What is Nautobot?

Nautobot 3.3 alpha 2 adds test helpers and a cable location filter after 3.2.9's token-leak fix.

Nautobot's 3.2 and 2.4 lines still ship same-day security releases every two weeks; on November 9 v3.2.9 and v2.4.46 fixed a flaw where the Export Object List job let users read other users' API token keys. The 3.3 feature line opened the same day with REST API rate limiting and JSON and YAML exports. v3.3.0a2 on November 13 mostly adds Playwright helpers for App test suites, along with a location filter on the cable connection form and a fix for a login page that reloaded every 15 seconds.

What is Testomat.io?

Testomat.io is wiring its test management into AI chat clients and turning screenshots into test cases.

Testomat.io ships a large roundup roughly monthly. MCP Server 3.0 in October connects ChatGPT and Claude on the web directly to test projects without local setup, and the latest release generates test descriptions from screenshots and adds Plane and Linear integrations.

Nautobot 3.3 alpha 2 adds test helpers and a cable location filter after 3.2.9's token-leak fix.

◆ Current state

Nautobot's 3.2 and 2.4 lines still ship same-day security releases every two weeks; on November 9 v3.2.9 and v2.4.46 fixed a flaw where the Export Object List job let users read other users' API token keys. The 3.3 feature line opened the same day with REST API rate limiting and JSON and YAML exports. v3.3.0a2 on November 13 mostly adds Playwright helpers for App test suites, along with a location filter on the cable connection form and a fix for a login page that reloaded every 15 seconds.

◆ Where it's heading

3.3 is moving through alphas quickly, four days apart, while the security audit continues on the stable lines. The Playwright helpers suggest Nautobot wants App developers to test against its UI with shared tooling rather than custom scripts.

◆ Prediction

More 3.3 alphas or a beta should follow within weeks, alongside the next pair of 3.2.x and 2.4.x security releases on the two-week rhythm.

5.0

Testomat.io is wiring its test management into AI chat clients and turning screenshots into test cases.

◆ Current state

Testomat.io ships a large roundup roughly monthly. MCP Server 3.0 in October connects ChatGPT and Claude on the web directly to test projects without local setup, and the latest release generates test descriptions from screenshots and adds Plane and Linear integrations.

◆ Where it's heading

AI is spreading through every step of test authoring and analysis: voice dictation, screenshot-to-test, AI test data and analytics chat. The MCP server has moved from a local tool to a hosted connector, so test data is reachable from general-purpose assistants.

◆ Prediction

Expect more AI authoring inputs and broader issue-tracker integrations in the next monthly roundup.
