AI Visual Comparison command | AI Scriptless
The AI Visual Comparison command helps you validate mobile UI changes the way a human would, without manual review. The command compares a test result screenshot with a baseline image and automatically detects and describes meaningful visual differences between device screens. Your tests fail only when critical issues are found, such as missing UI elements or changed values, helping you catch real regressions while avoiding unnecessary failures.
This AI-powered command is supported for mobile testing only and is not available for tablet or web tests.
To learn more, see Best practices for working with AI visual comparisons and Compare screens with AI vision. For information on using this command in automated tests, see AI visual comparison (FR).

Universal audio input and output on Android | Real devices
You can now test Android audio input and output across all major audio paths on real devices without requiring Bluetooth. This update brings Android audio testing to parity with the iOS audio experience and simplifies end‑to‑end automation.
The enhanced Android audio solution supports common real‑world audio scenarios using a single, consistent approach.
Perfecto supports the following types of audio output:
-
Voice and VoIP calls (for example, phone calls and Zoom)
Requires the Android voice feature to be enabled.
-
Media playback and app sounds (music and video)
-
App sounds and notifications
-
Voice assistant responses
-
Accessibility audio (for accessibility testing sessions)
For all items except voice and VoIP calls, the Android voice feature must be disabled.
Perfecto supports the following types of audio input:
-
Voice and VoIP calls (for example, phone calls and Zoom)
By removing the need for Bluetooth and supporting all major Android audio paths, this capability simplifies Android audio testing and improves automation reliability.
To enable voice call audio testing for Android in your cloud, contact Perfecto Support.
To learn more, see the Audio testing documentation.
iOS 26.5 RC | Virtual devices
You can now test your applications on virtual devices (simulators) running iOS 26.5 RC. This version is supported in all regions with limited capacity.
The following limitation applies to virtual devices running iOS 26.4 or later:
-
Applications compiled exclusively for Intel (x86_64) cannot run. An ARM64 build is required.
For complete support information, see Supported platforms.
Appium 3.3 support | Virtual devices
You can now run automated mobile tests on virtual devices using Appium 3.3.
For a list of supported Appium versions for virtual devices, see Supported platforms > Virtual devices.
To learn more about working with virtual devices, see the Virtual mobile devices section in our documentation.
Secure passwords for web certificates | Assets and setup
When you upload or edit a web certificate, you can now enter the certificate password in a dedicated Password field in the upload and edit dialogs. This eliminates the need to store passwords in non‑secure fields. If the certificate does not require a password, leave the field empty.
To learn more about web certificates in Perfecto, see Web certificate management.
Email‑based usernames for new users | Assets and setup
When creating new users,the username must be a valid email address. In the user management UI, the separate Email field has been removed, and the username field is labeled Email (used as username).
When creating users through the API, the username parameter must be provided in email format, and the email parameter is still used.
When updating users through the API, the email parameter can no longer be edited. The parameter still exists but is read-only.
For IdP users, using an email address as the username is recommended but not enforced. External IdP tenants can continue to use non‑email usernames, provided the IdP is configured accordingly.
To learn more, see User management (UI) and User management operations (API).
