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.

Hey there 👋 

We’ve just rolled out some awesome new features in our AI-powered Test Manager that will streamline your test management game. Let's walk through what’s new:

• Tagging and Preconditions: You can now import and map tags and preconditions to your test cases, making it way easier to keep everything organized and efficient.
• API Enhancements: Managing test data is smoother than ever. With new POST and PUT API capabilities, you can easily send or update test data—perfect for automating those updates into your CI/CD pipeline.
• CSV Export: Need to export test cases for reporting or analysis? You can now export everything in CSV format, giving you the flexibility to handle your test data however you like.
• BDD Scenarios: Stay on top of your progress by viewing and updating the status of your BDD scenarios in builds. 
• Manual Test Execution Updates: You can now add remarks and even attach files directly during manual test execution, giving you extra clarity and context for each case.
• TestRail Integration: Using TestRail for test management? You can now directly import test case data from TestRail, making your migration super easy.

We are live with two new additions to enhance your testing capabilities:

macOS Sequoia Support for Real Time Testing
You can now run your manual tests on the latest macOS Sequoia, ensuring compatibility with Apple’s newest operating system. Test your web applications across browsers in a real macOS Sequoia environment to catch potential issues early and improve the overall user experience for macOS users.

Android 15 Support on Google Pixel Emulators
Stay ahead of the curve by testing your mobile applications on Android 15 using Google Pixel emulators. Ensure your apps run smoothly on the latest Android version, checking for performance, UI responsiveness, and compatibility.

1. Cypress Detailed Command Logs for Enhanced Debugging New Release

Detailed Cypress Command Logs in HyperExecute generate an extensive, human-readable record of all Cypress commands and their corresponding results, both in the console and as a file. It helps narrow down test logs, making debugging and troubleshooting Cypress tests easier.

📕 Learn how to enable Detailed Command Logs for your Cypress tests.

2. Parameterized Report Email Handling in YAML Enhancement

HyperExecute now supports an enhanced approach for managing multiple email addresses within the YAML configuration file. Previously, you needed to define multiple variables for email addresses (${email1}, ${email2}, etc.). With this update, a single variable can now hold multiple email addresses, separated by commas or underscores, simplifying report sharing. This enhancement eliminates the need for multiple variables, making maintaining and modifying email configurations easier.

📕 Check the Reports documentation to learn more about it.

3. Browser and Selenium Updates for Linux, Windows, and macOS New Release

Updated the browser versions across multiple platforms and upgraded the Selenium jars. This ensures compatibility with the latest features and security updates, improving test stability across different environments.

The following updates are now live:

• Firefox: version 129.0
• Chrome: version 128.0
• Selenium Jars: version 4.24

HyperExecute Projects is now generally available (GA) and moving beyond the beta phase! Projects offer a centralized platform for organizing and managing your test executions to streamline your testing process more efficiently than ever before.

Key Updates:

• Centralized Test Management: Group similar tests, control access, and track progress within custom projects.
• Workflow Automation: Set up automated workflows with scheduled test executions and optional workflow linking.
• GitHub Integration: Support for GitHub repositories with easy setup for collaborative testing.
• Framework Support: Integration with Tosca, Tosca DEX, and JMeter for unified test management.

📕 Refer to our documentation on the HyperExecute Projects

Here are the latest features we have released in the Test Manager:

• Copy and Move Test Cases: You can now easily copy and move multiple test cases across folders and projects, simplifying test case organization and enhancing management efficiency.
• Link HyperExecute Tests: We've added support for linking HyperExecute tests with Test Cases for Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer, and Cypress, allowing for smooth integration of automated tests within Test Manager.
• Expanded Custom Fields: Test Cases now support seven new custom field data types, including Dropdown (Single and Multi Select), Number, URL, Date, User, and Boolean (Checkbox), offering greater flexibility for data management.
• Enhanced CSV Import: Our CSV import functionality now allows you to directly import test steps, expected outcomes, and BDD scenarios, streamlining test case management by bringing in comprehensive details at once.
• Include Test Case IDs: You can now add Test Case IDs directly into your web automation script capabilities (e.g., "tms.tc_id": "TC-101"), linking automation runs to specific test cases and simplifying test management.

HyperExecute CLI added an enhancement to the --vars flag providing greater flexibility in specifying email addresses for report and artefact sharing. You can now use a variable to dynamically set the email address used to share reports or artefacts. This gives you more flexibility than hardcoding the email address in the YAML configuration file.

report: true
partialReports:
  location: target/surefire-reports/html
  type: html
  frameworkName: extent
  email:
      to:
        - "${email}"
        - "${email1}"

uploadArtifacts:
  - name: Reports 1
    path:
      - ProtractorTestReport.html
    email:
      to: 
        - "${email}"
        - "${email1}"

This is how you can pass the value of your email address via CLI by running the command

./hyperexecute --vars "email=xyz@abc.com" --vars "email1=abc@xyz.com"

📕 Read the documentation - How to dynamically set your email address? to learn more about it.
