What is Qase?
Qase ships a real but quarterly TMS changelog, threaded by its AIDEN automation agent
Qase publishes genuine product updates, but only quarterly, so each entry is a bundled roundup rather than a single release. The through-line across quarters is AIDEN, its AI test-automation agent (RBAC, code download, CI/CD, smart data), alongside steady TMS depth in QQL querying, shared steps, dashboards, and integrations. The latest Q3 2026 quarter is lighter: password-protected dashboard sharing, dashboard cloning, and an MCP 2.0 that consolidates its existing agent tools.
What is Velociraptor?
Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.
Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

Qase ships a real but quarterly TMS changelog, threaded by its AIDEN automation agent
◆ Current state
Qase publishes genuine product updates, but only quarterly, so each entry is a bundled roundup rather than a single release. The through-line across quarters is AIDEN, its AI test-automation agent (RBAC, code download, CI/CD, smart data), alongside steady TMS depth in QQL querying, shared steps, dashboards, and integrations. The latest Q3 2026 quarter is lighter: password-protected dashboard sharing, dashboard cloning, and an MCP 2.0 that consolidates its existing agent tools.
◆ Where it's heading
Qase is building toward agent-native, AI-assisted test management — AIDEN generating and maintaining automated tests, an MCP server exposing the platform to external agents, and QQL/dashboards giving teams programmable visibility. The quarterly bundling makes velocity read as lumpy; the real momentum is the AIDEN and MCP investment compounding release over release.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next quarters to keep deepening AIDEN's autotest generation and the MCP surface, plus incremental QQL and dashboard work. The Q3 slowdown may just be the quarterly rhythm rather than a stall.
Velociraptor
0.0INFRA · APIS
Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.
◆ Current state
Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.
◆ Where it's heading
Since June the project has been in security mode, fixing CVEs on the current line and backporting to the previous one. Feature work shows up as new artifacts, here an Azure Monitor export, which keeps Velociraptor feeding results into the logging tools teams already use.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 0.77 patch releases and possibly another backport if new CVEs are published; the timing of a 0.78 feature release is not signaled here.
