Release 25.14

With Perfecto 25.14 (released on January 4, 2026), you gain experimental Playwright support for Android devices, an App switcher for quick access to other Perforce products, and Scriptless Mobile enhancements including virtual device testing and traceable test links. This release also introduces updates to Android instrumentation scripts, an extended Appium 1 deprecation timeline, Quantum 3.1.8 framework improvements, expanded iOS and browser support, and end-of-life for macOS Monterey.

Playwright support for Android devices

You can now run Playwright tests on Android devices in the Perfecto cloud. Android support in Playwright is currently experimental, so you can start exploring mobile testing while reusing your existing Playwright scripts. This capability helps you expand coverage and reduce duplication across platforms.

To learn more, see the Playwright documentation.

App switcher for quick navigation

The Perfecto UI now includes an App switcher that provides easy access to other Perforce products and resources. In this initial phase, you can use the app switcher to open the marketing homepages for BlazeMeter, Delphix, and Perforce in a separate browser tab, making it easier to learn more about these offerings.

To learn more, see Switch to other Perforce products.

Scriptless Mobile enhancements

In this release, Scriptless Mobile includes the following enhancements.

Test on virtual mobile devices

You can now use virtual mobile devices when creating and running Scriptless Mobile tests. Virtual devices offer fast, scalable access to mobile environments, making it easier to test when physical devices are limited or when you need to run tests at scale.

To select a virtual device, open a device for testing as usual. For details, see Open or close a device.

To learn which actions are supported on virtual mobile devices in Scriptless Mobile, see Supported actions on open devices.

Traceable links from report to test

You can now trace executed Scriptless Mobile tests from their reports and open them directly in the Scriptless Mobile editor:

• Full path on hover: Displays the complete test path, including visibility (public, group, or private), when you hover over the test name in the execution report.

• Arrow for quick access: Opens the test in a new Scriptless Mobile tab when you click the arrow next to the test name or embedded test in the report.

• Permalink for direct navigation: Provides a unique URL for each Scriptless Mobile test to open its definition in the editor.

• Test path in report details: Adds a new Test entry on the Execution tab showing the full path to the executed test.

• Test path in PDF report: Includes the full path to the executed test in the downloadable PDF report.

To learn more, see Single test report (execution report) and View report details.

Virtual and web device support in job scheduling

Scriptless Mobile now supports job scheduling on virtual and desktop web devices, in addition to real devices.

For more information, see Job scheduling.

Changes in Android script-based instrumentation

If you are using an older version of the script named customInstrumentWrapperAndroid.py, download the updated version from the Perfecto Community Samples on GitHub. The script is now called remote_android_instrumentation.py.

For customers already using the newer script: If you have set the -d flag with the value standby, either remove this flag entirely or change its value to primary as soon as possible.

The -d flag was previously shared for early access to fixes and features. These are now part of the stable release, so the flag should not be used by default. It will remain available as a beta option for exceptional cases after coordination with Perfecto Support.

To learn more, see Script-based instrumentation for Android apps.
