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. 

For more details, check out the guide on Smart Ignore in SmartUI.

Now perform live debugging of your app automated tests. This feature lets you interact with your automated tests in real time, enhancing your debugging experience right from the App Automation dashboard. 

With live inspection for app automation, you can:

• Activate Live Debug mode during the test execution.
• Use the Live Debug mode to access extended UI Inspector capabilities.
• Interact directly with the app on the real device, inspect UI frames, and perform debugging actions.
• Debug your automation scripts without interrupting ongoing tests, ensuring focused and efficient testing.

Other Enhancements:

• You can now leverage Appium plugins in App Automation to elevate your automated app testing. These plugins modify Appium's behavior, enabling you to customize your testing environment for greater efficiency and effectiveness tailored to your specific needs.
