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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
LambdaTest now supports the latest iPhone 16 series with iOS 18 on its real device cloud, enabling precise manual and automated testing for mobile apps. Ensure cross-browser compatibility, UI responsiveness, and native app performance on real iPhone 16 devices.
You can test on the following iPhone 16 models:
LambdaTest Real Time App Testing now supports the screen reader feature for testing mobile app accessibility on real Android devices. This feature allows you to navigate through app elements with spoken descriptions of the UI, similar to Google TalkBack. It helps ensure your Android app complies with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Note: Currently, we have rolled out this feature in beta.
To get started, refer to our documentation on Screen Reader (TalkBack) for Android.
Now, test your Android apps on the latest Google Pixel 9 using our real device cloud.
This allows you to perform both manual and automated tests on a real Google Pixel 9, ensuring your mobile applications function as expected and are fully compatible with the Google Pixel 9.
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.
