What's new

Autopilot Chat Generally Available (GA)

Autopilot Chat is a context-aware and action-enabled agent which is generally available in Test Manager. Autopilot Chat is available in Test Manager only when delivered through Test Cloud.

• Autopilot Chat brings an intelligent, conversational assistant in Test Manager, designed to enhance how testers interact with and manage their testing assets.
• Instead of navigating menus and filters, users can ask questions, perform searches, generate assets, and trigger actions in natural language. The chat maintains conversational context when using tools, making interactions more natural and fluid.

Autopilot Chat connects with Test Manager's built-in Autopilot tools and extends further through MCP server integration, allowing it to execute commands, evaluate requirements, generate test cases, and even run external automation processes and agents.

Autopilot Search is now part of Autopilot Chat. The standalone Autopilot Search entry point has moved, and is accessible only as a built-in tool inside Autopilot Chat.

Note:

This change applies only to Test Manager delivered through Test Cloud. Autopilot Search continues to be available from the Test Manager header in Test Manager delivered through Automation Cloud.

For more information, refer to the Autopilot Chat section of the documentation in Test Manager and the Autopilot generic documentation.

Customizable test execution name format

You can now define how test executions are named, at the project level under Project Settings > General > Execution. Use the Test execution name format field to build a naming template from the following variables: Execution.Type, TestSet.Name, Execution.StartTime, custom fields of type Test Set, and free text. The format can also be overridden per test set.

The default format is {Execution.Type} - {TestSet.Name} - {Execution.StartTime|yyyyMMdd.HHmmss}.

For more information, refer to the General project settings section of the documentation.

Autopilot failure status and error messages in Audit

The Audit log in the AI Trust Layer now displays three statuses (Succeeded, Blocked, Failed) for Autopilot operations. When a failure occurs, the Details panel shows a human-readable Error message field describing the reason for the failure.

For more information, refer to the Audit logs section of the documentation.
