test.guide was developed with our customers’ requirements very much in mind and has provided significant value in dedicated test and validation environments for many years.
However, with software-defined vehicle development, the scale of the challenge has changed. Today, customers must connect integration, testing, validation, verification, and delivery across more teams, domains, programs, and toolchains. A powerful test and validation application alone is no longer sufficient for this. A modular platform foundation is needed that can scale enterprise-wide.
That is the reason for the transfer to one:cx.
one:cx builds on the experience and capabilities of test.guide, but integrates them into a broader architecture for modern SDV development: modular editions, clearer role- and user-group orientation, scalable APIs, cloud-ready deployment options, workflow automation, and future AI-powered features.
For existing customers, this is a controlled evolution, not a forced restart. The migration path is designed to protect existing investments, accommodate current workflows, and enable a phased rollout.

General Information
test.guide is not being discontinued, but will become a core component of our new one:cx solution. All of test.guide’s proven features (e.g., test report management, release management, artifact management) will remain, but will be integrated into the modern, modular one:cx platform.
As a result, test.guide will no longer be offered as a standalone product for new customers. It will be fully embedded into one:cx, allowing you to continue using all the familiar features, while benefiting from advanced AI capabilities, cloud scalability, and a powerful data analysis agent. For us, this is a step toward future-proof test automation for complex software projects.
Existing customers
There is no immediate need for action. test.guide can be used as usual.
We’ll contact you by the end of your license period at the latest to work with you on planning a suitable migration path.
If you’d like to find out more about one:cx at an early stage, we offer:
- Personal product demonstrations
- Technical evaluations
- Joint migration planning
Please feel free to contact us at sales@tracetronic.com.
The test.guide license can be renewed one last time at the end of 2026. It will then remain valid until the end of 2027.
Until then:
- test.guide will remain fully operational
- We are supporting our customers in planning the migration to one:cx
Starting in 2028, renewal will no longer be possible. We recommend switching to one:cx before the license period expires to ensure full access to new features and support.
All test.guide features are included in one:cx , but are tied to the respective edition (connect, flow, scale, enterprise). Example:
- connect: Core features such as test report management and release overviews.
- flow: Workflow automation and native ALM integration (e.g., Jira, Polarion) in the form of a framework — including test resource booking and intelligent infrastructure detection.
- scale: Cloud-native scalability for large and cross-functional teams.
- enterprise: The full range of features for unlimited use within your organization.
The complete feature set for all editions is available here.
1. License extension through the end of 2027: Take advantage of the final license extension through the end of 2027. During this period and beyond, your team will have the option to migrate to one:cx.
2. Direct migration to one:cx: Benefit directly from the advantages of the one:cx platform.
3. Customized consultation: Our experts will create a tailored solution for your team’s needs. Contact us for a personal consultation at sales@tracetronic.com.
You can use test.guide until December 31, 2027. After this date, your license expires and you will no longer have access to your test data, personal settings, and views. If you do not switch to one:cx, please back up your test data by December 31, 2027. If you decide to switch to one:cx at a later date, our team will support you in planning a suitable migration path.
No. There are no plans for a maintenance mode or security updates for test.guide. Additionally, support for test.guide will end in late 2027. Migrating to one:cx is the only way to continue ensuring secure and optimized testing processes.
We will contact you again by the end of 2027 to work with you on finding a solution. We recommend migrating to one:cx as soon as possible.
You can use test.guide until December 31, 2027. After this date, it will no longer be available.

As part of the migration, we will work together to review how existing configurations can be optimally integrated into one:cx.
The typical migration process consists of three steps:
1. Analysis of the Existing Environment
- Current test.guide usage
- Integrations
- Infrastructure
- Workflows
- Definition of the target architecture
- Selection of the appropriate one:cx edition
- Migration of relevant data
- Customization of workflows
- Integration into existing toolchains
Our team will support you throughout the entire process.
With one:cx, your team benefits from:
