QVscribe 4.0.3 (Word, Excel, Polarion, Jama, DOORS Next)

Configurations Have Gotten More Customizable

QVscribe 4.0.3 gives users greater control over what issues they want to report and what ones they want to ignore. QVscribe users can save these preferences and use them according to project needs.

We have also renamed ‘Trigger Words’ to ‘Problem Types’. Now each quality issue and warning are a Problem Type you can choose to detect. In turn, each Problem Type has an associated and user-configurable list of words and phrases.

QVscribe 4.0.3 includes the most up-to-date version of the log4j library, 2.17.1,
providing the securest version of this library.

We continuously strive to provide the securest product available to our clients and would like to thank the IT teams who reached out to support the implementation of the most recent log4j library in their QVscribe platform.

Now, let’s get into specifics for those of you who use QVscribe for Polarion, Jama , and DOORS Next integrations and those that use our Microsoft Word and Excel integrations, since there are some subtle differences.

Configurations in Polarion, Jama, and DOORS Next

This release will give you the ability to enable/disable problem types for your QVscribe
configuration.

Requirements are now evaluated based on problem types that have been disabled. The QVscribe report and Quality Breakdown will now show N/A for disabled problem types

The Authoring screen will only provide feedback for enabled problem types.

Logic Improvements

We have also improved the logic behind our analysis for incomplete sentences. In this update, your internal list and your imperative phrase list are both included while analyzing your requirement. This advancement will lower false positives and make incomplete sentences more accurate.

Configurations in Microsoft Word and Excel

Release 4.0 will give you the ability to enable/disable problem types for your QVscribe
configuration.

And similar to our other integrations the QVscribe report will show N/A for disabled problem types.

We have also improved the logic behind our analysis for incomplete sentences. In this update, your internal list and your imperative phrase list are both included while analyzing your requirement. This advancement will lower false positives and make incomplete sentences more accurate.

An added benefit of this integration is that QVscribe will now inherit your theme from your Windows settings for the dialogue boxes.

We improved feature parity between QVscribe for Word and Excel for a refined Excel user experience. Where appropriate, the user interface has been updated while considering that both Word and Excel systems have different workflows.

Microsoft Edge and OpenJDK Support

QVscribe now supports Microsoft Edge: QVscribe is now fully supported in the Microsoft Edge browser in addition to Google Chrome for users of Jama, Polarion, and DOORS Next.

Support for OpenJDK java runtime engine: Some customers have expressed the need for an alternative to Oracle Java. To support this requirement, customers now have the option to choose between Open JDK (Ver 8.0.252.09, build – jdk8u292- b10) and Oracle Java as their runtime engine.
