New in SmartUI: Fetch Results and Parallel Execution of Static URLs

SmartUI CLI just got better! The following latest updates make visual testing faster and more efficient with live result fetching and the ability to run multiple URL captures at once. 📷 

  • Fetch Results in SmartUI CLI: The SmartUI CLI now provides the ability to fetch your build results during visual test execution. This way, you can access live, comprehensive information about your builds and screenshots in a JSON format. Refer to this guide on fetching results in SmartUI CLI.
  • Parallel Execution of Static URLs in SmartUI CLI: SmartUI CLI also introduces parallel execution for static URLs that will help you improve the speed of visual testing. By enabling multiple URL captures to run simultaneously, execution time can be reduced by up to multiple folds. To get started, refer to this guide on parallel execution of static URLs.

Fetch Mobile App Profile Metrics Using API

In App Automation, you can now get app profiling metrics from your test sessions using an API. You can add this API to your CI/CD pipelines or automation frameworks. This allows you to get real-time performance data—like CPU usage, memory, disk usage, and network activity.

To get the profiling details, send a request to the LambdaTest API. Use your LambdaTest Username, Access Key, and the session ID. The response will include the metrics in JSON format. This makes it easy to link with other tools or reporting systems for more analysis.

To get started, refer to this guide on fetching app profiling metrics using API.

Now Take Responsive DOM Screenshots in SmartUI

If your website modifies the DOM based on viewport size or specific breakpoints, LambdaTest SmartUI SDK now offers configurable options to adapt to these changes seamlessly. 

When using the SmartUI CLI, the SDK captures the DOM state precisely at the specified viewport size within the test browser and then renders it across the various browsers and resolutions defined in your configuration file.

To get started, check out this guide on capturing responsive DOM screenshots.

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.
