Dec’21 Updates: Latest OS in Automation, Accessibility Testing, Custom Network Throttling & More!

Automation Testing On Cypress 9.0.0

Cypress came out with its third major release – Cypress 9.0.0. The new feature includes File encoding, and the bundled Node.js, electron, and Chrome browser versions have all been upgraded. There are also a few minor enhancements that can help you perform Cypress testing. For example, Cypress has improved its handling of sticky headers. Its recent version will help ensure that a sticky header does not obscure an element.

TestMu AI Automation now allows you to perform test automation on the latest – Cypress 9 across 40+ browser versions.

New Browsers In Automation

We have added all the newly released browser versions for Firefox, Edge, and Opera on our automation testing platform to help you evaluate your website’s rendering process.

Below are the new browsers that are added:

• Firefox 96 Beta, 95
• Edge 97 Beta
• Opera 82

Accessibility Testing Support In Real Time Testing

In November, we released a new feature: Accessibility testing for macOS Monterey, macOS Catalina, and macOS Big Sur. We are glad to announce that we have extended the support for Accessibility testing on other macOS versions and Windows 10.

You can now run accessibility tests using Screen Reader on macOS High Sierra, macOS Sierra, and macOS Mojave. Not only this, but you can also perform Accessibility testing on Windows 10 using NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access).

Bonus Addition: To play audio from the remote machines, we have now enabled the Microphone feature for online browser testing on macOS Big Sur and macOS Monterey.

New Browsers In Real Time Testing

You can now test your websites and web apps in real-time to ensure they work perfectly on the newly released browser versions like Chrome, Firefox Edge, and Opera. Other than this, we’ve also added Safari 15 for macOS Big Sur.

Shown below are the latest browsers for live-interactive testing.

• Chrome 97 Beta, 96
• Firefox 96 Beta, 95, 94
• Edge 97 Beta,96, 95
• Opera 82, 81

Let’s check browser compatibility between Chrome 97, Firefox 96, Edge 96, and Opera 82.

New Browsers In Screenshot Testing

With TestMu AI Automated Browser Screenshot testing, you can capture bulk screenshots of websites and web apps across desktop and mobile browsers.

The new browser versions for capturing automated screenshots are out.

• Chrome 96, 95
• Firefox 94
• Edge 95, 96
• Opera 81

We’ve also made one minor improvement in our Screenshot testing UI. Earlier in Screenshot Geolocation testing, while capturing screenshots for bug logging, the user couldn’t see the Geolocation info for their websites and web apps currently being tested.

We have now added Geolocation info that enables users to see the Geolocation info for their websites and web apps that are currently being tested in.

Test Mobile Web And Native Apps With Custom Network Throttling

TestMu AI offers network throttling to test websites in different network conditions like Offline, Slow 3G, Fast 3G, 4G, and 5G. In addition, with Custom network throttling, you can now test mobile web and native applications by creating your own throttling presets.

With this feature, you can customize the speeds for:

• Download
