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.

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.

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.

Artifact Extraction on Job Abortion

• Artifacts will now be extracted even if a job is aborted in the middle of a test.
• This ensures that partial test results and logs are still available for review, improving debugging and post-test analysis.

afterEachScenario Flag for Test Cleanup

• Introduced the afterEachScenario flag to automate post-test scenario tasks. This flag is useful for cleanup activities such as clearing cookies, resetting databases, or capturing logs.
• Commands or scripts listed under this flag will execute sequentially after each test scenario, ensuring test isolation and consistency.

📘 Refer to our detailed documentation for afterEachScenario flag

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Projects

• Implemented RBAC to enhance project security and access management.
• Users can now be assigned specific roles with defined permissions.

This feature improves security by ensuring that only authorized users can access or modify project settings and resources.

UX Enhancements for Performance Testing Jobs

• Improved UI/UX for managing and analyzing performance testing jobs.
• Enhanced navigation and usability for a smoother experience.
• Group-Wise Error View
  • Introduced an error grouping feature to help identify and troubleshoot issues efficiently.
  • Errors are now categorized for better readability and quicker resolution.
• Toggle Metrics: ms ↔️ s
  • Added the ability to toggle performance metrics between milliseconds (ms) and seconds (s).
• Provides flexibility for analyzing test execution times in preferred units.

Browser Version Updates

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.
