Execute JavaScript command | Scriptless Mobile
Scriptless Mobile now introduces an Execute JavaScript command that uses Javascript for executing tests.
The command availability may vary depending on your cloud. Some Perfecto clouds may not display the Execute JavaScript command. This variation reflects differences in underlying configurations and does not require user action.

In the CI Dashboard view, you can now select the information in the Last Build Summary column or a bar in the Result History column and right-click to select an option to open the report in a new tab or window.
This feature helps you compare test results from different runs without losing your current CI Dashboard view, allowing you to view multiple runs across separate tabs.

Update on handling embedded test result | Scriptless Mobile
Scriptless Mobile now supports a more streamlined method for passing the result from an embedded test to the main test.
The previous approach relied on two commands: Return embedded result and Get embedded result. The first command passed a value from the embedded test, and the second retrieved that value in the main test. These commands have been deprecated.
The updated method uses the Exit command. By setting the Return value parameter, the embedded test can directly pass a result to the main test.
The available commands may vary depending on your cloud. Some Perfecto clouds display the deprecated commands, while others show only the Exit command. This variation reflects differences in underlying configurations and does not require user action.
Where available, use the Exit command to align with the latest test execution practices.
To learn more, see Create embedded tests.
Change to AI access in Scriptless Mobile and Appium testing
AI commands previously available in Beta mode, whether used in Scriptless Mobile or through Appium, are no longer part of the general offering. Starting today, access to this functionality requires a separate license.
If you're currently using or interested in using AI commands, contact your Perfecto account representative to learn more about licensing options. To learn more about this functionality, see AI-based testing.
