Here is a brief overview of each of these features in turn:
You can now view the recent history of your tests. This will help monitor the changes to your web application and understand exactly how they affect it.
You can now filter through your screenshots while running Smart UI tests on the HyperExecute platform. This filter enables you to toggle through the screenshots based on their status, such as Approved **or **Changes found.
The latest browser versions of Firefox are available for testing — Firefox 109 and Firefox 108.

New features in Smart UI Testing for Storybook
We have released the latest features and upgrades for Smart UI testing using Storybook. Here are the ones:
- Added support for an intelligent Git-based baseline branching system to easily select baseline build for Storybook. This feature selects an appropriate baseline build based on the code changes committed to Git. You can easily track these changes with commit numbers and commit messages.
For more details, please check our documentation on Git Branching Strategy in Smart UI.
- Our latest NPM package (version 1.1.4) enhances Storybook static build support by allowing you to compress your Storybook static folder and run stories across different browsers and resolutions specified in .smartui.json configuration file. This upgrade also supports advanced web elements like iframes, external resources, and canvas elements.
Track your Mobile App Performance with App Profiling
When building a mobile application, it’s crucial to track its performance. With the App Profiling feature for Appium automated tests, you can identify performance bottlenecks and deliver a flawless mobile app experience with comprehensive App Profiling metrics like CPU Consumption, Memory Consumption, Battery, Temperature, Network Usage, Rendering, and more.
For more details, please refer to our documentation on Application Performance Analytics.
Note: Currently, the App Profiling feature for Appium is in the Beta phase.
Test your iOS Apps using Safari Web Inspector
LambdaTest’s real device cloud for mobile browser testing lets you perform debugging of iOS apps using Safari Web Inspector on real iOS smartphones.
In addition, we also released the following feature for mobile app testing on real devices.
- The App Listing section in Real Device App Testing previously displayed the last time the user synced App Centre with LambdaTest, instead of when you uploaded the app to App Centre. However, we have now updated the App Listing section to display the exact time you uploaded the app.
