The November releases cover the latest web browsers (Comet and Atlas), changes to MCP authentication and regional handling, new HyperExecute features for faster test analysis, and more!

Test with the latest browsers: Comet and Atlas

We’ve added Comet and Atlas browsers for private manual and automation testing:

• Automated tests: You can now run automated test scripts specifically in the Comet browser, enabling validation of functionality and regression scenarios within your existing pipelines.
• Private manual test: You can perform interactive manual desktop browser testing on both Comet and Atlas browsers in the private cloud, enabling real-time debugging, user interface verification, and direct exploration of workflows.

note: Support for these browsers is available upon request. Atlas currently only supports manual testing, while Comet supports both manual and automated testing.

LambdaTest MCP: OAuth 2.1 authentication and regional support

We’ve introduced new improvements and support to the LambdaTest MCP server that improve security and configuration flexibility. It helps you manage connections and analyze test results between regions without changing your code.

• OAuth 2.1 authentication: MCP now only supports OAuth 2.1 Bearer token authentication. The username and password methods have been deprecated. Clients that support OAuth2 handle authentication automatically, simplifying configuration and ensuring secure connections.
• Regional Configuration: You can configure region-specific access to MCP servers, allowing you to run tests closer to your target users and reduce latency while maintaining consistent test behavior.
• Migration and configuration guide: Update your MCP client to use OAuth2 and remove legacy credentials. No manual token handling is required and all LambdaTest MCP tools are still supported with this configuration.

Deep linking and drag and drop support in LambdaTest KaneAI

In LambdaTest KaneAI, you can now test more complex interface behavior using deep linking and drag-and-drop support.

• Deep linking for building mobile apps: KaneAI deep links allow you to open defined screens or actions in your mobile app using a URL.

Using them in KaneAI allows you to jump to a specific view without going through the usual steps. It is useful for triggering flows, checking edge cases, or starting tests from a consistent state.

• Drag and drop for web apps: KaneAI now supports drag-and-drop and click-drag actions for desktop web apps.

Using KaneAI’s drag-and-drop feature, you can test moving elements between containers, adjust sliders, resize elements, and work with diagrams. This makes it easier to confirm behavior in interfaces that rely on repositioning or constant movement.

New HyperExecute features for faster analysis and reliable execution

LambdaTest HyperExecute now collects information from different environments in a single view and allows you to build reports directly within the platform.

• Viewing job information: You can analyze consolidated test results from parallel or distributed test runs, track differences between runs, and identify trends to detect potential defects.



• Katalon reporting support: You can export Katalon-compatible HTML reports, ensuring that test results are consistent with the formats used in Katalon Studio 10 and later.



• Rerun failed tests in HyperExecute: You can rerun failed tests in HyperExecute or rerun the entire test suite directly from the HyperExecute panel. The same YAML configuration applies to each rerun, and you can choose the commit and concurrency level without adjusting other parameters.
• Snooper compatibility: HyperExecute Snooper depends on Glibc (GNU C Library), so you won’t be able to test with alpine images that use Musl. Using a non-alpine base avoids compatibility issues and keeps the environment stable during troubleshooting or updates.
• View and verify code-signed CLI HyperExecute binaries: You can now verify the authenticity of HyperExecute CLI binaries by checking their digital signatures. Each release includes a signature that you can verify on Linux, macOS, or Windows before using the HyperExecute CLI binaries.

The latest SmartUI features to improve the reliability of visual tests

These updates help you analyze visual test results more consistently by controlling dynamic content and protecting sensitive information during snapshot capture.

• Custom CSS injection: The SmartUI custom CSS injection feature allows you to apply test-specific styles while taking snapshots without modifying the application’s source code. This feature allows:
• Visual stabilization tests: Normalizes dynamic content to ensure consistent results in different environments.
• Mask sensitive information: Hide private data during testing to keep your testing environment secure.
• Centralized test logic: Manage all visual test rules in one place, ensuring easy maintenance and keeping them separate from your production code.

Email improvements in Build Insights

In LambdaTest Test Insights, we’ve updated Build Insights email notifications to make it easier for you to inspect test metrics right from your inbox.

• Summary of the interactive dashboard: Emails from user-created dashboards now include clickable test counts. Selecting a number takes you directly to the corresponding test results in Build Insights.
• Improved navigation: You can access test-specific information without opening the dashboard manually, helping you analyze test results with fewer steps.
• Workflow efficiency: These updates reduce browsing time for teams that rely on email notifications and make the metrics in each summary immediately actionable.

Closing!

In general, these updates expand browser options, improve result parsing in HyperExecute, add stability and control to SmartUI, and align MCP with current authentication standards. They give you more flexibility to run tests, review results, and manage configurations without changing your existing workflows.
