Today is the day we go live with new features that will completely change the way teams approach mobile testing with KaneAI. Whether you’re dealing with edge cases, testing all the behaviors associated with different orientations, or scaling your automation coverage, these new features remove the major roadblocks facing today’s QA team.

JavaScript snippets in building mobile tests

Available on Android and iOS

You can write JavaScript directly in your test steps. No context switching, no external utilities, just inline logic exactly where you need it.

Use cases include:

• Transform data on demand (date formatting, JSON parsing, string manipulation)
• Use smart waits based on dynamic conditions
• Create custom validations beyond typical assertions
• Handling of conditional logic involving extreme cases

This provides developer-level flexibility to test authoring without the developer-level effort. Your QA engineers can now write complicated scenarios that would have previously required custom code or a workaround.

Device orientation control

Available on Android and iOS

Set your device to Auto (default), Portrait or Landscape mode once before the session to simulate real-world usage scenarios.

But it’s not just about testing landscape mode, it’s about finding rotation-related bugs early enough for release. Different screen orientations reveal different design issues, different UI issues, and different interaction errors that are context-specific.

Perfect for:

• Media applications with first landscape experiences
• Games and immersive content
• Responsive mobile user interfaces with orientation-dependent behaviors
• E-commerce applications with different landscape designs

note

Scale and innovate QA today with KaneAI – your AI test agent

Test with the exact targeting your users experience, ensuring full coverage from day one.

note

iOS manual interaction does not currently work in landscape mode. Full support coming soon.

Mass Conversion: Manual to Automated Testing

Turn dozens of manual test cases into fully automated KaneAI tests in minutes. Select multiple tests, your platform (desktop browser, mobile app or mobile browser) and KaneAI does the rest.

This would allow organizations to move to automation faster, scale their coverage faster, and give teams the flexibility to choose the right platform based on the needs of their test suites.

What used to take QA engineers weeks, such as converting test step documentation into test scripts, building automation frameworks, and debugging, can now be performed automatically, allowing QA engineers to focus on test strategy.

Service accounts for CI/CD integration

Service accounts allow you to securely run KaneAI tests from the API, so with CI/CD pipelines you’re not dependent on the changing availability of personal credentials or team member rotation.

Why it would be different:

• Better security: Separate service credentials from user accounts with granular permission controls
• Reliable CI/CD: Test pipelines remain stable regardless of equipment changes
• Cleaner audit: Distinguish between human-initiated testing and automated testing
• Simplified management: No more shared credentials or credential rotation headaches

Bonus Features!

But wait, there’s more! We’ve also introduced several improvements to make your testing experience even more complete:

Enhanced mobile app building capabilities

KaneAI now supports additional mobile app capabilities to help you accurately simulate real-world user scenarios:

• Image Injection – Load and test with custom images during your test flows
• Video Injection – Simulates video-based workflows and media uploads
• Biometric Authentication: Try fingerprint and facial recognition seamlessly
• Disable Screenshot Lock: Capture app tests with screenshot restrictions

Language and location selection for mobile

Before you start a mobile app or mobile browser build session, you can now choose your desired language and locale to seamlessly test localized experiences. Perfect for global teams validating content and region-specific user flows.

Time zone selection between platforms

You can now set the time zone before creating sessions in the desktop browser, mobile app, and mobile browser, ensuring accurate validation of time-based workflows. No more workarounds for testing booking systems, scheduling features or time-sensitive notifications.

User interface and experience improvements

We’ve introduced refined layouts to the Playground and Summary page to highlight all the advanced settings configured for each authored test case. Now you can see at a glance exactly how your test environment is configured, making debugging and collaboration faster.

All of it

These updates are not feature additions. These are fundamental changes in what is possible. JavaScript snippets put sophisticated test logic in the hands of QA engineers who understand your product best. Orientation control ensures you catch errors that only appear when users are actually holding their phones. Bulk conversion collapses months of migratory heaviness into hours. Service accounts free your CI/CD pipeline from the fragility of personal credentials.

Modern mobile applications demand tests that are equally sophisticated and adaptive logic for complex flows, real-world device contexts, automation at scale, and seamless integration with deployment pipelines. KaneAI now offers it all without the traditional trade-offs.

Good tests!
