Overview

The Test Case Create Page has received a major update. The redesigned UI is more polished, user-friendly, and intuitive. You can now switch between two modes: the improved Simple Mode and the new zAI Mode.
zAI Mode is an AI-powered test-case creation workflow, simply describe the scenario you want to automate, and zAI will generate a complete test case for you. You only need to review and add actions; no additional manual setup is required.

In Simple Mode, you can define steps before creating the test case. You can also view the most frequently used global steps, add them instantly, search for specific steps, or create new ones with a single click, all before finalizing the test case.

3. Redesign of Runtime Parameter Component

Overview

The Runtime Parameter is one of the most used features of ZeuZ. So we took time to make it look simpler, made its usage more straightforward, and removed confusing parts. We also rethought the copy and paste process. Now users have more control over what they are copying and what happens when pasting.

---

New Design

We added background colors to each Runtime Parameter to make them easily distinguishable. We also rethought the color scheme so users can understand everything at a glance. When no value is selected, it stays grayed out; when a value is selected, it becomes darker to indicate that a selection has been made. There is also a green/gray dot for extra clarity.

By default, the value appears as plain text, making it easy on the eyes. When clicked, it converts into a select component and allows the user to change the value.

The editing and creation UI for Runtime Parameters has also been updated. It now shows a modal for isolation and easier use. We now set the tag automatically to simplify the process. If the user wishes, they can click the tag icon to set a custom value to make it easier to remember.

Copy & Paste

Previously, we only allowed users to copy the entire Runtime Parameter component. Now, we allow users to choose what to copy. This lets users skip unnecessary Runtime Parameter components when copying.

Pasting is also improved. If there is any conflicting value with the same name and tag, a modal will appear allowing the user to rename the tag. They can also replace the existing value by keeping the same tag name.

Bug Fix

• Fixed a bug where selected configurations were not being saved.

4. Improved Private Key Sharing for ZeuZ Secret

Overview

Managing private keys in previous versions of ZeuZ Secret was difficult and time-consuming. Users had to manually access each node to add a secret key, which created a significant challenge—especially for non-technical users. To solve this, we introduced a streamlined, web-based workflow to generate, share private keys directly from the ZeuZ interface.

---

Generate Private Key

You can now generate a private key directly from the browser without needing to log in to any node.
After generating the key, you'll be prompted to select the nodes where the new private key should be stored. ZeuZ will automatically send the key to the selected nodes, removing the hassle of manual setup.

Share Existing Private Key

If a private key already exists on a specific node, you can share it with other nodes directly from the web interface.

1. Select the node that contains the existing private key.
2. Choose the nodes where you want that key to be copied.
3. A secure request will be sent to the source node.
4. The node encrypts the private key and sends it to the zsvc.
5. The zsvc then delivers the encrypted key to the target nodes.

This process ensures the key never leaves the system unencrypted and simplifies multi-node synchronization.

Allowed Nodes Control

We also introduced an Allowed Nodes feature.
This lets you specify which nodes are permitted to use a particular secret value. It adds an extra layer of security by limiting access only to trusted nodes.

5. Redesign of Project Management (Beta Release)

Overview

We are introducing a new, simplified UI for all project item types—Requirement, Task, Bug, and Document. This redesign focuses on readability, consistency, and a smoother workflow across all pages. This update is currently in Beta and still a work in progress.

---

Unified Layout Across All Item Types

All items now share the same clean structure:

Left Side

• Description directly under the title
• Discussion section below the description

6. Introducing the Integrated Installer

Overview

We are introducing a significant update to our core platform installer, designed to transform your test environment setup from hours of manual configuration into a seamless, single-window experience. This new feature, the Integrated Installer, allows you to one-click install, manage, and verify many essential development tools and prerequisites directly within the application, drastically reducing the effort traditionally spent on downloading, setting up environment variables, and running terminal commands.

This update provides integrated installation and status checking for all major test dependencies. For Mobile Automation, you can now install key components like Android SDK, Java/JDK, ADB, Node.js, and Appium. This includes a streamlined workflow for installing and launching Android Emulators directly. For Database and Web Testing, we have added support for popular database connectors (for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and Oracle), as well as dedicated browser support for Chrome for Testing, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

To ensure a smooth setup, we've implemented several quality-of-life enhancements. The installer now automatically checks to make sure you have all the necessary components before starting an installation, guiding you if anything is missing. If an installation fails, you'll see a clear "View Error" button to quickly understand what went wrong. Finally, when the system needs administrator rights (like a sudo password) to install certain services, a secure, built-in window will handle the authorization, making the whole setup process simpler and more secure. All these ensure that you can manage all the pre-requisites and dependencies without ever having to leave the web interface.

7. Prevented ZeuZ Node Getting stuck

Overview

Previously, sometimes a running node becomes undeployable even though the node appears online. This issue has been addressed in this release. Now, nodes that are online will not become undeployable.

8. Groups

Overview

Groups provide a comprehensive group-based permission system that enables centralized access control and flexible permission management across the ZeuZ platform. This feature makes it easy to assign consistent permissions to multiple users, ensuring secure testing operations, controlled execution rights, and organized project access.

---

Why it matters / Use Cases

• Centralized access control: Groups make it easy to assign consistent permissions to multiple users.
• Secure testing operations: They restrict who can view, edit, run, or deploy test cases.
• Controlled execution rights: Only authorized members can manage executions and runtime parameters.
• Organized project access: Groups control access to backlog, tasks, sprints, and documents.
• Filtered reporting access: They ensure that only selected users can view specific reports.
• Protected configuration settings: Groups prevent unauthorized changes to dashboards, views, or settings.
• Faster onboarding: New users automatically receive correct permissions when added to a group.
• Improved security compliance: Groups limit access to sensitive actions like admin-level options or deployment controls.

Prerequisites

• Access to ZeuZ Server with permissions for Admin → Group Policy → Groups.
• The user must be able to open the Policy Editor to create or modify groups.
• The user must have sufficient rights to create a new role, edit an existing role, or view available roles.
• Users should already exist in the system so they can be assigned to the group through the Assign Users option.
• Teams must know which actions (view or edit) each role in the group should have before configuring the toggles.

Quick-Start

1. Open the Policy Editor: Navigate to the Policy Editor to view and manage permission policies.
2. Select a Role: Choose a role from the list on the left, such as New group, Super Admin Group, or Default Group.
3. Review Permissions: View the permissions assigned to the selected role under sections such as Testing, Create/Edit, and Search.
4. Modify Permissions: Toggle the View or Edit options to adjust the permissions for each action.
5. Save Changes: Click Save Changes to apply the updated permission settings.
6. Assign Users: Use the Assign Users button to add or remove users from the selected role.

Permission Resolution Logic

The Union Rule (Additive OR Logic)

Users can belong to multiple Groups simultaneously. The system uses an additive (OR logic) approach to resolve permissions when a user is a member of multiple groups.

Core Principle

If any single group grants a specific permission to a user, the user has that permission, even if their other groups do not have it.

Global Scope

Permissions are not project-specific. If a permission (e.g., "Deploy Test Case") is removed from a Group, that capability is revoked for all Team Projects associated with that Group's context.

Example Scenario: "Deploy Test Case"

User: John Doe

Group Membership	Permission Status	Can Deploy?
Group A	OFF	❌ No
Group B	OFF	❌ No
Group C	ON	✅ Yes

Result: John Doe CAN Deploy Test Cases.

Important Note: A restriction in one group does not override a grant in another. To revoke access entirely, the user must be removed from all groups that grant that specific permission.

System Admin Group

The System Admin Group is the highest-privileged group in the ecosystem, equivalent to "Super Admin" level.

Membership

Contains all System Administrators.

Capabilities

1. User Management: Can add other users to the System Admin Group.
2. Full System Access: Has full access to all system features by default.
3. Exclusive Privilege: Can view and edit the "Admin Menu Visibility" toggle for other groups.

Key Features

Policy Editor Section

• On the left side, the Policy Editor panel lists existing roles. One example, "New Group", is visible with 76 permissions assigned.
• The Create Role + button is available on the right side of the Policy Editor.
• A modal window titled Create New Role is displayed at the center of the screen.
• The form includes a mandatory field labeled Role Name, where the user is expected to type the name of the new role.
• Two action buttons are provided:
  • Cancel: Closes the popup without creating the role.
  • Create Role: Confirms the creation of the new role once a valid name is entered.

Edit / Delete Roles

• The label Editing indicates that the user is working on the details or configuration of the selected role.
• The role's name, New group, is displayed beside the label for quick identification.
• Two action buttons appear on the right side:
  • Edit: Allows the user to modify the role's name or settings.
  • Delete: It is highlighted in red to signal a critical action, as it is used to permanently delete the role.
• A text field is provided containing the updated role name, New group edit.
• On the right side, a Save button is available, which the user must click to confirm and store the changes. This layout allows users to modify a role's name and save the updated information within the system.

Assign Users

• The Assign Users function is used to link specific users to a particular group or role. In simple terms, it allows an administrator to decide which users should belong to the selected group, so they can receive the permissions, access levels, or restrictions defined for that group.
• After clicking the Assign Users button, the following elements become available.:
  • Header and Summary:
    • Assign Users to Group: This is the main title of the page.
    • 4 users assigned: A summary stating that this specific group currently has 4 members.
    • None, Developer, Member: These are likely filters or status indicators for the users, allowing an admin to view users with specific roles (e.g., Developer) or no role (None).
  • Add New User Section: This is the control panel for adding more people to the group.
    • Select users: This is a button or a dropdown menu that, when clicked, would open a list of all available users in the system to choose from and add to this group.
  • Assigned Users Section: This is a list that displays all the users who are currently members of the group. It has several components:
    • Manage users currently assigned to this group: A sub-heading explaining the purpose of this list.
    • User List: A table or list showing the assigned users.
    • Search Bar: An admin can use the search box, labeled Search users by name or role..., to filter the list and quickly locate a specific user.
    • Actions: Each user has a Remove button next to their name. Clicking this would remove that specific user from the group.
    • Pagination Info: The text 1-4 of 4 users and 10 / page indicates that all 4 users are shown on this first page, and the interface can display up to 10 users per page.
• After clicking the Save Changes button, the Group "New group" updated successfully message appears.

Show Permissions

• The Show Permissions function displays the exact access rights granted to a selected group. It allows administrators to review which actions can be performed.
• After clicking the Show Permissions option, all features available under the Testing, Project and Admin for that specific group are displayed. Features that the group can access are indicated by a purple button, while features that are not accessible are shown with a grey button.

Grant All / Remove All

• Grant All: The Grant All function is used to give a group or user full access to all available features or permissions at once. Instead of enabling each permission individually, this option automatically selects all permissions, simplifying the process of assigning comprehensive access.
• Remove All: The Remove All function is used to revoke all permissions or access rights from a group or user at once. Instead of deselecting each permission individually, this option clears all assigned permissions, effectively removing access to all features.
