Selenium BiDi | Framework support

Perfecto now supports Selenium BiDirectional (BiDi) functionality, enabling advanced browser interactions such as console log inspection.

To enable BiDi:

• Add the capability: webSocketUrl = true

• Upgrade the driver using: org.openqa.selenium.remote.Augmenter

• Use BiDi modules such as: org.openqa.selenium.bidi.module.LogInspector

To learn more, Use Selenium BiDi with Perfecto and Selenium's Bidirectional functionality documentation.

Enhanced swipe gesture in Perfecto UI

Swipe gestures in the Perfecto UI now provide smoother and more precise control in mobile applications on iOS and Android devices in the Manual testing view and Scriptless Mobile. This update improves scrolling accuracy, making it easier to reach the exact location without overscrolling or underscrolling. In addition, drag-and-drop gestures are now performed by a combination of swipe and the Ctrl key.

The drag-and-drop gesture is currently not supported on virtual devices.

Firefox 145 Stable and 146 Beta | Browser support

You can now test your applications in Mozilla Firefox 145 Stable and 146 Beta on Windows and Mac machines.

Hebrew language option for text analysis

When configuring text analysis parameters, you can now select Hebrew from the list of supported languages.

This enhancement is available for:

• Manual testing: In the Text analysis dialog box, add the Languages parameter and select Hebrew as the value. To learn more, see Perform text or image analysis.

• Scriptless Mobile testing:

  • On an open device: In the Text analysis widget, select the Languages parameter and then select Hebrew as the value. To learn more, see Perform text analysis .

  • When adding the command to a test: Add the Find text command, select the ORC – Languages parameter, and then select Hebrew as the value. To learn more, see Find text command.

• Automation testing: In your script, use the Perfecto extension mobile:image:find and specify the Languages parameter. To learn more, see Find image (FR) and General Visual Analysis parameters.

This update enables teams ensure accurate text validation in Hebrew, improving test coverage for multilingual applications and enhancing user experience for Hebrew-speaking audiences.

iOS 18.7.2 GA | Real devices

You can now test your applications on real devices running iOS 18.7.2 GA.

Image injection without display

When setting up Scriptless or manual mobile testing, you can now choose to inject an image into your application without displaying the image by selecting the Inject without display checkbox. You can use this feature when an injected image would cover or overlap content in the app.

This option is also available for Appium testing by setting the disablePreview parameter to true in the Perfecto extension mobile:image.injection:start.

To learn more about image injection, see the following articles:

• Scriptless Mobile: Inject an image
