Subject:  General Availability Announcement for Agile Requirements Designer

On behalf of Broadcom, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide you with high-quality, innovative software and services.  As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly release updated versions of our products. Today, we are pleased to announce that Agile Requirements Designer 3.5 is now available. 

New features for Agile Requirements Designer 3.5 include:

• Swagger Import for API Testing: Simplify the creation of test models by importing Swagger files directly into ARD. The new feature automatically generates test flows, sets up properties, and provides scripts for API test automation using curl. This enhancement enables faster API testing and model-based test generation.

• Hub Flow Revisions: This new feature introduces version control for Hub flows, allowing you to manage, track, and maintain revision histories. You can now open, lock/unlock, and manage revisions with greater ease, enhancing overall project consistency.

• Command Line Optimizer Access: Gain flexibility in your testing workflows by running the Optimizer directly from the command line. You can automatically generate new sets of paths with full coverage and save updated flows, streamlining testing processes.

• Enhanced Flow Loading: Complex flows now load significantly faster, providing a more efficient workflow.

• New Keyboard Shortcuts: We’ve added new shortcuts to improve efficiency in your day-to-day activities. 

• Improved Search and Replace: The search functionality has been enhanced in various areas, including automation steps and configuration dialogs, with new "Replace" and "Replace All" options for improved usability.

• Customizable Process Block Shapes: Now you can customize the shapes of process blocks to visually differentiate them in your workflows. This feature provides more flexibility in how you represent flows.

• Simplified Value Mapping: The new interface makes it easier to manage valid values in global configurations, simplifying the setup process.

• Interactive Text Editor for Constraints: The updated Text Editor allows you to create and manage constraints more efficiently, maintaining formatting and providing descriptions.

• Automation Configuration from Connector Dock: Quickly edit automation configuration by double-clicking on actions directly from the Connector Dock.
