October’25 Updates: Enhanced App Authoring in KaneAI, Run SmartUI Tests With GitHub Actions and More!

Latest KaneAI Features for Enhanced Authoring

These new features in TestMu AI KaneAI let you control how mobile tests behave, simulate real device conditions, and validate advanced flows before execution begins inside your KaneAI authoring session.

New Mobile App Authoring Capabilities

Here are some of the latest mobile app authoring capabilities we rolled out in TestMu AI KaneAI:

• Disable Screenshot Block: Bypass screenshot restrictions enforced by the mobile application. This allows you to capture screens and author test cases without interruption. You enable this capability from advanced settings before starting test creation.
• Biometric Authentication Testing: Simulate fingerprint and face recognition flows to verify how your mobile application behaves during biometric authentication. This helps you evaluate identity checks across supported devices and platforms.

• Image Injection: Inject images into camera-based flows before triggering the camera API. This is used for QR scanning, barcode testing, and image capture scenarios on real devices.

• Video Injection: Simulate video-based flows such as live capture and upload testing. The injected video is processed by the mobile application as if it were captured from the device camera.

• JavaScript Snippets: For JavaScript execution in KaneAI, you can write JavaScript snippets directly inside your test steps on Android and iOS. This allows you to manipulate data, apply conditional logic, define custom validations, and create dynamic waits without switching tools.

• Device Orientation Control: Select Auto, Portrait, or Landscape mode before the session starts. This lets you test orientation-specific UI behavior and detect layout issues that only appear when rotation changes.

• Bulk Conversion From Manual to Automated Tests: Convert multiple manual test cases into automated KaneAI tests in minutes. You can select the platform (Desktop Browser, Mobile App, or Mobile Browser), and KaneAI generates executable scripts, removing the need for a manual framework environment.

• Language, Locale, and Timezone Selection: For mobile browser or mobile app authoring, you can define language, regional format, and timezone before starting sessions. This helps you validate localized content and time-based workflows accurately.

• Deeplinks Support: With deeplinks in KaneAI for mobile app testing, you can jump straight to specific screens and perform relevant actions, skipping the need to manually move through the app’s interface.

Service Accounts for CI/CD

Service accounts let you run KaneAI tests securely through the API, making it easy to integrate with CI/CD pipelines without depending on individual user credentials that may change as team members come and go.

• Enhanced Security: Service credentials are isolated from user accounts, enforcing granular permissions and preventing unauthorized access.
• Reliable CI/CD: Pipelines remain stable despite team changes, ensuring uninterrupted automated test execution across environments.
• Clear Audit Trails: Logs distinguish automated executions from human actions, supporting precise compliance and accountability.
• Simplified Management: Centralized control removes shared credentials, streamlines rotation, reducing administrative complexity and operational overhead.
