Latest updates
This section lists updates delivered since the last major release, with the most recent updates showing at the top.
Full-screen mode for desktop web | Manual testing
With the introduction of full-screen mode, you can now expand your desktop web sessions to take up the entire screen. Working in a more spacious environment allows you to better visualize and interact with the application under test. Full-screen mode facilitates taking screenshots. To access other widgets, you need to switch back to regular mode.
To learn how to access full-screen mode during desktop web testing, watch this video. To learn more, see Test web apps on desktop browsers.
iOS 18.1 Beta 6 | Real devices
You can now test your applications on real mobile devices running iOS 18.1 Beta 6. iOS 18.1 versions are only available for Apple Intelligence-compatible devices: iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPads with M1+ SoCs (system-on-a-chip).

iOS 18.1 Beta 6 | Virtual devices
You can now test your applications on simulators running iOS 18.1 Beta 6. This version is only available at limited capacity.
For an updated list of devices and versions, see Supported simulator devices and OS versions.
Error visibility | Assets and Setup
When a mobile device enters an error state, lab admin users now have better visibility into the underlying error. In the Cradle view, hovering over the Cradle status for the device in error displays a tooltip with the related error message. This makes it easier to understand the issue at a glance, likely reducing troubleshooting time and improving operational efficiency.

Execution insights | Smart Reporting
For failed executions, Perfecto's single test report (STR) now includes a new Execution insights pane that offers:
-
Information on why a specific failure reason was assigned as a result of visual analysis
-
Access to side-by-side screenshots of the failed execution step and the same step in the last successful execution. Comparing these screenshots can help you get a better idea of why the failure occurred. This insight also provides a link to the report of the last successful test run.
To learn more, see Identify the cause of failure.
