Product updates

A full rundown of our latest releases, improvements and fixes in Testsigma Arcus

August 2026
Released August 17, 2026Latest

Multi-project integrations, richer test run comments, and review-aware test runs


New features
Multiple projects per integration
You're no longer limited to one project per tool. Configure multiple projects from Jira, Azure DevOps, Linear, and ClickUp in a single workspace, which helps when your teams span different products, squads, or defect boards. Map test cases and test runs to stories in whichever project they belong to, and log defects against the right project instead of a single default. Existing integrations keep working as configured, and you can add more projects alongside them.
Improvements
Richer test run comments
Status change comments now use the same rich text editor as test case pages. Add headings, bullet points, and hyperlinks when recording why a status changed; a pasted defect URL becomes a clickable link. Attach evidence without a separate upload step: drag a file onto the comment field or paste a screenshot from your clipboard. Images render inline, other files attach as named download links, and you can remove anything before saving. Formatting and attachments persist wherever the comment appears later, including run history and the activity log.
Test runs respect review status
If your project uses Review Management, test runs include only test cases that have cleared review. When you add test cases to a run, selection, search, and filters show only Active or Ready test cases; drafts, test cases still in review, and deprecated or obsolete test cases are filtered out. Runs created before this change are unaffected, and a test case already in a run stays in it even if its status later becomes ineligible. Projects without Review Management see no change.

AI-powered CSV imports and clearer import reporting


New features
AI-based CSV field mapping
Imports auto-map your CSV headers to Arcus fields by analyzing headers and data samples. Review the suggestions, override anything manually, and import in one click.
Improvements
Detailed import reports
Every import now returns a full breakdown: total test cases processed versus successful, failed, and skipped, with record-level failure reasons and clear skip logic to help you clean data faster.
February 2026
Released February 26, 2026

Deeper integrations and AI-assisted defect creation


New features
Azure DevOps two-way sync
Full bi-directional sync between Arcus and Azure DevOps, generate test cases directly from work items for instant traceability, and keep sprints, sprint changes, and story edits synced in real time.
AI-powered defect creation
AI auto-generates defect summaries and descriptions from test steps, failure logs, and execution context, formatted developer-ready to reduce manual edits during logging.
Improvements
Jira dynamic defect form
The defect form now pulls issue types, custom fields, and required fields straight from your Jira project, validates against Jira's configuration rules before submission, and reflects Jira config changes automatically.

Released January 22, 2026

Read-only access, Confluence-to-tests, and multi-region support


New features
Read-only user role
A view-only role across Arcus. Read-only users can see everything but cannot create, edit, delete, or execute any test assets.
Confluence integration (PRD → test cases)
Connect Confluence and convert PRDs and Confluence pages directly into test cases.
Public shareable report links
Share any report through a public link so stakeholders without an Arcus account can view it.
Dataset selection for test cases & runs
Parameterize test cases using datasets, and pick the dataset you need when creating a test case or executing a run.
Requirement traceability report
Generate traceability reports across one or more requirements with a custom report name, including charts and a full traceability matrix.
Improvements
Run history in test-case details
Test cases now show their run history right on the details page, making it easier to track execution results across releases.
Multi-region data centers
EU and India data centers are now available alongside the existing US region to help meet regional compliance and data-residency requirements.
December 2025
Released December 22, 2025

Review workflows, notifications, and a dark theme


New features
Review Management at the project level
A structured review workflow for test cases: QA users submit cases for review, and reviewers approve or request rework with comments.
Notifications & collaboration integrations
Configurable notifications for key test events, delivered to Slack and Microsoft Teams for assignments, status changes, review updates, and more.
Comments on test cases
Inline commenting on test cases for discussion, feedback, and clarifications, including @-mentions for teammates.
Dark theme
Switch Arcus to a dark theme from settings.
Improvements
Dashboard enhancements
The dashboard now surfaces automation coverage, test-case type distribution, and review-related actions for better visibility into test quality.
Jira two-way sync improvements
Backlog items are fetched automatically into sprints, test runs are paginated on Jira, and the two-way sync UI has been refreshed.
Bulk edit for custom fields
Update custom fields across many test cases at once.
Preconditions in step templates
Add preconditions directly within step templates in your test cases.
Attachments in the Test Run API
Upload logs, screenshots, and other evidence through the test-run result APIs.

Testsigma automation sync, custom-field filters, and sorting


New features
Testsigma ↔ Arcus integration
Link manual test cases to automated test cases in Testsigma, automate Arcus cases with Testsigma Agents, connect test plans, trigger automated executions from Arcus, and sync results back automatically — a unified flow from manual design to automation, execution, and reporting.
Improvements
Custom field filters on the Test Cases page
Filter test cases by any custom field.
Custom field filters in dynamic runs
Combine custom fields with existing filters when creating dynamic runs to target regression, smoke, or release cycles precisely.
