View HAR file from test report | Perfecto Smart Reporting

For single test reports (STR) that include a HAR file, you can now open the HAR file directly from the report by clicking the View captured HAR file button in the report header. The HAR file opens in a new browser window, as shown in the following image. Previously, HAR files were available for download and could only be viewed with an external application.

Viewing the HAR file can help you troubleshoot issues by providing insight into HTTP network traffic between the client and server. This allows you to identify problems such as failed requests or unexpected responses, which could indicate errors or backend issues impacting your tests.

To learn more and view restrictions, see Single test report (execution report) > STR header area.

Improved test failure classification for more accurate RCA | Assets and setup

Perfecto expertise automatically classifies test failures by similar root causes that you can then resolve using a similar approach. To enhance root cause analysis (RCA), Perfecto has refined the assignment of failure reasons related to the Open device command.

The generic Device in error blocked failure reason has been replaced with more specific classifications. When the Open device command fails, Perfecto now assigns one of the following new blocked failure reasons:

  • Communication issue: Indicates that Perfecto could not relay the command to the remote server

  • Chrome driver issue: Indicates problems with the Chrome driver, such as when no Chrome driver is found to automate Chrome or when an unsupported version of the Chrome driver is used

  • Missing capability: Indicates that a required desired capability is missing, such as automationName or platformName

  • Passcode issue: Indicates passcode-related problems

  • Unsupported framework: Indicates that Perfecto does not support the automation framework used

If none of these reasons apply, Device in error is assigned as a fallback, ensuring accurate categorization in all scenarios.
