Fresh out of a new funding round 🥳 we welcome summer 2023 with a new exciting release on the heels of our announcement week!
New Features
(1) Recurring tasks
Some tasks you want your testers to perform over and over again once they reach that task in the flow. With recurring tasks, you can achieve that while capturing your tester feedback at every instance they’re performing this recurring task.
A recurring task on the tester side, keeping each round as its own entry, with every round's answers grouped together in the results
(2) Sentiment Analysis
When you run a beta program, you will have multiple open text feedback steps. Collecting the raw feedback is essential but also getting the sentiment of the feedback is also important. With Sentiment Analysis, you can filter the positive or negative sentiment feedback so you can quickly drill down and read the associated raw feedback. It’s a great measurement of how your product and program are perceived by your testers

(3) Customize Tester invitation Email
Now you can customize the invitation email coming from Stomio to your tester by navigating to the new onboarding section in your beta.
The Onboarding section, where the invitation email is written using variables for the manager and beta name
(4) Manual publish of changes to tasks after beta is launched
After a beta is launched, adding new steps or changing steps to an existing task is not auto-published. Managers control when they want to publish those changes.
Edits to a running beta's tasks held as changes, with Undo changes and Publish in the corner
Improvements
(1) Performance improvements
We invested a good amount of resources to improve the performance of the platform in terms of latency. More improvements coming next.
(2) Stomio QA is now fully automated end to end
We invested a significant amount of time automating the entire platform when it comes to quality assurance. This will increase our feature velocity going forward as newly developed features will also have automated QA tests.
(3) Action buttons for a public ticket is more visible for testers
We noticed that +1 and Follow buttons in public tickets is not easily noticeable so we improved the design to make it more visible.

(4) Tester beta onboarding
When a tester gets invited to a new beta, they can see the name of the beta in their sign up page so they have more context on what they’re signing up for.
