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. 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 - General Availability (GA)

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

HyperExecute: Set Dynamic Email Address for Report Sharing

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"

HyperExecute: Accessibility Testing Support for Selenium and Cypress

HyperExecute now supports Accessibility Testing for both Selenium and Cypress! This update enables you to ensure that your web applications comply with accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.2 AA.

Benefits of Accessibility Testing in HyperExecute

With this feature, you can seamlessly validate a range of accessibility issues to create more inclusive and user-friendly web applications. Here's how it benefits you:

  • Automated Issue Detection: Identify common accessibility problems such as missing alt attributes, incorrect ARIA roles, and insufficient color contrast—early in the development process.
  • Detailed Accessibility Reports: Receive comprehensive reports that pinpoint accessibility issues, with actionable recommendations for resolving them.
  • Improved Compliance: Ensure your applications adhere to critical accessibility guidelines like WCAG 2.2 AA or previous versions: WCAG 2.0 A, WCAG 2.0 AA, WCAG 2.1 A, WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.1 AAA, and WCAG 2.2 A, helping you avoid legal risks and create a better experience for all users.

How to Use:

  • For Selenium Users: To start accessibility testing with Selenium, you have to pass "accessibility", true capability in your test files.

📕 Check out our detailed guide on executing your accessibility tests using Selenium on HyperExecute.

  • For Cypress Users: To start accessibility testing with Cypress, you have to pass accessibility: true capability in the cypressOps flag of your YAML file as well as update other necessary configurations in your project.

📕 Follow our step-by-step documentation to set up and run accessibility checks in Cypress v10 or Cypress v9 on HyperExecute.
