Lab Self-healing

Perfecto keep improving it's mobile lab and we've recently added two intelligent self-healing abilities.

  • Wi-Fi self healing - Mobile operating systems as well as device manufacturers tend to disconnect from the network based on multiple parameters and internal optimizations. In addition, Some devices are known to look connected, but practically do not allow communication. When using devices for 24/7 continuous testing, high availability of the connectivity is essential, The Perfecto Smart lab, uses Intelligent engine to ensure connectivity is always available and self-heal connection issues.
  • Anti-Lock self-healing - devices with advance security requirements such as MDM or such that are used with fingerprint or face identification mandate device timeout locking. lock devices are not accessible. Perfecto anti-lock, self healing, ensure that devices are in a state that keeps them unlocked and ensure on-going operations without service interruptions.
Note: Self-healing is automatically enabled on your private cloud.

Reminder: New Hosting Service for Perfecto Service Libraries

If you are using any of the following Perfecto supported tools - XCUITest testing, Espresso testing, Gradle Plugin, Reporting Public API, or the Quantum Framework, read the important notice about the update of the library repository configurations. Take action prior to 31 Jan, 2019.

Limitations
