Firebase App Distribution Integration Now Available on LambdaTest

You can now integrate your Firebase App Distribution account directly with LambdaTest. It allows you to instantly push mobile apps to real Android and iOS devices in the cloud—no need to download and re-upload builds.

With this update, testing beta builds, bug fixes, or new features becomes much faster and more efficient. Simply link your Firebase project, and your mobile app is ready for testing on real devices within LambdaTest.

You can also easily share access to these mobile apps with your teammates, ensuring everyone is testing from the same source.

For more details, check out our documentation on testing mobile apps installed via Firebase.

Use VoiceOver to Manually Test Accessibility on iOS

You can now use VoiceOver on real iOS devices to manually test the accessibility of your mobile apps.

This means you can check how well your digital experience works for people who rely on screen readers—especially those with visual impairments. 

VoiceOver reads out loud what's on the screen, helping users navigate and interact with your content without needing to see it.

Latest KaneAI Release: What’s In It for You?

Change Application Under Test While Editing Mobile Test Cases

KaneAI now allows you to update or change the application under test while editing a mobile test case—without impacting the test creation process. 

This means you can switch between different app versions or configurations on the fly, ensuring your test cases stay relevant across multiple builds. 

Google Account Login Support for Android Native App Authoring

Creating test cases for Google-integrated apps just got easier. KaneAI now supports logging into a Google account on Android for native app authoring. You can leverage Google Play Store authentication to sign in without requiring Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). 

Debug Web Automated Tests With Network and Console Logs

Gain deeper insights into your web automation test runs with new logging capabilities. You can now capture and configure both network logs (requests, responses, API interactions) and console logs (JavaScript errors, browser outputs). 

These logs provide critical debugging data, helping testers analyze failures, optimize test performance, and ensure test stability. All logs are accessible post-execution for detailed review.

Run Web Tests With Chrome Options Support

For web tests, we have added Chrome Options in KaneAI that lets you fine-tune the testing environment to meet the needs of automated tests. It will help you control browser behavior before starting a test session.

Replace URL for Test Runs Across Different Environments 

You can now run the same test cases across multiple environments (e.g., staging, production) without modifying test scripts. With Dynamic URL Replacement, test runs can seamlessly adapt to different environments.

Use Smart Implicit Waits for Managing Network Requests

You can now use smart implicit waits in KaneAI to optimize your test execution. It eliminates the need for adding explicit waits and cuts short your test execution time.

Run KaneAI Tests With LambdaTest Tunnel

You can select a tunnel while executing tests on HyperExecute, both via UI and API. This enhancement allows testing on locally hosted applications directly through KaneAI on HyperExecute.

Stay Ahead With KaneAI: Explore the Latest Features

Check out the latest feature set of KaneAI that introduces several enhancements aimed at improving testing workflows, boosting efficiency, and refining automation. 👇 

📌 Create and Execute Test Plans With KaneAI-Generated Test Cases
We have rolled out a new feature that lets you create test plans with KaneAI-generated test cases and run them directly on HyperExecute. This means you can test across multiple browsers and operating systems at the same time, saving you time and effort. There’s no need for manual setup—just create your tests, and you can execute them right away in one smooth workflow.

📌 Natural Language Support for JSON Variable Validation
With this update, you can now validate JSON objects in KaneAI using natural language. This makes it easier to check complex JSON structures through API calls or JavaScript snippets within your KaneAI test cases. It simplifies things by reducing the need for manual assertions when dealing with dynamic JSON responses and makes JSON validation more accessible, even for those who aren't as technically inclined.

📌 Run Test Plans on Multiple Configurations
This feature allows you to run KaneAI-generated tests across multiple configurations all at once. You can execute a batch of tests in parallel, which helps save time and increases your efficiency.

📌 CI/CD Pipeline Integration for Test Plan Execution
Now, you can trigger test plan execution directly within your CI/CD pipeline. This update makes it easier to integrate testing into your development process, offering continuous testing and quicker feedback loops. It’s all automated, so developers and DevOps teams can focus on building without worrying about manually triggering tests.

📌 Run Native Automated Tests Using Appium With Java
You can now generate Appium Java test scripts for native app automation. This makes it much easier to automate tests for mobile apps using Appium and integrates well with your existing setup. If you're working on mobile automation, this feature helps you get started quickly by generating the code you need.

📌 Modules for Web and App Tests
You can use KaneAI modules that let you group test steps into reusable modules, making it easier to create and maintain tests. You can use these modules for both web and app tests, saving time and reducing redundancy. It’s a simple way to make your test creation more efficient and organized.

📌 Variables for App Tests on Real Devices
You can now create and use variables in KaneAI for native app tests on real devices. This helps you automate your app tests more efficiently by handling dynamic variables for real-world testing. It’s a simple way to make sure your tests are accurate when running them on actual devices without any added complexity.

📌 Track Projects With Milestones

With Milestones feature in KaneAI lets users track critical project goals and feature releases by associating them with Test Runs. This way, you can have a clear and organized method to monitor progress toward project completion. 

📌 Test Plans and Builds are now Test Runs 

Test Runs now combine Test Plans and Builds into a single entity to simplify execution across multiple configurations.

📌 API Feature Enhancements
We've made some useful improvements to the API module, including support for PATCH requests, which gives you more flexibility in your API testing. We’ve also added the ability to use variables in API bodies, making dynamic testing easier and opening up more possibilities for complex scenarios. These changes improve the way you can test APIs, giving you more control over your testing process.
