HyperExecute now supports beta browsers for the Windows Platform! 🎉
This means you can now test your web applications on the latest beta versions of popular browsers for the Windows platform, ensuring compatibility and catching potential issues early on.
Here's what's new:
Semaphore CI/CD Pipeline Integration with HyperExecute: Seamless Test Executions and Shorter Test Cycles
Semaphore CI/CD is a popular cloud-based platform that helps engineering teams of all sizes build, test, and deploy their software faster and more reliably. HyperExecute is a powerful test execution platform that offers unparalleled speed, efficiency, scalability, and compatibility.
The new integration between Semaphore CI/CD and HyperExecute will allow teams to execute their tests on HyperExecute's cloud infrastructure seamlessly. This can help teams significantly shorten their test cycles and deliver software faster.
📕 For more details, check the documentation.
Run Smart UI Tests from HyperExecute using Cypress Framework
Cypress is a popular JavaScript framework for developing end-to-end UI tests. It offers several advantages over other UI testing frameworks, including speed, simplicity, and reliability. HyperExecute now supports the Cypress framework, allowing teams to run their Cypress UI tests on our cloud infrastructure, thus helping teams improve the quality of their UI tests and reduce the time to test their applications.

Hey folks 👋
LambdaTest Automation now supports the SmartWait feature to increase the efficiency and accuracy of your automated test execution. 🕛
With SmartWait, you can reduce the amount of code dedicated to explicit/implicit waits in your Selenium test suite, making it easier to read and maintain.
SmartWait runs a series of actionability checks on a webpage element before any action is executed on it. It uses an intelligent algorithm that holds off on performing an action until all relevant checks have been successfully passed. SmartWait returns the relevant Selenium error message if the checks are not passed within a stipulated timeframe.
📕 To get started with SmartWait on LambdaTest, check out our documentation SmartWait functionality for Selenium testing.
