Now Take Responsive DOM Screenshots in SmartUI

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.

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. 

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

What’s New in HyperExecute: Detailed Cypress Logs, and Report Email Handling

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

Now Test on iPhone 16 Series

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

Now Test Mobile Accessibility on Android Devices

LambdaTest Real Time App Testing now supports the screen reader feature for testing mobile app accessibility on real Android devices. This feature allows you to navigate through app elements with spoken descriptions of the UI, similar to Google TalkBack. It helps ensure your Android app complies with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).


Note: Currently, we have rolled out this feature in beta.

To get started, refer to our documentation on Screen Reader (TalkBack) for Android.

HyperExecute: Set Dynamic Email Address for Report Sharing

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
  type: html
  frameworkName: extent
  email:
      to:
        - "${email}"
        - "${email1}"

uploadArtifacts:
  - name: Reports 1
    path:
      - ProtractorTestReport.html
    email:
      to: 
        - "${email}"
        - "${email1}"

This is how you can pass the value of your email address via CLI by running the command

./hyperexecute --vars "email=xyz@abc.com" --vars "email1=abc@xyz.com"

📕 Read the documentation - How to dynamically set your email address? to learn more about it.
