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.

Introducing Smart Ignore in SmartUI

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.

What’s New in HyperExecute: Detailed Cypress Logs, and Report Email Handling

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.

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.
