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’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:

• Avoid false positives by managing displacement differences.
• Reduce visual noise so you can focus on meaningful content changes.
• Apply it globally via Project Settings or per screenshot using the Diff Options dropdown.

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.

1. Cypress Detailed Command Logs for Enhanced Debugging New Release

Detailed Cypress Command Logs in HyperExecute generate an extensive, human-readable record of all Cypress commands and their corresponding results, both in the console and as a file. It helps narrow down test logs, making debugging and troubleshooting Cypress tests easier.

📕 Learn how to enable Detailed Command Logs for your Cypress tests.

2. Parameterized Report Email Handling in YAML Enhancement

HyperExecute now supports an enhanced approach for managing multiple email addresses within the YAML configuration file. Previously, you needed to define multiple variables for email addresses (${email1}, ${email2}, etc.). With this update, a single variable can now hold multiple email addresses, separated by commas or underscores, simplifying report sharing. This enhancement eliminates the need for multiple variables, making maintaining and modifying email configurations easier.

📕 Check the Reports documentation to learn more about it.

3. Browser and Selenium Updates for Linux, Windows, and macOS New Release

Updated the browser versions across multiple platforms and upgraded the Selenium jars. This ensures compatibility with the latest features and security updates, improving test stability across different environments.

The following updates are now live:

• Firefox: version 129.0
• Chrome: version 128.0
• Selenium Jars: version 4.24

LambdaTest now supports the latest iPhone 16 series with iOS 18 on its real device cloud, enabling precise manual and automated testing for mobile apps. Ensure cross-browser compatibility, UI responsiveness, and native app performance on real iPhone 16 devices.
