We're happy to announce Kiwi TCMS version 5.3.1! This release brings lots of UI updates and removal of unused and/or duplicated functionality and source code. Many pages have been redesigned with the Patternfly library to have a modern look and feel which you can experience at https://public.tenant.kiwitcms.org.
This will be the last release to carry around squashed migrations. In version 6.0 older migrations will be deleted and replaced with their squashed equivalents. Upgrades from versions < 5.3 to 6.0 will break without an intermediate upgrade to 5.3.1!
Use pub.kiwitcms.eu/kiwitcms/kiwi:5.3.1 from Docker Hub when upgrading at some point in the future!

Kiwi TCMS is now using the 'kiwi-tcms' tag on StackOverflow to track questions. Please submit your support requests and general questions to StackOverflow tagged with the 'kiwi-tcms' tag! Support requests via GitHub or email will not be answered anymore (GitHub issues are for bugs or feature discussions only)!
We are planning to convert https://public.tenant.kiwitcms.org into a subscription based service for people who don't want to bother installing Kiwi TCMS on their own systems and just want to use it for test collaboration with their team.
The income from this service will go towards covering operating costs and supporting the development team. Watch this blog for further announcements about this. Meanwhile you may share your thoughts via Issue #515.
TestRun.product_version will be removed from the database schema in favor of TestRun.plan.product_version! With the latest web interface it is not possible to select a product version different than the one selected in the Test Plan. Test runs should only be able to select product builds (after Issue #246 is fixed).
TestRun.estimated_time is scheduled for removal if not used. Objections and use-cases must be shared via Issue #514.
EnvGroup and EnvProperty models are scheduled for removal in favor of Tag. Internally tags are referenced in more places inside Kiwi TCMS' source code and they appear to be more fully developed. On the other hand while environment appears very similar to tags it is not exactly the same. Ongoing discussion is happening via Issue #484.
We're happy to announce Kiwi TCMS version 5.2! This release introduces new database migrations and converts the Docker image to a non-root user with uid 1001. You may have to adjust ownership/permissions on the kiwi_uploads Docker volume!

We're happy to announce Kiwi TCMS version 4.0.0 and the corresponding tcms-api version 4.0.0! This is a very big release which introduces tons of backwards incompatible changes to the RPC layer as well as several bug-fixes and enhancements!
With this release Kiwi TCMS meets one of our milestones for 2018! All XML-RPC namespaces now match DB model names and the API client class names. Lots of similar and duplicate methods were removed and existing ones were simplified. We've also reduced code duplication and technical debth by 1 month according to stats by CodeClimate.
IMPORTANT: this is also the first release to officially publish the
pub.kiwitcms.eu/kiwitcms/kiwi container image!
WARNING: upgrading to Kiwi TCMS 4.0.0 means you will have to upgrade the tcms-api client as well. None of the 4.x releases is compatible with older releases due to the massive ammount of changes in the RPC layer.

Hello everyone. As you know Kiwi TCMS has been around for a while and it has gone through some big changes in the last year! It started as an abandoned Django 1.6 project with broken test suite and is now currently running on the latest Django 2.0.1 with Python 3.5! It is clearly a legacy code base!
We, the Kiwi TCMS team, have learned a lot more about the project and this blog post describes our roadmap for 2018 in terms of technical work and community engagement. The general technical direction is cleaner/simpler code, improved UI/UX and more tests!
The current code is a bunch of very large modules and functions and classes bundled together. It is also old and sometimes looks like spaghetti code. CodeClimate gives us a "D" rating for maintainability with a 1 year estimated effort to fix that. There are 600+ code smells and 600+ duplications detected by CodeClimate. Our goal is to get this number down to zero!
pylint is the standard static analyzer for Python and currently it reports over 4000 errors and warnings when executed against Kiwi TCMS. This is a huge number and it needs to become zero! We've also identified interesting patterns that will make it into pylint and pylint-django plugins!
The current state of affairs is a mix and match of everything. There are views that render HTML, others which return pure JSON, other which return HTML encoded as JSON string and probably everything in between. Views that render pages need to do just that and views that are used with AJAX calls from the UI need to return pure JSON! A lot of these are hiding in plain sight and will come to light when we start overhauling the user interface.
There are lots of forms in Kiwi TCMS. Sometimes they are submitted by the user and other times they are serialized and POSTed by some JavaScript code. This isn't very easy to understand plus this entire home-grown utility code doesn't bring anything useful to the project. All of these need to be identified and cleaned up. JavaScript code needs to send or consume JSON, nothing else!
There are also lots of places where Kiwi issues GET requests with a number of query parameters. Our goal is to minimize these and where possible have the parameters as part of the Django urls scheme, not as query strings.
The current API module is a bit disorganized. API namespaces don't match the names of the underlying DB models and the API client classes don't match any of the other two! The way we pass parameters and what these parameters are named should match between the client, the RPC method and the underlying model!
In earlier releases we've removed duplicate or similar RPC methods and we think there are more of these that need our love.
We've started producing documentation from doc-strings and most of the RPC methods have such. However it is unformatted and barely readable, sometimes even inaccurate. Previous releases made progress on this but there's a lot more to cover.
All RPC methods should be documented first and then the rest of Kiwi's internals to make development easier!
There are 11 vendored-in JavaScript files that we carry around in Kiwi TCMS. Most notable are jQuery plus a few addons and Handlebars.js. To the extent possible our goal is to use jQuery provided by Django or installed via NPM dependencies!
There are over 100 HTML templates in Kiwi TCMS. There are also email and even
JavaScript templates. For example there are get_cases.html and get_review_cases.html
which are essentially the same. This is kind of also true for templates used in
new and edit views! Such templates should be unified!
Those JavaScript templates need to be totally gone!
All templates are stuffed together in a single directory and their names are not very predictable. They need to be split per application and follow some kind of naming convention.
The UI already uses the Patternfly library for some of its widgets. Most notably the main navigation header. Our goal is for the entire UI to be ported to Patternfly by updating widgets HTML and CSS where needed. This will also help clean things up a lot. At the same time we'll be rethinking how information is organized on screen and how the person interacts with it! Usability suggestions are very welcome!
This move will also help us get rid of the Handlebars dependency which is now used for pop-up dialogs.
There's lots of JavaScript code on the front-end and honestly we don't quite know what it does or how it is organized. There are also no tests on the front-end whatsoever!
It is our goal for this to change with the intention to not overdo the JavaScript part and keep things very minimal. At the moment we're thinking about vanilla jQuery that will act as a proxy between the browser and the back-end!
A year ago hardly anybody knew what Kiwi TCMS was, the project didn't even have this name, there was 1 active contributor and hardly any users! Now the community has started to slowly revitalize, we're seeing some contributions from our junior team members (more on this in another blog post) and also seeing folks installing and using Kiwi TCMS and reporting interesting bugs and feature requests around it!
For the upcoming year our goal is to seek active engagement with other open source projects that could make use of Kiwi TCMS and work with them. Kudos to openSUSE for being the first to propose such integration! We're also planning couple of appearances at a few conferences but there's nothing confirmed yet.
Every other contribution in terms of bug reports, new users and feature requests is of course welcome but we're very conscious of the fact that there's tons of work to be done and the team is still very small!
Team wise we'd like to get the existing team members up to speed and tackle the above tasks with priority. This will also help us introduce bug fixes and new features more quickly!
Happy testing!
Happy New Year to everyone. We're happy to announce Kiwi TCMS version 3.49 and the corresponding tcms-api version 1.5.0! This release includes a fair amount of bug fixes and many changes related to Kiwi's RPC layer!
Most importantly Kiwi is updated to Django 2.0.1, the API client no longer supports Python 2 and many RPC methods have been removed or updated. https://public.tenant.kiwitcms.org has also been updated so you can explore the new version.
TCMSEnvValue records by property name and value. Fixes
Issue #155NOTE: Since django-attachments introduces new permission objects
you will have to adjust default permissions for existing users!
In order for them to be able to upload/delete their own files they
need to have attachments.add_attachment and atachments.delete_attachment
permissions.
These same permissions are added by default to the 'Tester' group. If you are running an existing installation registering a new user with Kiwi TCMS will update the default permissions for this group!

We are happy to announce the first official release of the tcms-api package! This is a Python client for Kiwi TCMS.
There are couple of main distinctions in this module:
For more information you should check-out the documentation
and the script_examples/ directory.
At the moment the API client is both Python2 and Python3 compatible, however it is tested only under Python3!
The original API client, like Kiwi TCMS itself began its origin under a different name and was created primarily by Petr Splichal. Since then Kiwi TCMS has evolved and we've decided that the API module needs to evolve as well. At the moment the tcms-api module is a bit rough around the edges, its documentation is not really the best one and it's currently advisable to spend some time reading the code to figure out how everything works.
We're going to improve on all of these areas and we need help from the community
to do so! Please download the tcms-api module, check it out, write and contribute
example scripts (you can use the demo site for this), send us bug reports, suggestions
and pull requests!
Happy testing!
We're proud to announce Kiwi TCMS version 3.48! This is the first release to be announced on our blog and it is also an important one!
Kiwi TCMS 3.48 introduces new versions of Django and Patternfly, a Python API client library, many bug-fixes and updated documentation.
tcms_api/script_examples/ for examples how to use it.CACHE_NONE if not set. (Mr. Senko)IMPORTANT: this release introduces new database migrations!
NOTE: the API client has been initially developed as the python-nitrate project by Petr Splichal and other contributors! We've decided to fork their code base into Kiwi's repository and continue further development in a central place. This makes it easier testing the API server and client together and allows us to move more rapidly!
As of now there isn't a lot of documentation and examples on how to use the API client but we are looking to improve this. Additional documentation and examples will be published in the project's repository or on this blog!
