Release 24.1

See what's new in Perfecto 24.1 (released on January 28, 2024):

Scriptless Mobile enhancements

Ability to sort and delete tests in Scriptless Mobile

In Scriptless Mobile, when you open or save a test using the File menu, you can now do the following in the respective dialog box:

Sort tests by column header.
Delete a test that you created by hovering over the test and clicking the Delete test button that appears on the right. You cannot delete tests that you do not own.

For more information, see Handle tests.

Scriptless Web enhancements

Environment information in test reports

Updated the Report Library to include additional details related to test runs initiated in Scriptless Web. You will now find the following new columns:

Environment name: The name of the test environment selected for a particular test run in Scriptless Web
Environment URL: The URL associated with the selected environment

With this enhancements, you can now correlate Scriptless Web reports with specific environments, aiding in more effective problem analysis and troubleshooting.

For more information, see Report Library.

Consistent Support access in UI

The Contact Support option is now consistently accessible through the help icon on the right side of the header in the Perfecto UI. To open a support case, click the help icon and select Contact support.

This update ensures a unified and easily accessible support experience, as opposed to the previous method where the option was limited to the device toolbar for an open device during manual testing and to the single test report.

Platform support | Real devices

iOS 17 enhancements

Devices running iOS 17 now also support accessibility testing with VoiceOver and setting a location without instrumentation.

New iOS versions

Support for the following iOS versions in now available:

iOS 17.3 GA. All limitations for iOS 16.x versions still apply.

Connecting iOS devices requires HSS version 23.12 and an IDS with macOS Ventura and Xcode 15.

Important: To avoid test disruption in hybrid clouds after upgrading devices to iOS 17, on the device, under Settings > General > Airdrop, make sure that the Bringing Devices Together toggle is turned off.

If you are interested in having iOS 17 devices connected in your cloud, contact Perfecto Support.
iOS 16.7.5 GA. This version is reserved for older devices that do not support iOS 17.

Limitation for iOS versions 16.4 and later: Due to an Apple bug, Perfecto Object Spy does not support SafariViewController-based applications on a device.

All limitations documented for iOS 15 still apply.
15.8.1 GA for devices in the iPhone 7 series.

For complete support information, see iOS support updates.

Platform support | Virtual devices

Appium 2.4 support

Added support for Appium 2.4 on virtual devices. You can now test your apps on virtual devices using Appium 2.4 with an Appium 2-compatible client. If you do, you must make sure to:

Limit the value of the appiumVersion capability to the major and minor version, without a patch number (for example 2.2, but not 2.2.1).

For a list of all supported Appium versions for virtual devices, see Supported platforms.
Add the prefix perfecto: to Perfecto capabilities. For example: “perfecto:useVirtualDevice”, true

Alternatively, you can use the perfectoOptions notation.

For upgrade information, see Upgrade to an Appium 2-compliant client and Appium 2-compliant client and Selenium 4 sample project.

For comprehensive information on working with virtual devices, see the Virtual mobile devices section in our documentation.
