Quality Clouds v13 for ServiceNow


Version 13.0.0 represents a significant step forward in how teams manage quality across the ServiceNow lifecycle. This release introduces a redesigned Quality Center, built to unify development tracking, release governance, and instance health into a single, coherent workspace.

The focus of this version is simple: reduce friction, increase visibility, and automate quality wherever possible.

Quality Center – One Workspace, Complete Visibility

The new Quality Center brings everything together, giving you full visibility and control across development, releases, and instance health.

Whether you’re writing code, reviewing changes, or monitoring quality, all the tools and insights you need are now in one place.

You can now also interact with Quality Clouds directly via chat within the Quality Center, allowing you to ask questions, get guidance, and understand quality issues in context, without leaving your workflow.

🧩Development Tracking – Built for Developers

The Development Tracking view is designed as a focused workspace for developers to manage their work efficiently. The view is filtered by the logged-in user, ensuring only relevant data is displayed.

Key capabilities include:

  • Tracking all changes in the current update set, as well as any other update sets you have created or contributed to
  • Running ServiceNow Instance Scans directly from the element view
  • Viewing and tracking Peer Review requests and their statuses
  • Accessing issues from LiveChecks, HealthScans, and Instance Scans in one consolidated view
  • Reviewing enriched Best Practices with detailed rule descriptions and thresholds to identify and resolve issues faster

This view brings development data and quality insights together, reducing context switching and improving productivity.

🌟Release Tracking – Confidence Before Promotion

The Release Tracking view provides a clear, data-driven overview of all in-progress update sets.

From a single dashboard, teams can:

  • Monitor release quality and identify which update sets pass or fail the Quality Gate
  • Trigger LiveChecks and request Peer Reviews directly from the Release Tracking screen
  • Review Update Set–related issues through enhanced QC pop-ups
  • Access related lists and Update Set KPIs for full traceability across the release lifecycle

This ensures every release is reviewed, validated, and ready for promotion with confidence.

📚 Instance Tracking – Clear, Actionable Health Insights

The Instance Tracking view simplifies how teams monitor instance health and stability.

Key features include:

  • A unified dashboard showing all Full Scan issues
  • Separate tabs for filtering issues by Open, Written Off, or Closed status.
  • Quickly locate issues using the new Instance Filter and dedicated Full Scan issue form.
  • Immediate visibility into instance KPIs via the Instance Overview tab
  • Agile 2.0 integration to create Stories and Defects directly from the Quality Center

This view provides a real-time picture of instance quality, helping teams identify and address issues early.

🚀 Smarter Checks & Expanded Coverage

Version 13.0.0 expands the app’s automation and coverage to support more adaptive and secure quality management:

  • QC LiveCheck auto-trigger, A new QC LiveCheck auto-trigger automatically starts new checks once all related issues are written off, keeping your instance continuously validated.
  • Support for new AI Configuration Elements:sn_aia_usecase, sn_aia_tool, sys_gen_ai_skill, sn_aia_agent
  • Introduction of a Pooling System that retrieves LiveCheck status and issue data without requiring a read/write user, supporting customers with strict access controls

App Improvements & Stability Enhancements

📌 Summary

Quality Clouds for ServiceNow Version 13 delivers a more connected, automated, and reliable Quality Center, helping customers to maintain quality across their entire lifecycle with less effort and more confidence.

Product Release 26.01

What’s New for You

Added

  • ServiceNow Fix Scripts Inventory Coverage
    ServiceNow Fix Scripts are now included in the inventory and analyzed as part of both Livecheck and Full Scan. Issues are identified based on the full set of applicable server-side scripting best practices, including OOTB modification rules, giving customers broader coverage and greater confidence that Fix Scripts meet quality and maintainability standards.

🌟 Improved

  • Teams Assignment Rules – Rule-Based Assignment Criteria
    Teams assignment rules now support Rule as a new assignment criterion, enabling customers to automatically route issues from Full Scans to the most relevant teams based on the rule that triggered them. This ensures clearer ownership, reduces manual coordination, and accelerates remediation by aligning issues with the teams best equipped to address them.

  • KPI Accuracy – Exclusion of False Positive Write-Offs
    Issues marked with a write-off reason of False Positive are now excluded from all KPIs, including issue counts, Technical Debt, and Quality of Cloud. This ensures that metrics reflect only valid issues, giving customers greater confidence in their KPIs and enabling more accurate tracking of quality, risk, and remediation progress.

📚 Rules

New – Salesforce (Visual Force Pages)

  • Avoid Calling Visualforce Actions on Page Load
    Rule ID: SF-AVOID-ACTION-UPON-LOAD
    This rule detects Visualforce pages that call actions automatically on page load, which increases exposure to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. Enforcing this rule helps reduce security risk by ensuring actions are triggered only through explicit and secure user interactions.

  • Ensure Correct Encoding in Visualforce Style Tags
    Rule ID: SF-AVOID-STYLE-WRONG-ENCODING
    This rule checks for correct encoding in <style/> tags within Visualforce pages. Incorrect encoding can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Applying this rule helps prevent script injection through styles and strengthens front-end security.

  • Avoid Unescaped User-Controlled Values in Expression Language
    Rule ID: SF-AVOID-UNESCAPED-VALUES
    This rule identifies unescaped, user-controlled content used in Expression Language (EL). Using unescaped values can result in XSS vulnerabilities. Enforcing proper escaping helps teams protect applications from common injection attacks.

🔌 Fixed

  • Copy Ruleset in the Admin Portal
    Fixed an issue that prevented rulesets from being copied between instances in the Admin Portal. The Copy Ruleset functionality now works as expected, allowing customers to reliably copy rulesets across instances and maintain consistent configurations.

New Rules released

🚀 Here are the newly released rules that have been released:

Salesforce – OperationWithHighCostInLoop

Rule ID: SF-AVOID-OPERATION-WITH-HIGH-COST-IN-LOOP – Prevents calling high-cost performance methods inside loops, as repeated calls can slow down application performance, especially in large organizations. To optimize efficiency, extract these method calls outside the loop and execute them only once.

Salesforce – AvoidNonRestrictiveQueries

Rule ID: SF-AVOID-NON-RESTRICTIVE-QUERIES – Prevents using unfiltered SOQL or SOSL queries, which can retrieve excessive data, leading to governor limit exceptions and impacting application stability. To optimize performance, always apply filters to limit the data retrieved.

Salesforce – QueueableWithoutFinalizer

Rule ID: SF-AVOID-QUEUEABLE-WITHOUT-FINALIZER – Prevents using the Queueable interface without a Finalizer, ensuring proper error recovery. Without a Finalizer, failures in Queueable actions can cause unhandled errors. To improve reliability, attach a Finalizer using System.attachFinalizer(Finalizer f).

Improved XLS exports

🚀 We’ve enhanced XLS exports to make sure files reach the right recipients.

⚡Now, when exporting issues, a notification will display the recipient’s email address, allowing you to confirm before sending and avoid accidental misdelivery.

This update gives you greater visibility and control, ensuring a more reliable export process.

User Management & Partners Accounts

🚀 As a Partner, you can now manage multiple accounts using the same email address while having unique usernames for each account.

🔐 This update enhances flexibility in account management and ensures secure password recovery using both the email and username.

⚠️ Please note: this upgrade will not change the Quality Clouds Ruleset—no new rules will be added, and your ignored rules remain unaffected.

Debt Manager Enhacement

🚀 We are strengthening Debt Manager by expanding information visibility, refining access, and enabling more effective user actions such as:

👉 Write-Off Access Control

Admins will enable or disable Write-Off permissions per user, ensuring only authorized users can see and perform Write-Off actions.

🎯 Issue ID Visibility across Environments

The “Also Spotted In” tab will display an Issue ID column, making it easier to track the same issue across environments.

 

 

✅ We are working to implement more rules related to strengthening security, enforcing governance, and ensuring compliance across environments. They are designed to:

  • Protect sensitive data
  • Reduce vulnerabilities
  • Standardize best practices
  • Support governance at scale
