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.

Support for Project Settings in SmartIgnore

SmartUI now has support for project settings in Smart Ignore. You can now include all project settings available in SmartUI, such as mismatch thresholds and advanced comparison configurations. Users can easily modify these settings to suit their specific visual testing needs. These enhancements provide a smoother and more customizable testing workflow.

Redesigned SmartUI Screenshot Dashboard

The redesigned SmartUI screenshot dashboard delivers a faster and more intuitive visual testing experience. With features like pinch-to-zoom, side drawer navigation, and a spacious layout, it simplifies workflows and boosts efficiency. The updates focus on enhancing productivity by making critical actions quicker and easier to perform.

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.
