Scriptless Web enhancements

New columns in the Report Library

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

• Flow: The version of a test run in Scriptless Web. In a flow, you can enable or disable steps or change the sequence of steps. Related to this change, the Report Name column now displays the test name. Previously, it displayed the flow name for tests initiated in Scriptless Web.

• Dataset: The dataset selected to run a test. Datasets let you run the same test flow using different data.

• Test Index in Job: The test number or sequence of a test in a job. A job can have multiple tests. This column displays the test number or its sequence in the specific job.

This enhancement allows you to identify the dataset and flow used when running a specific test, along with the test sequence or index.

For more information, see Report Library.

Step details in single test reports

The single test report (STR) now presents both the element name and its corresponding action on a single line for each test step. For example, in the following image, "Navigate to location" and "Keyboard input" represent the actions and "Browser" and "Search (Google)" represent the element names.

This enhancement makes it easier to identify elements and their associated actions.

For more information, see Single test report (execution report).

Smart Reporting enhancements

Enhanced test step titles

For desktop web and virtual devices, the single test report (STR) now displays the Perfecto command name as the title for steps that involved a Perfecto extension. For example, if executeScript was used to run the perfecto:file:list command, the report now shows File list as the step title instead of executeScript. This change makes it easier to identify specific steps and aligns tests run on desktop web and virtual devices with the convention used for mobile devices.

For more information on running tests using Perfecto's extended RemoteWebDriver commands, see Perfecto extensions.

Phone number support for SMS notifications

When creating or editing users in Perfecto, admin users can now add a phone number to the user profile. With a phone number specified, it is then possible to turn on SMS notifications for a job in Scriptless Mobile.

For more information, see Manage users and Schedule jobs .

New Samsung device

Added same-day support for a brand new Android device, the Samsung S24.

Troubleshooting information on the Perfecto Support Portal

All troubleshooting information, previously found in the Knowledgebase section of the Perfecto Help, is now accessible in our Customer Support Portal's Knowledgebase. Going forward, make this your primary resource for problem-solving, error messages, or assistance needed when working with the Support team.

To enhance your experience and minimize confusion, the Knowledgebase section in the Perfecto Help has been renamed to Perfecto answers. This section continues to provide information on edge cases and scenarios you are less likely to encounter in your day-to-day activities.
