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.
