Live With Accessibility Automation

TestMu AI has released Accessibility Automation, which helps you perform automated accessibility testing and find and fix accessibility issues on your website and web apps. This ensures everyone, including people with impairments, can use your website easily.

To automate your accessibility tests, you need to set the capability accessibility: true in your test script.

capabilities: [{
    accessibility : true,                 // Enable accessibility testing
    accessibility.wcagVersion: 'wcag21a', // Specify WCAG version (e.g., WCAG 2.1 Level A)
    accessibility.bestPractice: false,    // Exclude best practice issues from results
    accessibility.needsReview: true       // Include issues that need review
  }]

Once you run the test, our Accessibility Automation Dashboard will give detailed insights into your test executions.

To get started, check out the documentation: Accessibility Automation Testing.

Test on the Latest iPad Air and iPad Pro

TestMu AI has expanded its real device cloud offerings to include the latest iPad Air and Pro models for manual and automated app testing. This means you can now test your iOS apps on:

• iPad Air 11 and 13 (2024)
• iPad Pro 11 and 13 (2024)

With this new addition, you no longer need to rely on in-house device labs. You can run both manual and automated tests at scale on an online device farm to ensure your app provides a seamless user experience on these devices.

This helps developers and testers looking to streamline their testing process and ensure cross-device compatibility across the latest iPads.

Bonus addition: We have added the Regular Expression (RegEx) support for the platformVersion capability. There may be an instance where the exact platform version you choose isn’t available. This is where RegEx helps you to widen your search criteria to find any platform version that matches your requirements.
