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’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.

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.

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

We've enhanced the SmartUI CLI package by adding an image upload feature. This new feature allows you to upload images directly from a specified directory to SmartUI for visual testing.
It works similarly to our current API upload functionality but includes additional features, such as support for the Git branching strategy.
Key features of the SmartUI CLI for image upload:
HyperExecute now supports Selenium versions 4.16 to 4.21. This update ensures broader options for test automation frameworks and provides access to the latest Selenium features.
To maintain browser compatibility and access the newest features, we've incorporated support for Firefox version 128. This update guarantees reliable testing on the latest Firefox releases.
We are live with real-time browser and app testing on iOS 18 simulators. Now, you can run your web and native mobile applications across various simulators running iOS 18 📱
