UX Enhancements in SmartUI Annotation Tool

We have improved the UX of the SmartUI Annotation Tool to ignore or select annotated regions. Now, you can draw regions directly while zooming, panning, and pinching on screenshots. The updated draw cursor option improves speed and accuracy for easier marking. 

Bulk Review to Manage Screenshot Variants Faster

To manage screenshot variants, we have added the new custom bulk review feature to accept, reject, or move multiple screenshot variants in one go. This reduces repetitive work, making the review process smoother and more efficient.

SmartIgnore Now Supports SmartUI APIs and Integrations

SmartIgnore now works seamlessly with SmartUI fetch APIs and external platforms like Slack and email. This makes it easier to integrate and automate your UI comparison process for better collaboration and efficiency.

Test Cases Insights Now Supports Web Automation 📊 

LambdaTest Insights now lets you view test case insights for web automated tests. You can use dynamic selectors, manage complex user interactions, and verify visual elements across browsers, all while benefiting from our detailed reports and analytics.

Compare Builds and Analyze Results With Build Comparison Insights ♻ 

We have now added the Build Comparison feature in Insights to compare builds and analyze results. It gives you a clear view of your test execution history, making it easy to spot regressions and bringing all the important information into one easy-to-view screen.

Create and Authenticate Projects Using Project Name

SmartUI CLI now supports creating and authenticating projects using project names. This addition enhances the existing project token-based authentication, offering more flexibility. You can set the project name in SmartUI as an environment variable for seamless project creation or access during CLI runs.

Handle Missing Screenshots in Git Strategy

SmartUI now lets you handle builds with missing screenshots to prevent false baseline updates. Builds missing screenshots are flagged, and if no visual changes are detected, they are auto-approved but marked as "Incomplete." This ensures accurate baselines and helps users identify potential execution issues.

Group Screenshots With Build Names

SmartUI CLI now supports grouping screenshots with build names, improving traceability. You can append new screenshots to existing builds, making test management more efficient. This feature integrates seamlessly with Git to maintain baseline integrity across branches and enhance adaptability.

Enhanced Comparison and Management in Smart Ignore

SmartUI Smart Ignore now supports advanced comparison strategies, offering greater flexibility in visual testing. You can define mismatch percentages and status changes with the choice between Strict and Smart Ignore modes. These customizable settings allow for precise and adaptable testing across various scenarios.

Support for Project Settings in SmartIgnore

SmartUI now has support for project settings in Smart Ignore. You can now include all project settings available in SmartUI, such as mismatch thresholds and advanced comparison configurations. Users can easily modify these settings to suit their specific visual testing needs. These enhancements provide a smoother and more customizable testing workflow.

Redesigned SmartUI Screenshot Dashboard

The redesigned SmartUI screenshot dashboard delivers a faster and more intuitive visual testing experience. With features like pinch-to-zoom, side drawer navigation, and a spacious layout, it simplifies workflows and boosts efficiency. The updates focus on enhancing productivity by making critical actions quicker and easier to perform.

• Drill-Down Capability: Click any widget data point to explore test case details, failure patterns, and test execution history.
• Streamline Navigation: Simplify analysis by eliminating extra navigation steps.

Enhancements in Insights Usage Reports 📈 

We have enhanced the Insights Usage Reports so that you get a detailed view of your team’s testing patterns, empowering better resource management. This will help you get the following benefits:

• Granular User-Level Insights: Track individual team members' device usage with precision.
• Detailed Metrics: Clearly differentiate time spent on physical devices versus virtual devices.
• Resource Optimization: Leverage insights to identify bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and plan capacity effectively.

Start Testing

The Usage Reports in Insights now include sharing and download capabilities, allowing you and your teams to collaborate more efficiently. The new download functionality enables you to export usage statistics in PDF format, with support for custom date ranges.

• 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.  

Start Testing 🚀 

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.
