October 25 Update: Improved App Creation in KaneAI, Run SmartUI Tests With GitHub Actions, and More!

Last month, we launched several new features and enhancements, including mobile app building improvements in KaneAI, support for GitHub Actions in SmartUI, and enhanced capabilities in HyperExecute.

This update lets you test mobile apps with KaneAI across a variety of use cases, simplify your CI/CD workflow using GitHub Actions that trigger automated visual tests, and run and analyze tests more efficiently in HyperExecute.

Latest KaneAI Features for Improved Writing

This new feature in LambdaTest KaneAI allows you to control mobile test behavior, simulate real device conditions, and validate advanced flows before execution begins in your KaneAI build session.

New Mobile App Creation Capabilities

Here are some of the newest mobile app creation capabilities we launched at LambdaTest KaneAI:

• Disable Screenshot Block: Bypasses screenshot limitations imposed by mobile apps. This allows you to capture screens and create test cases without interruption. You enable this capability from advanced settings before starting test creation.
• Biometric Authentication Testing: Simulate fingerprint and facial recognition flows to verify your mobile app’s behavior during biometric authentication. This helps you evaluate identity checks across supported devices and platforms.
• Image Injection: Insert images into a camera-based pipeline before triggering the camera API. It 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 tests. The injected video is processed by the mobile app as if it were captured from the device’s camera.



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



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



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



• Language, Locale and Time Zone Selection: For mobile browser or mobile app creation, you can specify the language, regional format, and time zone before starting the session. This helps you accurately validate localized content and time-based workflows.



• Deep Linking Support: With deep linking in KaneAI for mobile app testing, you can go directly to a specific screen and perform the relevant action, eliminating the need to navigate through the app interface manually.

Service Accounts for CI/CD

Service accounts allow you to run KaneAI tests securely through APIs, making it easy to integrate with CI/CD pipelines without relying on individual user credentials that can 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: The pipeline remains stable despite team changes, ensuring seamless execution of automated tests across environments.
• Remove Audit Trail: Logs differentiate automated execution from human actions, supporting proper compliance and accountability.
• Simplified Management: Centralized control eliminates shared credentials, simplifies rotation, reduces administrative complexity and operational overhead.

Integrate GitHub Action Channels with SmartUI

You can now integrate GitHub Actions with SmartUI to perform automated visual testing and reduce your testing cycle significantly.

This integration involves adding SmartUI credentials as a GitHub secret, creating a new workflow, and configuring a YAML pipeline that installs the required dependencies and runs SmartUI tests. Once set up, workflows can be triggered with your project token, allowing tests to run smoothly and providing immediate results in GitHub Actions.

HyperExecute – Execution Intelligence and Reporting

New features in LambdaTest HyperExecute simplify the analysis and reporting of test results, giving you clear insights across environments and simplifying report creation.

• Job Insights View: You can access a consolidated view of test results even when tests are run in different environments or parallel jobs. HyperExecute aggregates data and presents a unified summary for comparison and historical analysis.



• Catalon Report Creation Support: You can create Katalon HTML reports directly within HyperExecute. It supports the latest report formats and structures introduced in Katalon Studio 10 and later, ensuring compatibility with modern reporting standards.

In conclusion!

In October, we released an update to make mobile app testing and automation easier. KaneAI now handles biometric flow, media injection, orientation control, and mass test conversion.

Service accounts make CI/CD pipelines more secure and reliable, and GitHub Actions integration with SmartUI simplifies visual testing. HyperExecute provides clear test insights and simple report generation. Overall, these updates help teams test and deliver applications more quickly and reliably.
