Run Visual Tests With Figma SmartUI Web CLI

We have released the SmartUI Figma-Web CLI, enhancing our existing Figma CLI by enabling direct comparisons between Figma designs and live web pages, URLs, and web app screens.

Our latest SmartUI Figma Web CLI bridges the gap between static designs and dynamic web implementations, ensuring visual consistency throughout the development process. It integrates design and development workflows that help teams seamlessly test Figma-designed web pages to align with the original design vision.

New Features in Insights

Here are some latest additions to LambdaTest Insights that make tracking and analyzing your test performance easier than ever. Let’s check them out:

• Build Comparison: In continuous integration and delivery, it’s not just about knowing which tests passed or failed, but it’s about analyzing trends and keeping track of the test suite’s overall health. So, to streamline this process, SmartUI has released a Build Comparison feature that helps with this by giving you a clear history of test executions, making it easy to detect regressions.



In traditional methods, you may need to manually check multiple reports or switch between tabs, which can be time-consuming. However, the Build Comparison in SmartUI solves this by combining all the data into one view.

• Test Case Insights for Web Automation: Test Cases Insights now supports web automation, which helps you create and manage web automated tests directly on our Insights platform.

With Test Case Insights, you can reuse test components, manage shared data, and view unified metrics for web automation testing—all in one place. It eliminates the need for extra tools and provides clear insights to refine testing strategies and at the same time, ensure quality.

Perform Android WebView Testing Using Playwright

Testing Android WebView applications ensures that your embedded web content runs as expected within native applications.

LambdaTest Web Automation now supports Android WebView testing with Playwright. This feature lets you efficiently test WebView on real devices.

Using Playwright, you can test WebView on various real Android devices and their respective OS versions. You can then easily interact with WebView, validate functionality, and debug issues.

Latest Browser Versions in HyperExecute

We have added some new features of web browsers on the HyperExecute platform.

Here are some of the latest browser versions:

• Google Chrome 132
• Mozilla Firefox 134, 133
• Microsoft Edge 133.0.3065.19, 132

Conclusion

New features and updates in January brought a lot of valuable additions to improve your testing. These include support for Samsung Galaxy S25, Android 16 Public Beta, and Playwright for Android WebView testing.

Furthermore, the latest features in KaneAI take your AI testing a level up. With these updates, LambdaTest is helping you stay on top of the latest tech trends and simplify your testing process.
