Facilitated UAT (Private Preview) 

Facilitated UAT allows customers to leverage the existing automation and orchestration capabilities of the Rimo3 Cloud platform to provision a test environment with an application pre-installed, ready for a user to remotely connect to and complete full functional UAT testing on the application.  The result of the UAT section is captured and reported within the customers Rimo3 tenant along side the Intelligent Smoke Test result for the application. 

 

In the private preview you have the following options when provisioning a facilitated UAT test environment: 

• Associate a public IP address – for when networking doesn’t allow RDP access to the environment via a private IP address, or alternate remote connection options, such as Bastion, are not available. 
• Environment type – currently you can choose to provision the test environment using either the Target or AVD OS 
• E-mail users – a delimited list of users who will be included on comms regarding the provisioning of the test environment and who will also be provided with connection details for the test environment when it is ready. 

 

Once a user has connected to the test environment, they will be able to start testing the selected application.  A video of the facilitated UAT session will automatically be captured, additionally the following actions are also available via the Rimo3 Facilitated UAT desktop App: 

• Take notes – to document each step of the UAT process. 
• Take screenshots – to highlight key successes or failures of the UAT. 

At the end of the session a Pass or Fail result must be recorded and a detailed summary must be provided. 

 

More details of the Facilitated UAT process can be found here: Facilitated UAT (Private Preview) | Rimo3 Documentation 

To get access to the Facilitated UAT Private Preview please contact your account manager who can arrange for it to be enabled in your tenant. 

 

Capture as FlexApp One 

Capture as FlexApp One builds on the support for the FlexApp One package format that was made available in the Fraser release of the Rimo3 Cloud platform. 

 

The following package types in the Rimo3 Cloud platform can be modernized to FlexApp One: 

• MSI 
• Script 
• User 

FlexApp One packages will be created with a trial license, valid for 2 weeks if no license information is configured within your Rimo3 tenant.  If you already have a FlexApp One license this can be configured in your tenant settings and will be applied to FlexApp One packages when they are created. 

As part of adding support for modernizing application to the FlexApp One format the Modernization dashboard has been updated to include FlexApp One and has been given a refresh to reflect the look and feel of the Overview Dashboard. 

 

 

Import & reupload MSIX packages 

As part of the Ganges release it is now possible to onboard MSIX packages not created using the Rimo3 platform by either uploading them or importing them from SCCM.  Additionally, packages that were created using the Rimo3 platform, but needed remediation, can also be reuploaded to the platform for ongoing testing.  Please note the following with regards to uploading/importing and reuploading MSIX packages: 

• MSIX bundles are currently not supported. 
• Uploaded/imported and reuploaded MSIX packages must be signed with a valid code signing certificate. 
• Any code signing certificate required by an uploaded/imported or reuploaded MSIX that is not inherently trusted by Windows, e.g. an ISV’s code signing certificate, must be installed in the test environment, typically as part of a custom image.  
  
  

Consolidated Tenant settings page 

Previously Smoke Test settings and General settings were configured in separate locations; now along with the new FlexApp One settings, all settings have been consolidated on one Tenant settings page.
