Perfecto 26.6 (released on June 7, 2026) enhances AI Scriptless, automation, and platform support to improve security, efficiency, and coverage. AI Scriptless introduces secured string variables for sensitive data, documents keyboard shortcuts, enables form completion using AI User Actions for web sessions, and improves interaction precision for UI elements. Automation testing adds configurable Playwright startup arguments and clearer Perfecto Connect API guidance, while manual testing includes a minor UI update to the device‑opening flow. The release also delivers Quantum 3.2.3, expands iOS and Android device support, and refreshes browser coverage.

AI Scriptless enhancements
In this release, AI Scriptless includes the following enhancements.
Secured String variables in AI commands
In AI Scriptless, you can now use the Secured String variable type in AI commands to store sensitive values, such as passwords or API keys. Secured string variables are masked and are not displayed in reporting steps, helping reduce exposure of sensitive data when working with AI‑driven scriptless tests.
To learn more, see Create AI-powered validations and Perform AI-driven user actions.
Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are now documented for the AI Scriptless experience, enabling you to perform common device interactions more efficiently. This helps reduce reliance on mouse actions and improves speed and precision when creating, editing, and executing tests.
The available shortcuts support actions such as closing the device, navigating to the home screen, taking screenshots, rotating the device, entering secure text, and more across both Windows and macOS environments.
To learn more, see Use keyboard shortcuts.
Form completion with AI User Actions
When you use the AI User Actions command to fill in forms, you can now enter values for multiple fields in a single prompt instead of using separate actions for each field.
This feature is available only for web sessions (desktop browser, mobile web, and WebView). It is not supported on native mobile or native desktop applications.
To enable this functionality in your cloud environment, contact Perfecto Support.
To learn more, see Best practices for working with AI user actions.
Improved precision for UI elements
When you use the AI User Actions command, to improve interaction precision with small or unclear elements, you can now instruct the Assistant to focus on a certain area. For example, use this more robust approach to select densely packed checkboxes, small text fields, or complex filter inputs. In these cases, tell the Assistant first to "focus on" the section, to "look closely at ...," to "zoom into...," to "look at the small text in...," or similar.

Automation testing enhancements
This release includes the following Automation testing enhancements.
Playwright: Startup arguments
You can now configure browser startup behavior for Playwright desktop web tests on Perfecto by passing custom startup arguments through the playwrightArgs capability. This allows you to control how the remote browser instance started by Perfecto launches when connecting to a remotely launched browser using Playwright, for example by enabling specific browser modes.
To learn more, see the Optional Playwright configuration section in Set up Playwright with Perfecto.
Perfecto Connect: API usage for web and virtual devices
The documentation now clarifies how to configure Perfecto Connect for API‑based testing with web and virtual devices to connect to internal applications. This update does not introduce new functionality. It documents behavior that was already supported but not previously described.
To learn more, see Associate web and virtual device executions with a Perfecto Connect tunnel (API-based).
Manual testing enhancements
This release includes the following Manual testing enhancements.
UI changes when opening a device
In the Manual Testing view, the Open device button is now located at the bottom right of the screen. To open a device, choose the device when in the grid or list view, and then click Open device.
To learn more, see Select a device for manual testing.
Framework support
This release introduces the following test framework enhancements.
Quantum 3.2.3
Quantum 3.2.3 is now available. This release introduces enhancements to AI Visual Comparison, including new steps, utility methods, and configurable failure criteria. It also improves execution handling and reporting, adds support for variables in FROM and TO filters via testng.xml, and fixes an issue where screenshots were missing from Perfecto reports.
Quantum continues to require Java 11 as the minimum supported version.
Before upgrading, ensure compatibility with changes introduced in version 3.0.0.
