Good news for our 🐍 Python friends: in this release we derived a parser for Restructured Text (RST) from our existing Markdown parser.

The Markdown parser in the process now accepts specification item titles underlined with either "=" (H1) or "-" (H2).

Also, the Markdown parser now ignores whitespace in Needs and Tags entries and correctly parses Tags at the start of a requirement item.

The test coverage for the Markdown importer is now at 100%, and we were able to remove tests that were done with mocks in favor or more robust low-level integration tests.

We also improved detection of requirement forwarding markup:

currentArtifactType-->forwaredTo:originalArtifactType~name~revision

This now works directly after:

Markdown title
"Needs" section
"Depends" section
"Covers" section
"Tags" section

Breaking Changes

Java 17

We dropped support for Java 11 for a couple of reasons:

Oracle JDK does not support version 11 anymore
AdoptJDK will likely end support for version 11 in September 2024
Most machines now come preinstalled with 17 or later
Java 17 has a couple of features that allow for cleaner, safer and more readable code

Removed Deprecated Elektrobit-proprietary Specification Item ID Format

Support for the previously deprecated Elektrobit-proprietary specification item ID format

req:name, v1

has now been removed from the Markdown format. Please migrate to OFT's native format:

req~name~1

3.8.0: Importer Improvements

Summary

In this release we derived a parser for Restructured Text (RST) from our existing Markdown parser.

The Markdown parser in the process now accepts specification item titles underlined with either "=" (H1) or "-" (H2).

Also, the Markdown parser now ignores whitespace in Needs and Tags entries and correctly parses Tags at the start of a requirement item.

The test coverage for the Markdown importer is now at 100%, and we were able to remove tests that were done with mocks in favor or more robust low-level integration tests.

The HTML report now allows expanding all details sections with command line option --details-section-display expand.

Now you can also specify a revision for coverage tags instead of the default revision 0, e.g. [impl~~42->req~example_name~17].

Features

#378: Added an RST importer
#377: Allow expanding the details sections in the HTML report
#379: Allow specifying a revision for coverage tags
#394: Import coverage tags from .yml files in addition to .yaml

Bugfixes

#366: Allow all unicode characters in names of specification ID names (thanks to @sebastianohl for the bug report!)
#373: Ignore spaces after items in "Needs:" and "Tags:" lists (thanks to @sambishop for his contribution!)
#378: Merged integration test coverage with unit test coverage for representative overall figure
#303: Escape special characters in HTML report to avoid broken HTML when a specification item contains text like <section>
#391: Fixed reading files with invalid encoding (thanks to @ayankuma for the bug report!)

OpenFastTrace 3.7.0, released 2023-01-04

Code name: Improved console report and Typescript support

Summary

In this release we added support for JavaScript (.js) and TypeScript files (.ts) to the TagImporter.

The plain text report (aka "console report") got an overhaul to improve readability. We added optional color and font formatting output.
