Host

A few words from our CEO

"We're thrilled to announce that the first beta of XStudio 11 has been released, and we're adding the final touches to make it perfect.

Here's a sneak peek at two exciting features you can look forward to in this version: a brand-new user interface with three stunning themes and an innovative marketplace where you can access test plans, requirements, and more from trusted third-party vendors."

- Eric Gavaldo

New UI with 3 themes

At our core, we prioritize working on new features to make the project contributor's life easier, we also give a lot of importance to the UI and UX.
With the version 11, we've invested significant effort in crafting a modern and user-friendly interface that enhances productivity. Navigating through the application becomes a breeze, empowering you to accomplish tasks more efficiently than ever before.

The new UI comes with 3 different themes so that you can pick your favorite one in real-time using the small widget at the bottom of the sidebar:

Each user can have his own preferences on this.

The default theme is named "light" and adopt easily recognizable green and orange color charter:

Those who prefer darker UI will be happy to use the "dark" theme:

And finally, people who don't like changes will be able to keep their habits using the "legacy" theme:

The marketplace

We understand that many of our customers find themselves reinventing the wheel time and time again, designing requirements and tests for common functionalities (such as login, authentication, shopping cart etc.). But why go through the hassle of starting from scratch when this knowledge could be readily available from others?

We're hopefully trying to revolution the way our customers approach test design. Imagine having access a vast repository of pre-designed, industry-standard test scenarios and requirements. No matter what product you're testing, chances are that countless companies have already tackled similar challenges. Why not leverage this wealth of knowledge?

By sharing this valuable information, the community would not only save you time and effort, but also potentially save you substantial costs. Instead of investing resources into redundant test design, you could access to a treasure trove of proven test scenarios for free or at a reasonable price. It's a win-win situation: you benefit from invaluable insights while also making a smart investment.

So we thought about designing a platform dedicated to do that: sharing test plans or any other type of information. And we ended with the idea of a marketplace where most of the packages could be free and some could be purchasable from different vendors.

With a seamless integration, our marketplace offers streamlined transaction processes and provides a perfect integration as packages (requirements, tests etc.) are directly imported in XStudio.

We hope many vendors will be joining in the future and many different types of items will be available for free or purchasable.

Our marketplace allows getting free or commercial packages (from different vendors) that could target different areas:
  • Predefined requirements
  • Predefined specifications
  • Predefined tests and testcases
  • Bundle including requirements, specifications, tests, testcases, campaigns and all the associated links
  • Automated tests skeletons
  • Glossaries (for reports)
  • Access to test-oriented self-training
  • Coupons for third-party test tools
  • Etc.
The interface is quite simple:

If you decide to get one of the free packages by clicking on the Light theme button, the data will be directly imported in your XStudio database.
You'll get a status about the import and the data will be usable immediately:

If you decide to purchase one of the commercial packages by clicking on the Light theme button, you'll be able to provide your license key to import the package right in your XStudio server:

Currently, the marketplace does contain only a very limited number of packages to import/purchase, but we hope this will enrich quickly.
Unlock the potential of our growing marketplace!
More packages coming soon! :)
