HyperExecute: Clone Repository Via Tunnel and Get Job Reports and Artifacts via Email

Clone Repositories With LambdaTest Tunnel

HyperExecute now allows you to clone the Git repository via LambdaTest Tunnel. With this functionality, you can ensure a secure transfer of data between the repository and your local machine. This added layer of security helps you when dealing with private repositories hosted on a private network or behind a firewall.

Do you need to access private repositories from outside the network? No problem! With this new feature, you can seamlessly connect to private networks and clone repositories just like you would from within the network.

Whether your repositories are public or private, you can now confidently clone them all from your Git provider using LambdaTest Tunnel.

To get started, refer to our guide - Clone a Repository via LambdaTest Tunnel.

Get HyperExecute Job Reports and Artifacts via Email

Downloading Job Reports and Artifacts manually from HyperExecute can be time-consuming and repetitive.  With our new feature, you can now receive them directly to your specified email addresses, saving you valuable time and eliminating the need for tedious manual tasks.

With automated email delivery, access critical job information instantly. No more navigating through the UI for downloads – the information you need comes to you.

  • Diverse Login Options: Now, log in with your email and password or choose the ease of Google, GitHub, or SSO. 🔐
  • Multiple Tunnel Management: Our upgraded application lets you handle multiple tasks at once. Efficient, right? 🚇
  • Advanced Configuration: If you're into detailed setups, we've got advanced tunneling options for both basic and intricate needs. 🔧
  • Streamlined Log Sharing: Debugging is a breeze with our easy log copying feature. 🔍

To get started, refer to the documentation LambdaTest UnderPass.

New Features: Smart UI and Account Management

Smart UI

  • Perform Smart UI testing with Storybook 7 and get enhanced component visualization, testing, and collaboration capabilities.
  • Smart baseline strategy for SmartUI to streamline the process of updating baselines for approved screenshots, reducing manual intervention, and improving the overall efficiency of the testing workflow.
  • Now take multiple screenshots in a build and give them the same name. This is useful for comparing different stages or elements, as you're not limited to just one screenshot with the same name in a build. This overwrite screenshot feature in Smart UI will replace (overwrite) the latest screenshot with the previous ones in that build.

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

  • New security features in the LambdaTest Tunnel to configure security options for the tunnel to restrict tunnel creation to specific users, turn tunnel sharing on or off, and control which local domains are accessible (or inaccessible) through the tunnel. 
  • Audit logs in LambdaTest Tunnel for user and organization-level activities to monitor account activity, detect unauthorized access, investigate security incidents, track user-level and organization-level activity history, and audit compliance with security policies.
  • Password and access key expiry policy to let organization administrators set the duration of password and access key expiry. After that, users can create a new password and/or use the regenerated access key. Admins will also be able to exempt certain users from the application of this policy. 
  • LambdaTest integration with Zenkit for tracking and managing bugs and issues. With this integration, you can effortlessly log bugs directly from the LambdaTest platform to your Zenkit instance, eliminating the need to maintain tasks and issues manually.
