SmartUI Just Got Better: New Features Added

SmartUI has introduced new features to improve visual testing accuracy and efficiency. These updates bring better control over region selection, enhanced automation, and seamless integrations. 

Here’s what’s new:

SmartIgnore Now Works With SmartUI Public APIs and Integrations

SmartIgnore now seamlessly integrates with SmartUI’s public APIs, making visual testing more flexible. You can use it with SmartUI fetch APIs to speed up and fine-tune visual comparisons. Plus, it supports email and Slack notifications, so you get real-time updates in your workflow.

Move PDFs and Their Pages to the Baseline

Now, you can move entire PDFs or specific pages to the baseline, giving you better control over approvals. This makes document and page-level verification smoother and more efficient.

Run JavaScript on Target URLs Using SmartUI CLI

SmartUI CLI now lets you execute JavaScript before taking snapshots. This means you can interact with dynamic elements, tweak content, and manage loading states. Check the documentation for details on running custom JavaScript with SmartUI.

Enhanced SmartIgnore: Draw Regions and Ignore/Select DOM Boxes

SmartIgnore now includes all the features previously available in Strict comparison mode, giving you more control over visual testing.

  • Draw Regions: Highlight specific UI areas to focus on during visual tests.
  • Ignore/Select Regions via DOM Elements: Choose which components of the page to test or ignore by leveraging DOM elements.

For more details, head over to this guide on ignoring or selecting annotated regions.

Debug Your Flutter iOS Tests Using Console Logs

Debugging Flutter tests on iOS just got easier. Instead of sifting through long instrumentation logs just to find issues, you can now view console logs directly for debugging. 

With this update, you get actual Flutter logs, so identifying errors and fixing issues is way quicker—no unnecessary steps.

Latest Releases in LambdaTest Insights

Filter Custom Data in Build Comparison

You can now filter and compare web automation builds with the new customData capability in Insights. This allows you to analyze specific test scenarios based on the tags or metadata you've defined.

New App Automation Widget

We have added a new widget for App Automation that gives you comprehensive visibility into your test execution metrics. 

With this widget, you can easily see key details like total tests, time used, and pass/fail rates. This helps you figure out where you can improve your testing and find issues quickly.


Excel Export for Usage Reports

You can now export your usage reports directly into Excel (.xlsx) format. This allows you to easily manipulate, analyze, and share the test data you used with your team. 


"Created By" Column in Dashboards

We've added a 'Created by' column to the Dashboard list, so you can easily see who created each dashboard. This makes finding the right dashboard and working with your team much simpler.


Easy Column Sorting in Data Tables

You now have more control over your data. Just click any column header to sort it and quickly find the information you need. This helps you prioritize metrics and see patterns faster.


Admin Controls for Dashboards

Our Insights platform now allows admins to manage all dashboards, ensuring consistent data and visualizations across the organization. They can update, delete, and modify dashboards as needed, keeping critical information accurate.  


Widget Filtering for Disabled/Deleted Tests

To make your dashboards easier to understand, you can now exclude disabled tests. This removes disabled and deleted tests from your data, giving you a better view of your current testing workflow.

Important Update: Deprecation of iOS 12 and 13 Devices

To enhance our platform and focus on the most widely used device versions, iOS 12 devices will no longer be available on LambdaTest Real Devices Cloud starting February 26th. 

Additionally, we are planning to deprecate iOS 13 devices in the near future. 

We understand the importance of a smooth transition, so we will provide at least two months' notice before their deprecations.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, our support team is here to help.

SmartUI: Better Annotation, Manage Screenshot Variants, and API Support

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.

SmartUI - Latest Features and Enhancements

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.
