Before you start: the AI Assistant is now off for every project until a project admin turns it on. Full notes for 2.8.1 →

2026 — the AI & Maximo release

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.

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. The mx.selenium.mode and mx.selenium.slow_down_level parameters 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, 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.
