Release 9.7

Prepare for the new reports

Perfecto is preparing the migration of all execution reports to the new Reporting format. To help you prepare your automation scripts, new Selenium/Appium templates are available, both in the different plugins as well as in the Perfecto Github Repo. Update your plugin to access the new templates.

Reporting - improvements

Perfecto Reporting continues to sharpen its focus and usability features:

  • User interface of the Report Library Dashboard now supports selecting report tags to be "excluded" from the list of reports. This allows the reviewers to focus on the test reports that really interest them.
  • To help testers easily analyze their visual analysis results, reports now include the Expected Image alongside the actual screenshot for steps that activate Visual Analysis.

 

Support for iOS 10.2.1 GA

Perfecto CQ Lab offered full testing support for all features of iOS 10.2.1 on the day of the general release. See the list of platforms supported.
