VS Magicdate string with escape char is not working in DevTest 10.3 or newer

Products

• CA Application Test
• CA Continuous Application Insight (PathFinder)
• Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

The below Magic date string is not working in DevTest 10.3 and newer versions but same is working fine in previous versions 
{{=doDateDeltaFromCurrent("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sss'Z'","0H");/*2017-06-05T11:47:58.801Z*/}}

Environment

All supported DevTest versions

Cause

In the previous versions of DevTest it was parsed differently.  The change was made to fix issues relating to timezone and differences between using z and Z. 
Java's SimpleDateFormat parser will not parse with the sss  for milliseconds as in  yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sss'Z' .

The parser wants minutes.seconds.milliseconds

mm -> minutes
ss -> seconds
SSS -> milliseconds.

Resolution

Change the date pattern: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sss'Z'  to   yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z

In the VSI ,  changed magic dates from :

{{=doDateDeltaFromCurrent("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.sss'Z'","0H");/*2017-06-05T11:47:58.801Z*/}}

To

{{=doDateDeltaFromCurrent("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'","0H");/*2017-06-05T11:47:58.801Z*/}}
