Changes and Migration

In this section we explain which changes in the software affect project content and plugins in such a way that they have to be migrated.

What is affected?

Test projects by adding content (automatic adjustment)
Production plugins through API changes (manual adjustments necessary)

Upgrading test projects

When switching from Tecap 2019 Version 8.x to Tecap 20.1, new project content will be added that will require an update of the project file. These are new configuration options for the design of workflows. The project structure at the file level remains the same.

Production API assembly reference

Applies to: plugins with start processes, operator interfaces and test handling.

For easier use and further development, the MTQ.Tecap.Production.Extensibility.dll has been dissolved and the content has been moved to MTQ.Tecap.TestRunner.Extensibility.dll.

In the migration of plugins please remove MTQ.Tecap.Production.Extensibility.dll and add a reference to MTQ.Tecap.TestRunner.Extensibility.dll if you have not already done so.

The namespace can be replaced with Find/Replace: "MTQ.Tecap.Production" to "MTQ.Tecap.TestRunner".

TestRunner API, correction

Applies to: Test Handling Plugins

The ProcessAlarmAcknowledge API had a spelling error. The API is still new and not widely used, so we decised to go with the breaking change as not to manifest the error and not to create unnecessary 'obsoletes' from the beginning.

Workflow API, improvement

Applies to plugins with test handling, operator interfaces

The old workflow API had to be adapted as part of the feature expansion.

Name changes: The interface IWorkflowFacility is now called IWorkflowControlFacility. The interface has been cleaned up for wrong named methods.

The methods "ChangeTestSetup" are now correctly called "SelectTestSetup".
