Support for Appium and Maestro Android Emulator

HyperExecute now supports the Appium and the Maestro Android Emulator, providing enhanced flexibility for mobile application testing on Android emulators.

Key Features:

  • Streamlined Emulator Integration: Perform testing on virtual devices without requiring physical hardware, reducing setup complexity.
  • Parallel Execution: Run multiple tests simultaneously on virtual devices using HyperExecute’s parallelism to speed up test cycles and reduce execution time for functional and UI tests.
  • Customizable Capabilities: You can define emulator configurations such as device name, platform version, and orientation directly within your test files.

📕 Refer to our detailed documentation for Appium and Maestro on configuring and running tests with Android emulators.

New Version Release for Beta and Dev Edge Browser

HyperExecute expands its support for the latest versions of dev and beta browsers for the Windows platform. With this expanded compatibility, you can streamline your testing process and confidently deliver exceptional user experiences!

  • Dev version: 132.0.2957.11

New in SmartUI: Fetch Results and Parallel Execution of Static URLs

SmartUI CLI just got better! The following latest updates make visual testing faster and more efficient with live result fetching and the ability to run multiple URL captures at once. 📷 

  • Fetch Results in SmartUI CLI: The SmartUI CLI now provides the ability to fetch your build results during visual test execution. This way, you can access live, comprehensive information about your builds and screenshots in a JSON format. Refer to this guide on fetching results in SmartUI CLI.
  • Parallel Execution of Static URLs in SmartUI CLI: SmartUI CLI also introduces parallel execution for static URLs that will help you improve the speed of visual testing. By enabling multiple URL captures to run simultaneously, execution time can be reduced by up to multiple folds. To get started, refer to this guide on parallel execution of static URLs.

Fetch Mobile App Profile Metrics Using API

In App Automation, you can now get app profiling metrics from your test sessions using an API. You can add this API to your CI/CD pipelines or automation frameworks. This allows you to get real-time performance data—like CPU usage, memory, disk usage, and network activity.

To get the profiling details, send a request to the LambdaTest API. Use your LambdaTest Username, Access Key, and the session ID. The response will include the metrics in JSON format. This makes it easy to link with other tools or reporting systems for more analysis.

To get started, refer to this guide on fetching app profiling metrics using API.

Bonus: We have also added support for network log features for Espresso (Sharding/ Non Sharding) and Flutter Android tests. To get started, refer to this guide on Supported Espresso Capabilities.

HyperExecute Update: Consolidated Reports, Artifacts, and Browser Support

Consolidated JUnit XML Report Generation

The consolidated JUnit XML report includes detailed information on all executed tests, i.e., which tests passed, failed, or were skipped, along with any error messages and stack traces for failed tests. It is widely supported across CI/CD tools, making it easy to integrate with existing workflows and other tools or systems.

📕 Refer to our documentation for detailed instructions on setting up your project and using the new JUnit XML report

Generate Artifacts for Espresso & XCUI Frameworks

Now, you can download artifacts for your test runs on both Espresso and XCUI frameworks and detailed reports for your Espresso test executions.

  • To generate artifacts and reports for your Espresso tests, add the artifacts: true and reports: true flag in your YAML file and pass the --download-artifacts and --download-report flag with the CLI command

    📕 Refer to our detailed documentation to generate Espresso Artifacts and Reports

  • To generate artifacts for your XCUI tests, add the artifacts: true flag in your YAML file and pass the --download-artifacts flag with the CLI command

    📕 Refer to our detailed documentation to generate XCUI Artifacts

Browser and Selenium Updates

  • Firefox Browser Update to Version 132.0

    HyperExecute now supports Firefox version 132.0. This latest Firefox release includes performance and security improvements to ensure a smoother and safer testing experience.

    Note : Firefox 132.0 is currently not compatible with Cypress. Users running Cypress tests should continue to use a compatible Firefox version until an update is released.

  • Selenium JAR Update to Version 4.26.0

    HyperExecute has upgraded to Selenium JAR version 4.26.0. This update includes stability enhancements and bug fixes for better compatibility and reliability across various browsers

Now Take Responsive DOM Screenshots in SmartUI

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.

Test Accessibility of Your iOS Apps on Real Devices

LambdaTest now supports manual accessibility testing of iOS apps (web and native) on real device cloud. With this feature, you can ensure that your iOS apps are accessible to all users, including those with impairments. 

On real iOS devices, you can now test various accessibility settings, like:

  • Text Size Adjustments: Test how your app responds to different text sizes.
  • Contrast Settings: Ensure that content remains clear and readable with high-contrast modes.
  • Motion Reduction: Verify your mobile app’s compatibility with reduced-motion settings for a smoother, less animated experience.

To get started, check out this guide on accessibility testing on iOS devices.
