2026 — the AI & Maximo release Current
The 2026 line reorients MaxTAF around AI-assisted authoring and Maximo/MXML, and reorganises the whole interface.
New
- AI test cases — a new case type written in plain English and executed by an AI agent driving a real browser, with optional recording into a reusable MXML case. See Writing AI Test Cases.
- AI Assistant — an in-app chat helper for writing and debugging test code, with a separate chat per case/suite and a usage quota. See User Guide.
- AI Configuration — connect Claude, Gemini, OpenAI or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint under Project Settings, including a code-submission privacy mode. See AI configuration.
- MXML as a first-class case type — the Script tab now has MXML | JAVA sub-tabs so you can author in MXML and inspect the transpiled Java. Full MXML Reference published.
- Convert MXML to Java — a Workspace action to transpile a case to Java.
- Platforms & mobile — cases carry a Platform (Web / Android / iOS); Android and iOS engine indicators appear in the status bar. See Mobile testing.
- Home dashboard — a configurable widget dashboard is now the first screen inside a project.
- Named parameter configurations — save multiple parameter sets per case (the Config dropdown on a case's Main tab).
- Live engine/quota status bar — AI-chat and run quotas plus web/Android/iOS engine health at the bottom of the screen.
- Recorder — the MaxTAF Universal Recorder (v2.x) generates MXML cases and uploads them straight into a project; it can be driven headlessly by AI test cases. See the Recorder Guide.
Changed
- Navigation reorganised into grouped rails: Dev (Workspace, File System, Parameters), Ops (Suites, Schedules, Runs), Admin (Project & User Settings) and Learn (AI Chat, Documentation, Support).
- Maximo-first framing — cases and parameters now centre on Maximo/MXML (e.g.
mx.maximo.address) rather than the earlier Selenium-only examples. Themx.selenium.modeandmx.selenium.slow_down_levelparameters are documented as actively used. - Parameters consolidated — a single Parameters page under Dev (previously duplicated across two locations).
- Project Settings gains an Unauthorized requests action and the AI Configuration tab.
Documentation
- The user guide was rebuilt and verified against the live product, with 2026 screenshots.
- New guides published: AI Test Cases, Recorder, MXML Reference, REST API, CI/CD, On-Premises Installation, Security & Compliance, Maximo Playbook, Troubleshooting and a Glossary.
Earlier
MaxTAF Cloud's core capabilities — cases, suites, schedules, runs, parameters, data-driven testing, sharing, page objects (including UTAM), Allure reporting and project backup/restore — predate this release line and continue to work as described in the User Guide.
