Release 23.1

See what's new in Perfecto 23.1.

Secured strings in automation tests

Added support for secured strings in automation tests. With this enhancement, it is now possible to add the prefix :perfecto:secure to the parameter value (for example a password) of any command in automation tests, as shown in the following code samples. The prefix is case sensitive. It works:

  • With all versions of Selenium and Appium

  • On web, mobile, and virtual device platforms

Using the prefix ensures that sensitive parameter values are hidden in the Smart Reporting UI. In the logical steps pane of the single test report (STR), such values now display as ****, as shown in the images included with the code samples.

Copy

Example 1

driver.get("http://google.com");
WebElement p=driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
p.sendKeys(":perfecto:secure:Selenium Java");

Example 1 of string secured with :perfecto:secure prefix in Perfecto report

Copy
Example 2
Map params=new HashMap();
params.put("password", ":perfecto:secure:60");
params.put("not_a_password", "60");
driver.executeScript("location.reload()", params);

Example 1 of string secured with :perfecto:secure prefix in Perfecto report

This information is also available in a dedicated article, Designate secured strings in automation tests.

Reporting enhancements

In the single test report (STR), you can now move the pointer over a test step or command in the left pane to view a tooltip with the date and time of day. This information complements the time displayed next to each step and command, which is the time that has elapsed since the test started.

Virtual device enhancements

Simulators now support iOS 16.2 GA in the Canada region. For an updated list of devices, see Supported platforms.

Scriptless Web updates

Support for new browser versions

Scriptless Web now supports the following new browser versions on Windows machines:

  • Google Chrome 109 Stable

  • Microsoft Edge 109 Stable

Resolved issues

  • For Scriptless Web, tests running with the operating system iOS 16 or later on virtual mobile devices now get executed successfully. Previously, when executing a Scriptless Web test on a virtual mobile device running iOS 16, the test was blocked.

  • Fixed an issue that caused a web page to become unresponsive when tests were copied from one project to another. With this fix, copying tests between projects now works as expected.

Group licenses

Added support for group licenses in enterprise clouds. Until now, licenses were assigned at the tenant level. The option to assign licenses to a group makes it possible to manage license allocations at the level of the org group instead of the tenant. With this enhancement, license requests will first be checked against org group entitlement and then against tenant-level entitlement.

If you are interested in this feature, contact Perfecto Support.
