• 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.

Consolidated JUnit XML Report Generation

The consolidated JUnit XML report includes detailed information on all executed tests, i.e., which tests passed, failed, or were skipped, along with any error messages and stack traces for failed tests. It is widely supported across CI/CD tools, making it easy to integrate with existing workflows and other tools or systems.

📕 Refer to our documentation for detailed instructions on setting up your project and using the new JUnit XML report

Generate Artifacts for Espresso & XCUI Frameworks

Now, you can download artifacts for your test runs on both Espresso and XCUI frameworks and detailed reports for your Espresso test executions.

• To generate artifacts and reports for your Espresso tests, add the artifacts: true and reports: true flag in your YAML file and pass the --download-artifacts and --download-report flag with the CLI command

  📕 Refer to our detailed documentation to generate Espresso Artifacts and Reports

• To generate artifacts for your XCUI tests, add the artifacts: true flag in your YAML file and pass the --download-artifacts flag with the CLI command

  📕 Refer to our detailed documentation to generate XCUI Artifacts

Browser and Selenium Updates

• Firefox Browser Update to Version 132.0

  HyperExecute now supports Firefox version 132.0. This latest Firefox release includes performance and security improvements to ensure a smoother and safer testing experience.

  Note : Firefox 132.0 is currently not compatible with Cypress. Users running Cypress tests should continue to use a compatible Firefox version until an update is released.

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:

• Avoid false positives by managing displacement differences.
• Reduce visual noise so you can focus on meaningful content changes.
• Apply it globally via Project Settings or per screenshot using the Diff Options dropdown.

Currently, we have released the Smart Ignore feature in beta. You can enable Smart Ignore for free by contacting our sales team. 

For more details, check out the guide on Smart Ignore in SmartUI.
