We have introduced the Teams feature for private real device cloud to streamline resource management within organizations. 

With this feature, organizations can get the following benefits:

• 📌 Allocate Devices: Admins can now assign private cloud devices to specific teams, ensuring resources are divided effectively.
• 🔒 Exclusive Access: Team members can have secure, dedicated access to their allocated devices for efficient testing workflows.
• 🛠️ Streamline Management: Teams can manage devices more easily and optimize their testing process.

To get started, check out this guide on private device allocation to teams.

• 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.

In App Automation, you can now get app profiling metrics from your test sessions using an API. You can add this API to your CI/CD pipelines or automation frameworks. This allows you to get real-time performance data—like CPU usage, memory, disk usage, and network activity.

To get the profiling details, send a request to the LambdaTest API. Use your LambdaTest Username, Access Key, and the session ID. The response will include the metrics in JSON format. This makes it easy to link with other tools or reporting systems for more analysis.

Bonus: We have also added support for network log features for Espresso (Sharding/ Non Sharding) and Flutter Android tests. To get started, refer to this guide on Supported Espresso Capabilities.

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.

• Selenium JAR Update to Version 4.26.0

  HyperExecute has upgraded to Selenium JAR version 4.26.0. This update includes stability enhancements and bug fixes for better compatibility and reliability across various browsers

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.

HyperExecute Projects now supports Bitbucket repositories for workflow scheduling. You can seamlessly connect and manage workflows using either GitHub or Bitbucket repositories.

Key Functionalities:

• Connect Bitbucket repositories using Repository Access Tokens
• Schedule and automate workflows from Bitbucket repositories
• Maintain existing GitHub integration with unchanged functionality

📕 Refer to this documentation on HyperExecute Projects.

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.

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

LambdaTest now supports the latest iPhone 16 series with iOS 18 on its real device cloud, enabling precise manual and automated testing for mobile apps. Ensure cross-browser compatibility, UI responsiveness, and native app performance on real iPhone 16 devices.

You can test on the following iPhone 16 models:

• iPhone 16
• iPhone 16 Plus
• iPhone 16 Pro
• iPhone 16 Pro Max
