HyperExecute now supports Accessibility Testing for both Selenium and Cypress! This update enables you to ensure that your web applications comply with accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.2 AA.

Benefits of Accessibility Testing in HyperExecute

With this feature, you can seamlessly validate a range of accessibility issues to create more inclusive and user-friendly web applications. Here's how it benefits you:

• Automated Issue Detection: Identify common accessibility problems such as missing alt attributes, incorrect ARIA roles, and insufficient color contrast—early in the development process.
• Detailed Accessibility Reports: Receive comprehensive reports that pinpoint accessibility issues, with actionable recommendations for resolving them.
• Improved Compliance: Ensure your applications adhere to critical accessibility guidelines like WCAG 2.2 AA or previous versions: WCAG 2.0 A, WCAG 2.0 AA, WCAG 2.1 A, WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.1 AAA, and WCAG 2.2 A, helping you avoid legal risks and create a better experience for all users.

How to Use:

• For Selenium Users: To start accessibility testing with Selenium, you have to pass "accessibility", true capability in your test files.

📕 Check out our detailed guide on executing your accessibility tests using Selenium on HyperExecute.

• For Cypress Users: To start accessibility testing with Cypress, you have to pass accessibility: true capability in the cypressOps flag of your YAML file as well as update other necessary configurations in your project.

📕 Follow our step-by-step documentation to set up and run accessibility checks in Cypress v10 or Cypress v9 on HyperExecute.

We’ve introduced Cypress support for accessibility automation, allowing you to integrate accessibility tests seamlessly into your Cypress test suites. You can now automate checks for issues like color contrast and missing ARIA attributes, helping to ensure your web applications are more accessible and compliant with standards.

Additionally, you can run these tests across various browsers and devices on the LambdaTest platform, making it easier to identify and address accessibility issues. 

Bonus addition: Besides this update, you can also automate tests using the latest Selenium version, 4.23.

We've enhanced the SmartUI CLI package by adding an image upload feature. This new feature allows you to upload images directly from a specified directory to SmartUI for visual testing.

It works similarly to our current API upload functionality but includes additional features, such as support for the Git branching strategy.

Key features of the SmartUI CLI for image upload:

• Image Support: Upload PNG, JPG, and JPEG images.
• Directory Upload: Easily upload images from a specified directory.
• Git Branching Strategy: Enhanced support for managing images in different branches.

Selenium Version Support Expanded

HyperExecute now supports Selenium versions 4.16 to 4.21. This update ensures broader options for test automation frameworks and provides access to the latest Selenium features.

Firefox Browser Updated 

To maintain browser compatibility and access the newest features, we've incorporated support for Firefox version 128. This update guarantees reliable testing on the latest Firefox releases.

HyperExecute now supports k6, a powerful open-source performance testing tool. This integration empowers QA and developers to effortlessly scale their performance testing efforts and gain deeper insights into their applications' performance.

HyperExecute supports all versions of k6 (till 0.52). To use any particular version, all you have to do is mention that specific version in the HyperExecute YAML file

📕 Check the k6 integration documentation to learn more about it.

Now perform live debugging of your app automated tests. This feature lets you interact with your automated tests in real time, enhancing your debugging experience right from the App Automation dashboard. 

With live inspection for app automation, you can:

• Activate Live Debug mode during the test execution.
• Use the Live Debug mode to access extended UI Inspector capabilities.
• Interact directly with the app on the real device, inspect UI frames, and perform debugging actions.
• Debug your automation scripts without interrupting ongoing tests, ensuring focused and efficient testing.

Other Enhancements:

• You can now leverage Appium plugins in App Automation to elevate your automated app testing. These plugins modify Appium's behavior, enabling you to customize your testing environment for greater efficiency and effectiveness tailored to your specific needs.
