See what's new in Perfecto 24.15 (released on December 8, 2024):
Perfecto Smart Reporting enhancements
In this release, Perfecto Smart Reporting includes the following enhancements.
UX duration in PDF reports
If the Time Checkpoint command is included in a Scriptless Mobile test and if the timer type for this command is set to UX, the first page of the full PDF report and the assertion PDF report now includes the UX time summary. With this enhancement, you can quickly glance the UX time values. Previously, you had to drill down to each test step to see the UX time value.
To learn more, see Formatted PDF reports.
Scriptless Mobile enhancements
In this release, Scriptless Mobile includes the following enhancements.
Secured strings in DataTables
When working on DataTables that contain potentially sensitive data, you can now create a data column of type Secured String. You can manually encrypt new cells by clicking the lock button 
on the right. If any cells in the column remain unencrypted when you upload the DataTable, Scriptless Mobile automatically encrypts them during the upload process.
To learn more about DataTables, see Create DataTables.
Changes to performance vitals
To remove unnecessary load from the system, performance vitals are now turned off by default in enterprise clouds that have not been actively using this feature in the past and in new enterprise clouds. With this change, the vitals pane in the Manual Testing view, Scriptless Mobile, and the single test report (STR) is now collapsed and, when expanded, vitals information is not available. In addition, vitals-related API calls will not trigger a response.
To turn performance vitals on in your enterprise cloud, contact Perfecto Support.
To learn more about performance vitals in Perfecto, see View device or application vitals.
