New in SmartUI: Fetch Results and Parallel Execution of Static URLs

SmartUI CLI just got better! The following latest updates make visual testing faster and more efficient with live result fetching and the ability to run multiple URL captures at once. 📷 

  • 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.

Introducing Smart Ignore in SmartUI

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.
