Follow your Test Executions in the Execution Center
Perfecto unveils the new Live Stream display of all your Test Executions. The Perfecto Execution Center provides information and allows a user to interact with the test executions running on Perfecto Lab devices. The Execution Center offers two ways to interact:
- Use the graphic User Interface - displays information on all of the user's executions (for administrator - all executions) and supports stopping a set of executions.
- Use the Execution Manager HTTP API to retrieve test execution information of currently running executions in JSON format or to stop a specific test execution.
Browse Synchronously in Automation Scripts
When using automation (either Perfecto Native Automation or Selenium/Appium) to browse to a URL in the device's browser, you have a choice of using the Browser go to Perfecto command from Native Automation or the get() method of the RemoteWebDriver instance in Selenium/Appium. Both of these methods now support an option to execute these commands synchronously - waiting for the browser to display the page prior to going to next automation operation - with a command parameter or Selenium capability. Supported on Android devices only.
