HyperExecute: Supercharge Testing With the Latest Features

Let’s delve into the latest enhancements and features that will take your testing experience with HyperExecute to new heights.

Quick Insights Access Using Test Summary Hyperlinks

Now, you can click directly on test statuses within your summary using hyperlinks. These links will automatically take you to the relevant section of the automation dashboard.

There, you’ll find detailed information about the specific test you clicked on. So, no more hunting around – the dashboard opens the required tab for you, making it easier than ever to get the test insights you need.

Check out our guide on Test Summary Hyperlinks and learn how to activate it.

Run Katalon Tests Across Versions With HyperExecute

HyperExecute just got much more productive for Katalon users. You can now leverage the capabilities of the HyperExecute platform to run tests written with multiple versions of Katalon. This will help you achieve greater flexibility and better adaptation to your specific testing needs.

To run Katalon tests on HyperExecute, you need to specify a runtime flag in the YAML file:

runtime:
 - language: katalon
   version: 8.6.5

Hide Sensitive Test Details Using Lambda Masking

Test recordings are helpful for debugging purposes. However, they may inadvertently capture sensitive data like passwords, location details, etc. This data exposure can be a security nightmare.

To tackle this challenge, HyperExecute now provides a Lambda Masking feature. For this, you need to provide the lambdaMaskCommands key in your test scripts.

For more information, please refer to the documentation – Playwright capabilities.

SmartUI: Capture Screenshots and Test on Mobile Viewports

In SmartUI, you can now test on mobile device viewports using SmartUI SDK. Along with that, SmartUI SDK allows you to take screenshots of elements. Plus, you can also capture screenshots in native mobile apps on a real device cloud.

Test on Mobile Viewports Using SmartUI SDK

You can now configure settings for mobile viewports in the JSON configuration file of SmartUI SDK. This includes options for taking full-page screenshots and controlling device orientation. With these customizable settings, you can perform end-to-end visual testing on web and mobile viewports.

In desktop environments, we’re emulating mobile viewports. When it comes to Android devices, the screenshots will be displayed using Chrome, while for iOS devices, it’ll be Safari.

Note: We are in the process of rolling out the support for simulation on iOS devices.

Take Screenshots of Elements With SmartUI SDK

Now, you can capture screenshots of elements on your web applications. You can easily specify the element you want to capture using ID, Class, XPath, or other locators. This ensures performing visual regression testing of different components of your web applications.

You can pass the following locators to capture the screenshots of an element.

ID:

let options = {
      element: {
          id: 'Required ID',
      }
  };
        await driver.get('Required URL');
        await smartuiSnapshot(driver, 'Screenshot Name', options);

Class:

let options = {
      element: {
          class: 'Required Class',
      }
  };
        await driver.get('Required URL');
        await smartuiSnapshot(driver, 'Screenshot Name', options);

XPath:

let options = {
      element: {
          xpath: 'Required Xpath',
      }
  };
        await driver.get('Required URL');
        await smartuiSnapshot(driver, 'Screenshot Name', options);

CSS Selector:

let options = {
      element: {
          cssSelector: 'Required CSS Selector',
      }
  };
        await driver.get('Required URL');
        await smartuiSnapshot(driver, 'Screenshot Name', options);

Capture Full-Page Screenshots on Real Devices

You can now take full-page screenshots in native apps. This allows developers and testers to efficiently capture comprehensive screenshots of entire pages, helping you perform detailed testing across various devices and screen sizes.

To capture full-page screenshots on real devices, you need to specify the webhook:

Map<String, Object> config = new HashMap<>();
config.put("screenshotName", "<Your Screenshot Name>");
config.put("fullPage", true);
config.put("pageCount", 15); // Enter the number of pages for the Full Page screenshot (Minimum 1, Maximum 20)
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).execute("smartui.takeScreenshot", config);

For optimal results with your full-page screenshots, it’s recommended to use a page count value within the range of 1 to 20, tailored to suit your specific use case.
