SmartUI Just Got Better: New Features Added

SmartUI has introduced new features to improve visual testing accuracy and efficiency. These updates bring better control over region selection, enhanced automation, and seamless integrations. 

Here’s what’s new:

SmartIgnore Now Works With SmartUI Public APIs and Integrations

SmartIgnore now seamlessly integrates with SmartUI’s public APIs, making visual testing more flexible. You can use it with SmartUI fetch APIs to speed up and fine-tune visual comparisons. Plus, it supports email and Slack notifications, so you get real-time updates in your workflow.

Move PDFs and Their Pages to the Baseline

Now, you can move entire PDFs or specific pages to the baseline, giving you better control over approvals. This makes document and page-level verification smoother and more efficient.

Run JavaScript on Target URLs Using SmartUI CLI

SmartUI CLI now lets you execute JavaScript before taking snapshots. This means you can interact with dynamic elements, tweak content, and manage loading states. Check the documentation for details on running custom JavaScript with SmartUI.

Enhanced SmartIgnore: Draw Regions and Ignore/Select DOM Boxes

SmartIgnore now includes all the features previously available in Strict comparison mode, giving you more control over visual testing.

  • Draw Regions: Highlight specific UI areas to focus on during visual tests.
  • Ignore/Select Regions via DOM Elements: Choose which components of the page to test or ignore by leveraging DOM elements.

For more details, head over to this guide on ignoring or selecting annotated regions.

Debug Your Flutter iOS Tests Using Console Logs

Debugging Flutter tests on iOS just got easier. Instead of sifting through long instrumentation logs just to find issues, you can now view console logs directly for debugging. 

With this update, you get actual Flutter logs, so identifying errors and fixing issues is way quicker—no unnecessary steps.

Important Update: Deprecation of iOS 12 and 13 Devices

Additionally, we are planning to deprecate iOS 13 devices in the near future. 

We understand the importance of a smooth transition, so we will provide at least two months' notice before their deprecations.

SmartUI: Better Annotation, Manage Screenshot Variants, and API Support

UX Enhancements in SmartUI Annotation Tool

We have improved the UX of the SmartUI Annotation Tool to ignore or select annotated regions. Now, you can draw regions directly while zooming, panning, and pinching on screenshots. The updated draw cursor option improves speed and accuracy for easier marking. 

Bulk Review to Manage Screenshot Variants Faster

To manage screenshot variants, we have added the new custom bulk review feature to accept, reject, or move multiple screenshot variants in one go. This reduces repetitive work, making the review process smoother and more efficient.

SmartIgnore Now Supports SmartUI APIs and Integrations

SmartIgnore now works seamlessly with SmartUI fetch APIs and external platforms like Slack and email. This makes it easier to integrate and automate your UI comparison process for better collaboration and efficiency.
