February’25 Updates: Accessibility Test Scheduling, Latest Features in SmartUI, Insights, and More! | LambdaTest

Salmankhan2389 — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 08:59:24 +0000

February might be the shortest month, but we made every day count with new features and improvements tailored just for you.

Check out the below updates that will make your experience smoother, faster, and better than ever.

Schedule Scans With Accessibility Scheduling Feature

Ensuring accessibility is an ongoing activity. However, keeping up with regular accessibility testing can be challenging, and you may miss running checks that can lead to compliance risks, and manual testing takes time, as well. That’s where scheduling comes in.

It helps schedule accessibility scans, allowing you to stay proactive, catch issues early, and maintain compliance without additional manual effort.

To streamline this process, we have released the Accessibility Scheduling feature. This feature allows you to schedule (or automate) recurring or one-time accessibility scans, reducing your manual effort while ensuring your websites and web applications comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Other than rolling out this feature, we have also added the following support:

You can schedule accessibility scans for locally or internally hosted web pages with Tunnel.
While running accessibility tests, you can send bug reports straight to bug-tracking tools like Jira without leaving your accessibility testing workflow.

Test Websites in Real Time With Self-Signed Certificates

Some web features work only in a secure environment (HTTPS). When testing HTTPS-only features in an internal or staging environment, teams often rely on self-signed certificates instead of certificates issued by trusted authorities.

To make your testing even more secure, we have added self-signed certificate support in real-time testing to test your locally hosted websites and web applications.

With this update, you can test locally hosted websites and web applications that are in internal, pre-production, or secure environments without interruptions.

Debug Flutter Tests on iOS With Console Logs

Debugging Flutter tests on iOS is now more efficient. You can now view console logs directly for debugging. Earlier, you had to go through lengthy instrumentation logs to troubleshoot issues, which made the process time-consuming.

However, this update makes real Flutter logs available, allowing testers to quickly spot errors and debug without extra hassle.

Looking to test your Flutter apps on iOS? Check this guide on Flutter Dart testing with iOS.

Important Update: Starting February 26th, the support for iOS 12 devices is no longer available on our real device cloud. We will also deprecate the support for iOS 13 devices soon, with at least two months’ notice before removal.

Latest Features Roll-Out in SmartUI

In our continuous effort to enhance your visual testing experience, we’ve rolled out several features in SmartUI.

Improved UX for Drawing Regions on Screenshots: We’ve enhanced our screenshot comparison tool to ignore or select annotated regions. You can now draw directly while zooming, panning, and pinching for seamless navigation. An enhanced draw cursor improves speed and accuracy and makes it faster and easier for you to highlight differences.

Bulk Review of Screenshot Variants: The new bulk review feature lets you do a bulk review of screenshot variants. You can accept, reject, or move multiple screenshots variants in a single action. This will reduce your repetitive work and make the review process more efficient.

SmartIgnore Now Works With SmartUI Public APIs and Integrations: SmartIgnore now integrates with SmartUI public APIs, giving you more flexibility in visual testing. You can easily use SmartIgnore with SmartUI fetch APIs to speed up and refine your visual comparison process. It also supports email and Slack, so you get instant updates right where you work.
Move PDFs and Their Individual Pages to the Baseline: You can now move entire PDFs or select their individual pages to the baseline. It provides you a better control over approval workflows and simplifies your document-level and page-level verification.
Execute JavaScript Code on Target URLs With SmartUI CLI: The SmartUI CLI now supports executing JavaScript before capturing snapshots. You can interact with dynamic elements, modify content, and manage loading states. Refer to the documentation to execute custom JavaScript code with SmartUI.

Enhancements and Features in HyperExecute

We continue our effort to enhance HyperExecute, bringing new capabilities. Here are some of the newly added features:

Artifact Extraction on Job Abortion: Artifacts will now be extracted even if a test job is aborted midway. Therefore, you can access partial test results and logs to analyze failures, debug more effectively, and review critical test data even if the execution is interrupted.
afterEachScenario Flag for Test Cleanup: The afterEachScenario flag in HyperExecute lets you automate post-test scenario tasks, helping maintain test isolation and consistency. This flag executes cleanup activities such as clearing cookies, resetting databases, or capturing logs after each test scenario.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Projects: We have implemented Role-Based Access Control to improve project security and access management. You can now assign specific roles with predefined permissions so that only authorized individuals can access or modify project settings and resources.
UI/UX Enhancements for Performance Testing Jobs: We’ve improved the UI/UX for managing and analyzing performance testing jobs, making navigation smoother and more intuitive. A new group-wise error view categorizes errors for better readability and faster troubleshooting.

Additionally, we’ve introduced a toggle feature that lets you switch performance metrics between Milliseconds and Seconds, providing more flexibility in analyzing test execution times.

Test on New Browser Versions: You can now test on new browser versions for Microsoft Edge — 133.0.3065.31 and 133.0.3065.39.

New Features in Insights

To provide deeper visibility into your test execution, we have added some new features in Insights:

Filter Custom Data for Builds: We have added the customData capability for Build Comparison that allows you to filter and compare web automation builds. You can also analyze specific test scenarios based on the tags or metadata you’ve defined.

New Widget for App Automation: We have introduced a new widget for App Automation that provides visibility into your test execution metrics.

This widget helps you track the total number of unique applications under test and provides valuable insights into test coverage and application performance.

Export Usage Reports in Excel Format: You can now export Insights Usage Reports directly to Excel, making it easier to analyze, share, and integrate data into existing workflows.

Since all data formatting and structure are preserved, you can seamlessly integrate these reports into your existing Excel-based workflows.

New “Created by” Column for Dashboards: The Dashboard list now includes a “Created by” column that indicates who created a dashboard.

Sort Insights Data Based on Column: The Insights drill-down experience has been improved with column sorting functionality.

Admin Controls for Accessing and Managing Dashboards: Admins can now access and manage all Insights dashboards within their organization, irrespective of who created them.

Filter Deleted/Disabled Test Builds: You can now exclude disabled tests from your dashboards for clearer insights. Removing disabled and deleted tests from your data can help you provide a more accurate view of your current testing workflow.

All in All!

February brought a range of enhancements to make testing more efficient and seamless. With features like accessibility test scheduling, SmartUI improvements, and better debugging for Flutter tests on iOS, these updates will simplify your workflow.

Make the most of these new capabilities, and keep your feedback coming!

March’25 Updates: iOS VoiceOver Support, New KaneAI Features, and More! | LambdaTest

Salmankhan2389 — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 07:05:55 +0000

What’s new since our last round of updates?

A whole lot, actually 😀

Here’s a quick look at some of the latest features we’ve rolled out to elevate your testing experience.

VoiceOver Support on Real iOS Devices

You can now use VoiceOver on real iOS devices to manually test the accessibility of your mobile apps.

This helps you understand how your mobile app works for users who rely on screen readers-especially those with visual impairments. It lets you check if the content is readable, navigation makes sense, and interactive elements are announced correctly.

New Feature Releases in KaneAI

We’ve added a bunch of new features to KaneAI to give you more control, flexibility, and ease during test creation and execution.

Change Your App While Editing Mobile Test Cases

Now, you can change or update the mobile app you’re testing right in the middle of editing a mobile test case in KaneAI. So, there is no need to start over from scratch for every new mobile app.

Let’s say you need to switch to a different version or configuration of your mobile app while working on a test case-you can do that without losing your progress. Your test steps will stay put and adjust to the new mobile app. Therefore, you don’t have to redo everything.

“Auto login through Google” Feature for Android Native App Automation”

KaneAI now lets you log into a Google account on Android devices while creating native app test cases.

Using the Play Store login flow, you can sign in with your credentials-no Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is needed. This makes it easier to access and test Google-integrated apps during test creation while keeping things secure and efficient.

Debug Web Automated Tests With Network and Console Logs

You can now capture network and console logs in KaneAI while running web automation tests.

You’ll get detailed info like network requests, responses, browser errors, and JavaScript logs for debugging, checking API calls, and spotting what went wrong in your test.

These logs are saved and ready for you after the test run, giving you better visibility into performance and failures.

Run Web Tests With Chrome Options Support

You can now set Chrome browser options before starting a web test in KaneAI. This lets you set things like headless mode, disable extensions, or block pop-ups.

This is useful if you’re testing features that rely on specific browser settings or want to make tests run faster by disabling unnecessary features.

Replace URL for Test Runs Across Different Environments

You can now run the same test case across staging or production without editing your script. Just set up dynamic URL replacement in KaneAI, and it will update the environment link automatically during test runs.

This helps avoid mistakes from manual edits and saves time when testing across multiple environments. It’s especially useful when you’re validating the same flow in different builds or need to quickly switch between environments without duplicating or rewriting test cases.

Use Smart Implicit Waits for Managing Network Requests

KaneAI now supports smart implicit waits that automatically pause the test for network activity to complete. You don’t need to manually add waits or guess the right delay anymore.

The test will continue only when the network response is ready. This reduces flakiness and improves overall test speed. It’s helpful when dealing with web pages that load content asynchronously or when network delays are common.

Run KaneAI Tests With LambdaTest Tunnel

You can now run tests on local or private environments using LambdaTest Tunnel in KaneAI. Just select a tunnel during test execution-whether through the UI or API-and KaneAI will connect to your local setup.

This means you can test websites or mobile apps that aren’t publicly available without exposing them online. It’s useful for testing development builds, staging servers, or behind a firewall.

Test Firebase Mobile Apps on Real Devices

You can now integrate your Firebase App Distribution account directly to LambdaTest and instantly push apps to real Android and iOS devices in the cloud.

No more downloading and re-uploading builds-just link your Firebase project, and your mobile app is ready to test. It’s a faster way to test beta builds, bug fixes, or new features on actual devices without the back-and-forth.

Also, you can easily share your Firebase apps with teammates so everyone’s testing from the same source.

Refer to this documentation on how to test apps installed via Firebase.

Latest Releases in SmartUI

SmartUI just got a lot more powerful-now supporting DOM-level controls, XCUITest for iOS, and much more.

Draw Regions and Use DOM-Based Ignore/Select in SmartIgnore

You now have greater control over what parts of your web application get checked during visual testing. With the new region drawing tool in SmartIgnore, you can manually define specific areas to test. It is helpful when only certain sections of the UI are relevant to your test case.

You can also ignore or select annotated regions by targeting DOM elements. For example, if any specific component, like dynamic banners or rotating ads, is constantly changing, you can exclude them from the comparison. This reduces false positives and helps focus your visual testing on the actual UI changes that matter.

SmartUI Capabilities Support for Selenium SDKs

If you run Selenium tests using Java or JavaScript, the SmartUI SDK now supports defining capabilities directly within the SDK itself. You can set browser versions, OS configurations, resolution settings, and more-all from your test script.

The SmartUI SDK capabilities remove the need to maintain separate configuration files or override them externally. It streamlines how you set up your Selenium tests and ensures that the visual regression suite runs exactly how you expect in different test environments.

Draw Regions and Use DOM-Based Ignore/Select in SmartIgnore

The SmartUI CLI Exec commands allow you to manage the SmartUI snapshot server more easily. You can now start, stop, and check the status of the snapshot server directly from the command line-no need to manually open a separate process or check logs elsewhere.

This is useful when you need to control when and how the snapshot server runs in your automation pipeline or during local debugging. It gives you more operational control and helps reduce test flakiness caused by mismanaged server states.

Test Native Apps With Appium Using SmartUI App SDK

The SmartUI App SDK now supports running visual regression tests with Appium Java on real devices. You don’t need to rely on screenshots captured manually-this SDK automates the entire process.

You can also integrate SmartUI App SDK into your CI/CD workflows and test directly on any supported cloud platform, including LambdaTest.

Run Mobile Visual Tests With XCUITest Framework

You can perform mobile visual testing with XCUITest with SmartUI. It lets you automate visual regression tests for iOS apps using the native iOS test framework. You can capture snapshots during test runs and compare them against baselines to catch unwanted UI changes, all while continuing to work in the XCUITest ecosystem.

Run Visual Tests Using SmartUI SDK With Tunnel

You can use SmartUI SDK with Tunnel to test apps running in local, private, or staging environments. This is particularly useful when your application isn’t exposed to the public internet but still needs visual validation.

Just start a secure tunnel from your local machine or test environment and run your visual regression tests like you normally would. You’ll be able to catch layout issues or broken styles in isolated environments before deploying to production-without compromising security.

Latest Enhancements in HyperExecute

We’ve also made some key enhancements to HyperExecute. Here’s a quick look at what’s new:

Parameterize Appium Flag for iOS Simulation on Desktop Browsers: You can now control iOS simulation behavior on desktop browsers by setting a parameterized appium flag. This lets you toggle simulation based on test requirements without altering the script. It brings more flexibility to cross-platform testing setups.
Use the reporterConfigFile Option in cypressOps for Custom Reporter Setup: Cypress users can now specify a custom reporter configuration file using the reporterConfigFile option in cypressOps. This allows you to plug in advanced reporting tools with minimal setup.
Run .NET Tests Using the runtime Flag With Versions 4.7 and 4.8: You can now run .NET tests by specifying the runtime flag for versions 4.7 and 4.8.
Define Project Name and Auto Create Project With projectName Capability: The projectName capability lets you define and auto-create projects directly from your test configuration. No need for manual project setup each time.
Generate Consolidated Native Robot Test Reports: HyperExecute now supports consolidated reporting for native Robot Framework test runs. Instead of navigating through multiple logs, you get a single, unified report. This makes analysis faster and simplifies reporting for large test suites.

Get Deeper Visibility With Private Desktop Insights

You can now access detailed analytics for your desktop testing with the new Private Desktop insights -now live in beta.

With this feature, you can track exactly how your test devices are being used: how many tests were run, how long devices were active, and which environments were used most.

You also get usage breakdowns by user, group, or sub-org-so you can easily spot trends, boost adoption, and plan smarter. Use filters like date, browser, OS, hostname, and more to slice the data however you need.

View, Schedule, and Download Reports in the Test Manager

We’ve introduced a new Reports feature in Test Manager to help you stay on top of your testing efforts with ease. You can now view, schedule, and download reports-all from one place.

The Reports feature lets you generate two types of reports: Execution and Traceability.

Execution Report

With this report, you can track your test execution history in detail and see how your test runs are performing over time with data like:

Number of passed/failed tests
Test durations
Execution trends across cycles

Traceability Report

With this report, you can gain end-to-end visibility by connecting test cases to their related:

Requirements
User stories
Bugs and defects

Summing Up!

Last month, we brought the heat with a fresh batch of features in KaneAI, SmartUI, and HyperExecute to level up your testing game.

April’ 25 Updates: HyperExecute MCP Server, Schedule Tests With Test Manager, and More!

Salmankhan2389 — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 06:31:23 +0000

Hey there — we’ve rolled out new features across our different product lines to help you test smarter and faster.

HyperExecute now comes with an MCP Server to boost performance and control. We’ve added test scheduling feature in KaneAI, and there are more awesome updates.

Let’s uncover them one by one!

Live With HyperExecute MCP Server

When you want to scale your testing, setting up test runners, managing test execution, and dealing with errors can slow things down. That’s why we built the HyperExecute MCP Server. It helps you with test configurations that used to take weeks and gets it done in minutes.

HyperExecute MCP Server is an AI-native platform that understands your codebase to generate test commands and create YAML config files right inside your IDE.

It provides real-time insights from Agentic RAG and helps you speed up your test execution by up to 70% faster than with regular cloud grids.

Other than launching the HyperExecute MCP Server, we have also made some other enhancements in HyperExecute:

Validate HyperExecute YAML File With validate Flag: You can now ensure your YAML file is correctly formatted with the -validate flag. This you can do without running any tests. The -validate flag allows you to verify the correctness of your YAML configuration before test execution.
Use the failFast Flag at Scenario Level: The failFast flag is now supported for the scenario level. Therefore, instead of stopping the entire test suite, you can now stop specific scenarios after a defined number of failures.

Schedule Test Runs With KaneAI

With KaneAI, you can now schedule test runs for specific times. This way, you don’t have to start them manually every time.

You can set parameters like network logs, console logs, and some other advanced options, too. This will help you manage test runs better, but without needing to check in constantly.

Check out this video for a complete summary of what’s new in LambdaTest , all the latest product updates in one place.

Test Flutter Apps With Appium on Virtual Devices

You can now test Flutter apps on Android emulators with Appium. This means you can easily test your app on different screen sizes and OS versions without needing to set up your emulators.

Also, you can plug these Flutter web app tests into your CI/CD pipeline with our APIs, so your tests run automatically. You’ll get detailed logs, screenshots, and videos to help troubleshoot issues.

To get started, check out this guide on testing Flutter apps on Android with LambdaTest.

Note: In addition, we have also integrated with Flutter Integration Driver, which allows you to test Flutter apps on Android emulators and iOS simulators.

Latest Features in App Automation

We’ve added new capabilities for App Automation. Now you can interact with devices in real time, control Bluetooth, and simulate GPS locations during your test runs.

Interact With Android and iOS Devices in Real-Time: You can now interact with real Android and iOS devices in real-time while running web automated tests.
Control Bluetooth Settings During Test Sessions: Bluetooth control is now available for real Android and iOS devices.

Run Real-Time App Tests With Bluetooth Support

In addition to App Automation, we have also added support for Bluetooth control in real-time mobile app testing.

During live-interactive test sessions, you can now switch Bluetooth on or off directly from the console and test your app features that rely on Bluetooth connectivity.

New Features in Insights

We have rolled out three major features in Insights to help you optimize app performance, speed up debugging, and get deeper insights from your test data.

Monitor Performance in Real-Time With App Profiling Dashboard: The new App Profiling dashboard gives you a clear view of how your app behaves during tests on real devices.

It tracks eight key performance metrics:

CPU usage
Frame rate
Memory usage
Battery consumption
Network activity
Device temperature
Cold start time
Hot start time

With this dashboard, you can easily identify bottlenecks, correlate different metrics, set performance benchmarks, and optimize app behavior across real devices. It also provides practical tips to improve each metric.

Categorize Test Failures With AI: Manually identifying test failures is time-consuming.

Therefore, we have released the feature, AI-native test failure categorization in Insights, that helps you speed things up by automatically grouping failures based on environment, browser, OS, and error patterns.

Create Your Own Custom Dashboard Widgets: You can now build your own custom dashboard widgets in Insights. This feature gives you the flexibility to create the exact visualizations you need.

Benefits:

Select any supported values for both X and Y axes.
Organize data using your preferred group-by fields.
Apply multiple filter conditions to zero in on the right data.

Fresh Set of Features in SmartUI

Test Locally Hosted Websites Automatically With SmartUI SDK and Tunnel: The SmartUI SDKs now come with automatic tunneling support to test websites and web applications hosted in local or private environments. Instead of manually setting up tunnels every time, with SmartUI SDK and LambdaTest Tunnel, you can now configure everything directly within your SmartUI configuration file. You get the flexibility to choose how you want to manage the tunnels. In automatic mode, SmartUI sets up the tunnel for you.

Just add a simple tunnel object in your config file with type: “auto“, and it will pick up your LambdaTest credentials from environment variables to create a secure connection.

If you prefer more control, you can go with manual mode by specifying the tunnel name using type: “manual“. You can also fine-tune the setup by configuring ports, proxy settings, or local directories.

Compare Layouts With SmartUI SDK: You can test layouts with SmartUI SDK to check if the structure of your UI stays consistent, regardless of device, browser, or environment. Layouts often break when content changes or when the same page is viewed in a different language. This feature helps catch those issues early by focusing only on how elements are arranged, not on how they look.

It intentionally ignores changes in text, colors, font sizes, margins, and images. Instead, it checks whether UI components maintain their intended positions and relationships.

This is helpful for localization testing or when maintaining layout reliability across viewports.

View Coded Regions Directly on SmartUI Dashboard: You can now view coded regions areas you’ve defined in your test scripts to be included or ignored directly on the SmartUI dashboard.

With this feature, these regions appear as overlays alongside any manually drawn ones. So, this helps you ensure consistency between coded and drawn regions and reduce misconfigurations.

Log Bugs With Assembla Integration

Assembla is a cloud-based platform that provides robust version control capabilities, supporting industry-standard systems like Git and even enterprise-focused options..

We have now integrated with Assembla to enhance your bug tracking process. With Assembla integration with LambdaTest, you can log issues directly from the LambdaTest platform to the Assembla instance, assign them to team members, and include screenshots during test sessions.

Wrapping Up!

That’s all for this round of updates. You can now schedule test runs with Test Manager, test Flutter apps using Appium on virtual devices, and do much more.

Real-time app testing now comes with Bluetooth support, and we’ve packed in new features across Insights and SmartUI. You can also log bugs straight into your workflow with the new Assembla integration.

Go try out these features, see what works for you, and let us know how it goes. We’re not done yet more’s on the way!

December'23 Updates: Playwright Testing on Linux, Latest Features in Smart UI, HyperExecute, and More!

Salmankhan2389 — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 09:10:41 +0000

In December, we rolled out several features across different product lines. This includes generating Google Lighthouse reports while performing Playwright browser testing, running Playwright test suites on the Linux platform, using the network throttling feature for Appium automation, and more.

*A comprehensive User Acceptance Testing (UAT) tutorial that covers what User Acceptance Testing is, its importance, benefits, and how to perform it with real-time examples. *

HyperExecute has been enhanced with new features, including cloning Git repositories using LambdaTest Tunnel and receiving job reports and artifacts via email. In Smart UI testing, we have released a new API for fetching the build state. Also, you can now capture screenshots of specific elements with Selenium.

Let’s have a look at these features in more detail.

Get Google Lighthouse Reports in Playwright

With Google Lighthouse reports, you can fix website issues like performance, speed, and page load times. Accessibility issues are also covered, which ensures the web app works for everyone. To help you keep track of your website performance metrics, we have added support for generating Google Lighthouse reports for the Playwright framework.

You can leverage Google Lighthouse reports while performing Playwright testing to track the performance and quality of your web applications. These reports comprehensively analyze factors such as page speed, accessibility, SEO, and more. You can quickly identify and address performance bottlenecks, accessibility issues, and other critical aspects that affect user experience.

This report not only increases the efficiency of your Playwright testing process but also ensures that web applications meet the highest standards in terms of performance and user accessibility, ultimately resulting in more reliable and user-friendly web experiences.

*In this tutorial on Agile testing, let’s deep dive into the history of Agile testing, its advantages, disadvantages, methods, quadrants, and best practices. *

Test Your Apps on Different Network Conditions

Testing your mobile applications in different network conditions is important to avoid sub-optimal functionality, slow loading, and increased latency. Also, poor connectivity can result in unreliable service delivery and user frustration if you fail to simulate real-world scenarios.

To help you with network simulation for mobile automation testing, we have released the network throttling to test your web and native apps using Appium on low latency network conditions, such as 2G, 3G, and LTE, or even offline. And, this test you can perform with varying upload and download speeds. It allows simulating different network profiles, replicating real-world scenarios, and ensuring reliable testing for web and native applications on a real device cloud.

Introducing Intelligent UI Inspector for Real Device Cloud

Salmankhan2389 — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 05:23:02 +0000

Inspеcting app еlеmеnts is a standard method for debugging mobile issues across various dеvicеs and opеrating systеms, and you can typically do this using UI Inspеctors. However, considering the complexity of modern UIs, mobile apps may contain different app elements. It is, therefore, easy for defects to go unnoticed during manual testing.

Also, there might be an area where testers need advanced capabilities for UI inspection, like creating custom XPaths to pinpoint specific еlеmеnts within an app’s usеr intеrfacе for accurate testing. Moreover, hybrid app inspеction is also essential to address thе complеx naturе of mobilе apps that blеnd wеb and nativе UI еlеmеnts.
