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.
