If your website modifies the DOM based on viewport size or specific breakpoints, LambdaTest SmartUI SDK now offers configurable options to adapt to these changes seamlessly.
When using the SmartUI CLI, the SDK captures the DOM state precisely at the specified viewport size within the test browser and then renders it across the various browsers and resolutions defined in your configuration file.
To get started, check out this guide on capturing responsive DOM screenshots.
We now support the Playwright framework for automated web accessibility testing that allows you to integrate accessibility checks into your test suites. With Playwright accessibility automation, you can automate tests for issues like color contrast and missing ARIA attributes, ensuring your websites and web apps are more accessible.
You can also run these tests on various browsers and devices using the LambdaTest platform, making it easier to identify and address accessibility issues.
We are now live with our newest certification, Espresso 101, perfect for anyone looking to polish their skills in Android app testing with Espresso.

We’ve added a new Smart Ignore feature in SmartUI to make visual testing smoother and more accurate, especially for dynamic, content-heavy software applications. This feature can distinguish between actual content changes and minor element shifts, reducing the false positives often found with pixel-by-pixel comparisons.
Here’s how Smart Ignore can help you:
Currently, we have released the Smart Ignore feature in beta. You can enable Smart Ignore for free by contacting our sales team.
For more details, check out the guide on Smart Ignore in SmartUI.
We are live with two new additions to enhance your testing capabilities:
macOS Sequoia Support for Real Time Testing
You can now run your manual tests on the latest macOS Sequoia, ensuring compatibility with Apple’s newest operating system. Test your web applications across browsers in a real macOS Sequoia environment to catch potential issues early and improve the overall user experience for macOS users.
Android 15 Support on Google Pixel Emulators
Stay ahead of the curve by testing your mobile applications on Android 15 using Google Pixel emulators. Ensure your apps run smoothly on the latest Android version, checking for performance, UI responsiveness, and compatibility.
LambdaTest Real Time App Testing now supports the screen reader feature for testing mobile app accessibility on real Android devices. This feature allows you to navigate through app elements with spoken descriptions of the UI, similar to Google TalkBack. It helps ensure your Android app complies with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Note: Currently, we have rolled out this feature in beta.
To get started, refer to our documentation on Screen Reader (TalkBack) for Android.
Now, test your Android apps on the latest Google Pixel 9 using our real device cloud.
This allows you to perform both manual and automated tests on a real Google Pixel 9, ensuring your mobile applications function as expected and are fully compatible with the Google Pixel 9.
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:
We have added the latest browsers in Real Time Browser Testing for desktops. Test on them now to ensure comprehensive coverage for your testing needs.
