New Features For Underpass

Hello Testers 👋

After receiving a warm response and constructive feedback, our Underpass app is now out of beta testing. Experience a more stable, secure and faster UI-based desktop application to help you perform browser testing of your locally hosted projects with ease. 

The latest version is 1.8.3041 

1. Differentiate Updates With Colour Codes: 
With colour codes you can easily differentiate the updates that occur on the Underpass tunnel logs screen. Thus helping you acknowledge warning or error messages with ease. 

2. Easy To Access & Share Log Directory from the main screen: 
We have made the cumbersome process of finding the log directory link easy. Now you can access and share the path directly from the main screen. 

3. Ability to Change the Log Directory Path:
Now you can change and choose your desired log path using GUI in Underpass.

4. Performance Enhancements:
We have also improved the performance of the Underpass app and worked closely on the stability issues and key enhancements.

This integration enables you to easily mark your bugs, keep a track of them, share, and collaborate with your team on your Airtable project. Your bugs get logged in your respective table, you can fill up the fields such as associated feature, bug source, assignee, etc.

After you’ve marked the bugs, you can see that these bugs logged in the table, along with all the entered information. You can also see the environment on which the test was performed along with the screenshot URL of the marked bug, which routes you to the screenshot.

LambdaTest launches Underpass – A Desktop Application For Testing Local Pages

Hey All! Hope you are staying safe amid COVID-19 outbreak and staying indoors, working remotely! In the mid of all these, we introduced Underpass- A Desktop application to make you local testing easier. All you need to do is to install this application in your system and start your local testing.

Why Underpasss?

Underpass saves you the effort of working your way through the command line to trigger the Lambda Tunnel binary. Now, you just need to download, install the application and hit the launch button with your LambdaTest authentication credentials. That is it! The Underpass will take care of the rest.

You can also use Magic Link to auto-fill the authentication credentials. Just click on the Magic Link under the "Configure Tunnel" button in the header and it will automatically open the auto-fill Underpass.

The Underpass application has a built-in terminal to reflect the Lambda Tunnel logs directly from your command line.

Best Part? Underpass lets you specify a bunch of advanced configurations while launching your Lambda Tunnel.

That way, you can launch the Lambda Tunnel on your specified proxy details, environment label, info API port, local server port, and more.! You can even view the detailed logs by toggling the Verbose button, by default, it would be off.

The MITM(Man-in-the-middle) toggle enables you to test websites using self-signed certificates on your local system or internal network.

For more details, refer to our support documentation on LambdaTest Underpass.
