ALM Open Test Architecture API Reference Version 12.55
What's new in this release

In version ALM 11 Service Pack 3 and later versions, the OTAClient Type Library can no longer be registered on your workstation by running the ALM Client. You must run the Client Registration add-in. The add-in is on the ALM Tools page, accessed from the help drop-down menu in ALM. For more details, see the information about registering on a workstation in the Application Lifecycle Management Installation Guide.

 

There are new interfaces representing test folders (ITestFolder, ITestFolderFactory) and test set folders (ITestLabFolder, ITestLabFolderFactory). These interfaces replace the interfaces ISubjectNode, ITreeManager, ITestSetFolder, and ITestSetTreeManager, which are now deprecated. The deprecated interfaces are still supported to support existing OTA scripts. However, we recommend using the new interfaces. Do not use both the new interfaces and the deprecated interfaces in the same script.

 

The OTA CustomizationAction methods, AddGroup and RemoveGroup, which were dropped for ALM 11, have been restored.

The CustomizationPermissions properties CanAddItem, CanAllowAttachment, CanModifyField, CanModifyItem, CanRemoveItem which were read only for ALM 11, are now read/write.

Add, modify, and delete permissions, which were previously set using the CustomizationActions.Action property are now set with the above-mentioned CustomizationPermissions properties.
