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.

Consolidated JUnit XML Report Generation

The consolidated JUnit XML report includes detailed information on all executed tests, i.e., which tests passed, failed, or were skipped, along with any error messages and stack traces for failed tests. It is widely supported across CI/CD tools, making it easy to integrate with existing workflows and other tools or systems.

📕 Refer to our documentation for detailed instructions on setting up your project and using the new JUnit XML report

Generate Artifacts for Espresso & XCUI Frameworks

Now, you can download artifacts for your test runs on both Espresso and XCUI frameworks and detailed reports for your Espresso test executions.

• To generate artifacts and reports for your Espresso tests, add the artifacts: true and reports: true flag in your YAML file and pass the --download-artifacts and --download-report flag with the CLI command

  📕 Refer to our detailed documentation to generate Espresso Artifacts and Reports

• To generate artifacts for your XCUI tests, add the artifacts: true flag in your YAML file and pass the --download-artifacts flag with the CLI command

  📕 Refer to our detailed documentation to generate XCUI Artifacts

Browser and Selenium Updates

• Firefox Browser Update to Version 132.0

  HyperExecute now supports Firefox version 132.0. This latest Firefox release includes performance and security improvements to ensure a smoother and safer testing experience.

  Note : Firefox 132.0 is currently not compatible with Cypress. Users running Cypress tests should continue to use a compatible Firefox version until an update is released.

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

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.
