Returning {return_group_result,failed} from end_per_group in a group that is part of a sequence, did not cause the proceeding cases (or groups) to get skipped. This has been fixed.

Common Test has been updated to handle start options and test specification terms for test case groups (and test cases in groups). Also, an option named 'label', has been added that associates the test run with a name that Common Test prints in the overview HTML logs.

It is now possible to skip all tests in a suite, or a group, by returning {fail,Reason} from the end_tc/5 framework function for init_per_suite, or init_per_group.

Returning {fail,Reason} from the framework end_tc function was not handled properly by Test Server for all test suite functions.

If the framework end_tc function would hang and get aborted by Test Server, there was no indication of failure in the logs. This has been fixed.
Own Id: OTP-8682 Aux Id: seq11504
It is now possible for the Test Server framework end_tc function to change the status of the test case from ok or auto-skipped to failed by returning {fail,Reason}.
Own Id: OTP-8495 Aux Id: seq11502
Test Server will now call the end_per_testcase/2 function even if the test case has been terminated explicitly (with abort_current_testcase/1), or after a timetrap timeout. Under these circumstances the return value of end_per_testcase is completely ignored. Therefore the function will not be able to change the reason for test case termination by returning {fail,Reason}, nor will it be able to save data with {save_config,Data}.

Previously, a repeat property of a test case group specified the number of times the group should be repeated after the main test run. I.e. {repeat,N} would case the group to execute 1+N times. To be consistent with the behaviour of the run_test repeat option, this has been changed. N now specifies the absolute number of executions instead.

The Test Server parse transform did not handle bit string comprehensions. This has been fixed.

The tc_status value in the Config list for a test case that has failed because of a timetrap timeout, has changed from {tc_status,timeout} to {tc_status,timetrap_timeout}.

The documentation is now possible to build in an open source environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process.
- The arity calculation is updated.
- The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2" instead of "http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2".
- Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded.
- A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan)
- The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.

If the init_per_testcase/2 function fails, the test case now gets marked and counted as auto skipped, not user skipped (which would previously happen).

The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

It is now possible to fail a test case from the end_per_testcase/2 function, by returning {fail,Reason}.

It is now possible to fail a test case by having the end_tc/3 framework function return {fail,Reason} for the test case.

The test_server framework API (e.g. the end_tc/3 function) has been modified. See the test_server_ctrl documentation for details.

When running a suite starting with a test case group, Test Server crashed if init_per_suite/1 exited or returned skip. This has been fixed.

Various updates and fixes in Common Test and Test Server.
Own Id: OTP-8045 Aux Id: OTP-8089,OTP-8105,OTP-8163
Errors in coverage data collection and analysis were difficult to detect. The logging has been improved so that more information about e.g. imported and missing modules is printed to the html log files.
Own Id: OTP-8163 Aux Id: seq11374
The Common Test HTML overview pages have been improved. It is now possible to see if a test case has been skipped explicitly or because a configuration function has failed. Also, the history page (all_runs.html) now has scrolling text displaying the test names. The old format (showing names as a truncated string) can still be generated by means of the flag/option 'basic_html'.

The conf case in Test Server has been extended with properties that make it possible to execute test cases in parallel, in sequence and in shuffled order. It is now also possible to repeat test cases according to different criterias. The properties can be combined, making it possible to e.g. repeat a conf case a certain number of times and execute the test cases in different (random) order every time. The properties are specified in a list in the conf case definition: {conf, Properties, InitCase, TestCases, EndCase}. The available properties are: parallel, sequence, shuffle, repeat, repeat_until_all_ok, repeat_until_any_ok, repeat_until_any_fail, repeat_until_all_fail.

The Erlang mode for Emacs has been updated with new and modified skeletons for Common Test and TS. Syntax for test case groups in Common Test (and conf cases with properties in TS) has been added and a new minimal Common Test suite skeleton has been introduced.

Miscellaneous updates.

When a testcase terminated due to a timetrap, io sent to the group leader from framework:end_tc/3 (using ct:pal/2/3 or ct:log/2/3) would cause deadlock. This has been fixed.

Test Server is a portable test server for automated application testing. The server can run test suites on local or remote targets and log progress and results to HTML pages. The main purpose of Test Server is to act as engine inside customized test tools. A callback interface for such framework applications is provided.
