JavaScript Snippets, Orientation Control, and More!

Today is the day we launch new features that will completely change the way teams approach mobile testing with KaneAI. Whether you’re working on edge cases, testing all the behavior associated with different orientations, or increasing the scope of your automation, these new features remove a major bottleneck facing modern QA teams.

JavaScript Snippets in Mobile Test Writing

Available on Android & iOS

You can write JavaScript directly in your testing steps. No context switching, no external utilities, just inline logic right where you need it.

Use cases include:

• On-demand data transformation (date formatting, JSON parsing, string manipulation)
• Use intelligent timeouts based on dynamic conditions
• Create custom validations outside of regular statements
• Handles conditional logic involving edge cases

This provides developer-level flexibility to test builds without developer-level effort. Your QA engineers can now write complex scenarios that previously required custom code or workarounds.

Device Orientation Control

Available on Android & iOS

Set your device to Auto (default), Portrait, or Landscape mode once before a session to simulate real-world usage scenarios.

But it’s not just about testing landscape mode, it’s about catching rotation-related bugs early on for release. Different screen orientations show different layout issues, different UI issues, and different interaction bugs according to the context.

Perfect for:

• A media app with a landscape-first experience
• Immersive games and content
• Responsive mobile UI with orientation-dependent behavior
• Ecommerce apps with different landscape layouts

Test the right onboarding of your user experience, ensuring comprehensive coverage from day one.

Notes

iOS manual interactions do not currently work in Landscape mode. Full support coming soon.

Mass Conversion: Manual to Automated Testing

Turn dozens of manual test cases into fully automated KaneAI tests in minutes. Choose some tests, your platform (Desktop Browser, Mobile App, or Mobile Browser), and KaneAI will do the rest.

This will enable organizations to move to automation more quickly, expand their scope more quickly, and give teams the flexibility to choose the right platform based on their test suite needs.

What used to take QA engineers weeks, such as turning test step documentation into test scripts, building automation frameworks, and debugging, can all now be done automatically, so QA engineers can focus on testing strategy.

Service Accounts for CI/CD Integration

Service accounts allow you to run KaneAI tests securely from the API, such that with CI/CD pipelines you are not dependent on changing the availability of personal credentials or changing team members.

Why this will make a difference:

• Better security: Separate service credentials from user accounts with granular permission controls
• Reliable CI/CD: The testing pipeline remains stable regardless of team changes
• Cleaner audit: Distinguish between human-initiated and automated testing
• Simplified management: No more shared credentials or credential rotation headaches

Bonus Features!

But wait, there’s more! We’ve also rolled out several improvements to make your testing experience more comprehensive:

Enhanced Mobile App Creation Capabilities

KaneAI now supports additional mobile app capabilities to help you precisely simulate real-world user scenarios:

• Image Injection: Upload and test with custom images during your test pipeline
• Video Injection: Simulates video-based workflows and media uploads
• Biometric Authentication: Fingerprint and facial recognition tests flow smoothly
• Disable Block Screenshots: Take evidence from apps with screenshot restrictions

Language & Locale Options for Mobile

Before starting a Mobile App or Mobile Browser creation session, you can now select the desired language and locale to test a seamless localized experience. Perfect for global teams validating region-specific content and user flows.

Time Zone Selection Across Platforms

You can now set the time zone before authoring sessions in the Desktop Browser, Mobile App, and Mobile Browser, ensuring accurate validation for time-based workflows. There is no longer a solution for testing booking systems, scheduling features, or time-sensitive notifications.

UI & Experience Improvements

We’ve introduced enhanced layouts on the Playground and Overview Pages to highlight all advanced settings configured for each test case created. Now you can see at a glance how your test environment is configured, making debugging and collaboration faster.

All in All

This update is not a feature addition. This is a fundamental change in the way things are possible. JavaScript snippets put sophisticated testing logic in the hands of the QA engineers who know your product best. Orientation control ensures you catch bugs that only appear when the user is actually holding their phone. Bulk conversion breaks down months of tedious migration work into a few hours. Service accounts free your CI/CD pipeline from the vulnerability of personal credentials.

Modern mobile apps require the same sophisticated testing, adaptive logic for complex flows, real-world device context, automation at scale, and seamless integration with deployment pipelines. KaneAI now delivers it all without the traditional sacrifices.

Happy Testing!
