# Service Test Management release notes

The ServiceNow® Service Test Management application helps to define, run, and monitor service tests in real time. See the following sections for release notes by version.

## About Service Test Management

-   Create test definitions with configurable parameters, such as test type, frequency, duration, and target entities, and reuse pre-defined templates.
-   Map test groups to a specification or product model, and run each group either automated or manual.
-   Establish test measures and threshold rules so agents can run instant tests and diagnostics, with decision tables controlling which diagnostics pages appear on task records.

See [Service Test Management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/telecom-media-technology/stm-landing-page.md) for more information.

## Version 8.2.1

Map Test Group characteristics to Test Definition characteristics and run test definitions conditionally, so Test Run data flows through automatically to support fault isolation and repair decisions.

### What's changed

-   ****

    Add characteristics directly to Test Groups, map product specifications to the Test Group that should run. Propagate those values to Test Definitions through attribute mapping and decomposition rules. The right tests run with the correct inputs for each product, reducing manual configuration and errors.
