What it is A design principle: WebSureQTool outputs plain files that you own and can reuse even if you stop subscribing. Why it’s needed - Organizations cannot risk losing automation when tools change or budgets shift. - Auditors and stakeholders need inspectable evidence, not screenshots and guesswork. - Engineering teams need artifacts that can be versioned in Git and shared across teams. Benefits - You keep your work: suites, datasets, results, and generated code (Pro). - Easier migrations: artifacts can be consumed by other tooling or custom pipelines. - Clear accountability: results are reproducible and reviewable. How to use it in WebSureQTool WebSureQTool stores suites as YAML and datasets as CSV/JSON in your Workspace. Each run can produce artifacts such as: - suite.yaml - dataset.csv / dataset.json - run.json - report.html (reports/history is Pro) - junit.xml (CI/CD friendly) Tip: commit suites/datasets into source control and archive run artifacts per release.
