Change Application Under Test While Editing Mobile Test Cases

KaneAI now allows you to update or change the application under test while editing a mobile test case—without impacting the test creation process. 

This means you can switch between different app versions or configurations on the fly, ensuring your test cases stay relevant across multiple builds. 

Google Account Login Support for Android Native App Authoring

Creating test cases for Google-integrated apps just got easier. KaneAI now supports logging into a Google account on Android for native app authoring. You can leverage Google Play Store authentication to sign in without requiring Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). 

Debug Web Automated Tests With Network and Console Logs

Gain deeper insights into your web automation test runs with new logging capabilities. You can now capture and configure both network logs (requests, responses, API interactions) and console logs (JavaScript errors, browser outputs). 

These logs provide critical debugging data, helping testers analyze failures, optimize test performance, and ensure test stability. All logs are accessible post-execution for detailed review.

Run Web Tests With Chrome Options Support

For web tests, we have added Chrome Options in KaneAI that lets you fine-tune the testing environment to meet the needs of automated tests. It will help you control browser behavior before starting a test session.

Replace URL for Test Runs Across Different Environments 

You can now run the same test cases across multiple environments (e.g., staging, production) without modifying test scripts. With Dynamic URL Replacement, test runs can seamlessly adapt to different environments.

Use Smart Implicit Waits for Managing Network Requests

You can now use smart implicit waits in KaneAI to optimize your test execution. It eliminates the need for adding explicit waits and cuts short your test execution time.

Run KaneAI Tests With LambdaTest Tunnel

You can select a tunnel while executing tests on HyperExecute, both via UI and API. This enhancement allows testing on locally hosted applications directly through KaneAI on HyperExecute.

Check out the latest feature set of KaneAI that introduces several enhancements aimed at improving testing workflows, boosting efficiency, and refining automation. 👇 

📌 Create and Execute Test Plans With KaneAI-Generated Test Cases
We have rolled out a new feature that lets you create test plans with KaneAI-generated test cases and run them directly on HyperExecute. This means you can test across multiple browsers and operating systems at the same time, saving you time and effort. There’s no need for manual setup—just create your tests, and you can execute them right away in one smooth workflow.

📌 Natural Language Support for JSON Variable Validation
With this update, you can now validate JSON objects in KaneAI using natural language. This makes it easier to check complex JSON structures through API calls or JavaScript snippets within your KaneAI test cases. It simplifies things by reducing the need for manual assertions when dealing with dynamic JSON responses and makes JSON validation more accessible, even for those who aren't as technically inclined.

📌 Run Test Plans on Multiple Configurations
This feature allows you to run KaneAI-generated tests across multiple configurations all at once. You can execute a batch of tests in parallel, which helps save time and increases your efficiency.

📌 CI/CD Pipeline Integration for Test Plan Execution
Now, you can trigger test plan execution directly within your CI/CD pipeline. This update makes it easier to integrate testing into your development process, offering continuous testing and quicker feedback loops. It’s all automated, so developers and DevOps teams can focus on building without worrying about manually triggering tests.

📌 Run Native Automated Tests Using Appium With Java
You can now generate Appium Java test scripts for native app automation. This makes it much easier to automate tests for mobile apps using Appium and integrates well with your existing setup. If you're working on mobile automation, this feature helps you get started quickly by generating the code you need.

📌 Modules for Web and App Tests
You can use KaneAI modules that let you group test steps into reusable modules, making it easier to create and maintain tests. You can use these modules for both web and app tests, saving time and reducing redundancy. It’s a simple way to make your test creation more efficient and organized.

📌 Variables for App Tests on Real Devices
You can now create and use variables in KaneAI for native app tests on real devices. This helps you automate your app tests more efficiently by handling dynamic variables for real-world testing. It’s a simple way to make sure your tests are accurate when running them on actual devices without any added complexity.

📌 Track Projects With Milestones

With Milestones feature in KaneAI lets users track critical project goals and feature releases by associating them with Test Runs. This way, you can have a clear and organized method to monitor progress toward project completion. 

📌 Test Plans and Builds are now Test Runs 

Test Runs now combine Test Plans and Builds into a single entity to simplify execution across multiple configurations.

📌 API Feature Enhancements
We've made some useful improvements to the API module, including support for PATCH requests, which gives you more flexibility in your API testing. We’ve also added the ability to use variables in API bodies, making dynamic testing easier and opening up more possibilities for complex scenarios. These changes improve the way you can test APIs, giving you more control over your testing process.

To get started with KaneAI and try out the above features, check out this KaneAI documentation.

• Smart baseline strategy for SmartUI to streamline the process of updating baselines for approved screenshots, reducing manual intervention, and improving the overall efficiency of the testing workflow.

• Now take multiple screenshots in a build and give them the same name. This is useful for comparing different stages or elements, as you're not limited to just one screenshot with the same name in a build. This overwrite screenshot feature in Smart UI will replace (overwrite) the latest screenshot with the previous ones in that build.

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

• New security features in the LambdaTest Tunnel to configure security options for the tunnel to restrict tunnel creation to specific users, turn tunnel sharing on or off, and control which local domains are accessible (or inaccessible) through the tunnel. 
• Audit logs in LambdaTest Tunnel for user and organization-level activities to monitor account activity, detect unauthorized access, investigate security incidents, track user-level and organization-level activity history, and audit compliance with security policies.
• Password and access key expiry policy to let organization administrators set the duration of password and access key expiry. After that, users can create a new password and/or use the regenerated access key. Admins will also be able to exempt certain users from the application of this policy. 
• LambdaTest integration with Zenkit for tracking and managing bugs and issues. With this integration, you can effortlessly log bugs directly from the LambdaTest platform to your Zenkit instance, eliminating the need to maintain tasks and issues manually.
