vera

• Improved loading of Record Print View

New Connections Module

Site administrators can now configure and manage connecting Vera to source applications (qTest, Jira, Xray & Tosca). Connections can be tested to verify integration configuration. This feature replaces the Synchronization Policy json file.

Open

The location column on the approval queue has been changed to System.

The adding of projects to a domain has also been updated from ‘Location’ to ‘Connections’.

Please see Connections Management for more details.

Support Multiple Policies

Vera already supported the uploading of policies. Now, this includes an improved add policy feature as well as deletion of policies, policy details and filtering of policies. Policies now have Owner and Description fields to manage multiple policies.

New Policy Revision History

Vera also stores policy revision and displays this as a separate column, admins can also import new policy revisions, and download current and previous revisions using the download icon on the same row of the policy name. This provides a simplified rollback capability.

Please see Policy Management on the Web Portalarchived for more details.

Define Default Policies

In addition to improving the policy management, Vera now supports uploading default policies and defining existing policies as default. You can quickly locate the default policies with a filter.

Please see Managing Policy Files for more details.

New Policy Sets Module

Site Administrators can group Approval and Record Management Policies into sets.

Link Policy Sets to Domains

In addition to the new policy set module, on the policy set details, administrators can associate one or more domains to a policy set.

Please see Managing Policy Sets for more details.

A tutorial is now available to provided instruction on Vera administrator tasks. The Vera Site Administration tutorial will guide Vera administrators on how to configure Vera policies to meet business requirements.
