Introducing the HyperExecute MCP Server

To test at scale, configuring test runners, managing executions, and fixing errors often leads to delays. To tackle this, we have launched the HyperExecute MCP Server that reduces weeks of test configuration to minutes. 

It’s an AI-native solution that understands your codebase, generates test commands, and automatically creates YAML configuration files within your IDE.

With real-time insights powered by Agentic RAG support, you can run tests up to 70% faster than with traditional cloud grids.

For more details, refer to this blog on what is HyperExecute MCP Server.

App Automation: Latest Feature Updates

Interact With Android and iOS Devices in Real-Time 

You can now interact with real Android and iOS devices in real-time during web automation tests. This means you can inspect UI elements, check device behavior, and troubleshoot any issues instantly, without waiting for the test to complete.

Control Bluetooth Settings During Test Sessions

You now have the ability to turn Bluetooth on or off on real Android and iOS devices during your test sessions. This feature is supported for both manual and automated testing. So, it’s easier than ever to validate Bluetooth-dependent features within your test flow.

For example,

enableBluetooth: true 

Set Custom GPS Coordinates for Mobile Test Automation

You can now set custom GPS coordinates during your tests for Espresso, XCUITest, and Flutter. This makes it simple to simulate different locations and test location-based scenarios.

For example,

"location": {"lat": "-50","long": "150.028333"}

SmartUI Gets an Upgrade: Check Out the New Additions

Highlight Specific Areas and Use DOM Rules with SmartIgnore

SmartIgnore now gives you more control during visual testing. You can draw boxes around the parts of your web app you want to test. This is helpful when only certain parts of the UI matter for your test.

You can also ignore or select annotated regions of the web page by using DOM elements. For example, you can skip over elements like rotating ads or banners that change all the time. This helps avoid false alerts and keeps your tests focused on real UI changes.

SmartUI Now Supports Selenium SDK Capabilities

If you’re using Selenium with Java or JavaScript, you can now define browser, OS, and resolution settings directly in your test script using the SmartUI Selenium SDK capabilities. No need for separate config files. This makes your test setup faster and more reliable across environments.

Manage Snapshot Server with SmartUI CLI Exec Commands

You can now start, stop, or check the status of the snapshot server right from your terminal using SmartUI CLI Exec commands. This makes it easier to manage the server during test runs and reduces issues caused by server mismanagement.

Visual Testing for Mobile Apps Using Appium

SmartUI App SDK now works with Appium (Java) to run visual tests on real devices. You can also plug this into your CI/CD setup and run tests on platforms like LambdaTest.

Run Visual Tests on iOS with XCUITest

SmartUI now supports the XCUITest framework. You can run iOS visual tests with XCUITest, capture screenshots during tests, and compare them to previous versions to catch UI issues early.

Run Localhost Visual Tests Using Tunnel

If your web application runs in a private or staging environment, you can still test it visually using Tunnel in SmartUI. Just open a secure tunnel from your machine and run your tests as usual. It helps you find layout bugs before releasing it to users without exposing your web application online.

Firebase App Distribution Integration Now Available on LambdaTest

You can now integrate your Firebase App Distribution account directly with LambdaTest. It allows you to instantly push mobile apps to real Android and iOS devices in the cloud—no need to download and re-upload builds.

With this update, testing beta builds, bug fixes, or new features becomes much faster and more efficient. Simply link your Firebase project, and your mobile app is ready for testing on real devices within LambdaTest.

You can also easily share access to these mobile apps with your teammates, ensuring everyone is testing from the same source.

For more details, check out our documentation on testing mobile apps installed via Firebase.

Use VoiceOver to Manually Test Accessibility on iOS

You can now use VoiceOver on real iOS devices to manually test the accessibility of your mobile apps.

This means you can check how well your digital experience works for people who rely on screen readers—especially those with visual impairments. 

VoiceOver reads out loud what's on the screen, helping users navigate and interact with your content without needing to see it.

New Feature: Reports in Test Manager

We have added the Reports feature in Test Manager. Now, you can easily track and analyze your testing data with the ability to view, schedule, and download reports. 

These reports will give you insights into detailed test execution history, how your tests are running over time, and the traceability report, which helps you track test cases, requirements, and defects all in one place.

Latest KaneAI Release: What’s In It for You?

Change Application Under Test While Editing Mobile Test Cases

KaneAI now allows you to update or change the application under test while editing a mobile test case—without impacting the test creation process. 

This means you can switch between different app versions or configurations on the fly, ensuring your test cases stay relevant across multiple builds. 

Google Account Login Support for Android Native App Authoring

Creating test cases for Google-integrated apps just got easier. KaneAI now supports logging into a Google account on Android for native app authoring. You can leverage Google Play Store authentication to sign in without requiring Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). 

Debug Web Automated Tests With Network and Console Logs

Gain deeper insights into your web automation test runs with new logging capabilities. You can now capture and configure both network logs (requests, responses, API interactions) and console logs (JavaScript errors, browser outputs). 

These logs provide critical debugging data, helping testers analyze failures, optimize test performance, and ensure test stability. All logs are accessible post-execution for detailed review.

Run Web Tests With Chrome Options Support

For web tests, we have added Chrome Options in KaneAI that lets you fine-tune the testing environment to meet the needs of automated tests. It will help you control browser behavior before starting a test session.

Replace URL for Test Runs Across Different Environments 

You can now run the same test cases across multiple environments (e.g., staging, production) without modifying test scripts. With Dynamic URL Replacement, test runs can seamlessly adapt to different environments.

Use Smart Implicit Waits for Managing Network Requests

You can now use smart implicit waits in KaneAI to optimize your test execution. It eliminates the need for adding explicit waits and cuts short your test execution time.

Run KaneAI Tests With LambdaTest Tunnel

You can select a tunnel while executing tests on HyperExecute, both via UI and API. This enhancement allows testing on locally hosted applications directly through KaneAI on HyperExecute.
