What's New in Perfecto 26.11?

Perfecto 26.11 adds more control over AI Scriptless test runs, improves Android offline instrumentation and Reporting exports, and updates Appium, Android device privileges, and platform support.

Key highlights:

• Selected-step test runs in AI Scriptless
  Set a start and end step to debug part of a test, including steps in loops and groups, without running the full test.
• Pause and resume controls in AI Scriptless
  Pause after the current step, then resume or stop the run without starting over.
• AI Scriptless editor space
  Collapse the left sidebar during a run to give the Devices pane and test editor more space.
• Embedded test access in AI Scriptless
  Use the embedded-test step menu to open its test directly in an editor tab.
• Android offline instrumentation
  Use the updated tool for improved performance and additional command-line options when instrumenting apps offline.
• Appium 3.6.0 support
  Select version 3.6.0 as it rolls out, and set the appiumVersion capability before it becomes the default on November 15, 2026.
• Reporting export retry details
  The export API now reports retryCount for each command, so you can compare merged retries with the Single Test Report.
• Android device owner privileges
  Owner privileges are no longer enabled by default in most clouds. Clouds with specific configurations continue to use them.
• Device and browser support
  Test on iOS 27.2 GA and 27.3 Beta real devices, iPhone 18 Pro devices, and virtual iOS 27.1 GA, 27.2 GA, and 27.3 Beta. Browser updates include Chrome 156 and 157 Stable, Chrome 158 Beta, Edge 156 Stable, and Firefox 158 and 159 Stable and 160 Beta. Virtual iOS availability and capacity vary.
