The Revamped UnderPass Tunnel Application
In 2020, we rolled out an UnderPass desktop application that lets you test your locally or privately hosted websites and web applications on a secure and reliable cloud platform. It automatically launches a LambdaTest Tunnel for you and eliminates the hassle of triggering it from the command line.
This time, to further optimize your web experience of testing local pages, we have revamped the UnderPass desktop application. With this, you can test local websites by leveraging out-of-the-box features like multiple login options, log sharing, and more.
Let’s dig down on the features the new UnderPass has to offer:
Enhanced User Interface: We’ve given our UI a makeover for a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
Various Login Options: You can now sign in using your email and password or opt for the convenience of Google, GitHub, or SSO authentication.
Effortless Tunnel Management: You can efficiently manage multiple tunnels simultaneously.
Tailored Configuration: Whether you prefer basic or complex setups, we offer advanced tunneling options to cater to your needs.
Simplified Log Sharing: Debugging websites is even easier with our hassle-free copy log feature.
Here is the documentation to get started with local testing using UnderPass.

Custom Viewport Configuration for Storybook Visual Testing
You can now easily see how your UI components look on different device screens such as mobile or tablet. And you can do this by setting up your custom viewport configurations. This new feature by LambdaTest Smart UI builds on Storybook’s viewport toolbar that allows you to view your stories across various devices and in different orientations, whether it’s portrait or landscape.

Setting up custom viewports for visual regression testing using Storybook can be done by updating the .smartui.json file within your project repository.

Auto Muting Feature in HyperExecute
HyperExecute is now live with another feature called Auto Muting. It allows you to temporarily disable the execution of specific test cases. This feature becomes particularly useful when you deal with tests that consistently fail or are irrelevant to the current testing focus.
By using Auto Muting, you can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your testing process. The primary advantage of Auto Muting is that it enables you to skip consistently failing test cases. This means you can save valuable time and resources by not running tests that are known to fail consistently or have no relevance to the current testing scope.

For example, below is a triggered HyperExecute job having a recurring issue with a specific test case that consistently fails. To fix this issue, you can enable the Auto Muting feature that automatically mutes the test case that fails a predefined consecutive number of times.
Refer to our guide to get started with Auto Muting in HyperExecute.
Support for Sub-Organizations in Test Analytics
In our latest update for test analytics, users of parent organization accounts can now effortlessly monitor the real-time browser session usage of all their sub-organizations through a single view. With this support, they can observe the resource utilization of individual sub-organizations, which enables them to take a strategic and informed approach to resource planning.
Here are a few benefits:
Administrators gain the ability to track browser concurrency via a centralized dashboard, offering a comprehensive overview of resource usage across all sub-organizations.
Real-time insights enable immediate resource allocation modifications that ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency.
Detailed usage statistics provide parent organizations with the essential data for making informed decisions regarding future resource provisioning and capacity planning.
