Appvance IQ (AIQ) 5.3.11 Release Notes

Summary

Release 5.3.11 focuses on Performance reporting (Excel charts and an SLA compliance sheet), new Web Designer capabilities (readDoc, blob validation, Library Accessor logging), and Storage Manager and IDE reliability. It also adds an OTP code step, Chrome containerized support in Scenario Editor, and Enterprise licensing for GENI.

The release keeps to a familiar theme for AIQ: fewer manual steps between a test and an answer. The new performance reporting is the clearest example — a completed run now arrives as a shareable Excel view with charts and SLA compliance, so results can go straight to stakeholders instead of being rebuilt by hand.
