Oct’22 Updates: New Analytics And App Automation Dashboard, Test On Google Pixel 7 Series, And More

Hey everyone! We hope you had a great Hacktober. At LambdaTest, we thrive to bring you the best with each update. Our engineering and tech teams work at lightning speed to deliver you a seamless testing experience.

To end October on a high note, we’re here with a compilation of new features and updates that rolled out this month. Last month, we made a major design overhaul to our analytics and app automation dashboard, added exclusive support for macOS Ventura and testing on Google Pixel 7 series, and much more.

Let’s recap what’s new at LambdaTest in October!

New Analytics Dashboard for Test automation

The New Analytics Dashboard gives you the ability to create dashboards and custom widgets for test analytics. You can build your own custom views with various widgets and get the intended insights for the stakeholders in no time by creating dashboards.

It provides a single location to monitor your builds and test runs and lets you track the following parameters.

• Test overview – Provides a snapshot of the test case health for the flaky tests identified on the platform. You can also get other details like test summary and overall distribution based on browsers and operating systems. In addition, it helps you with test trends and test status ratios.
• Resource utilization – Calculates the total resource usage for all your parallel test distributions on the LambdaTest platform.
• Error insights – Track your test trends of all error status tests.

You can view test analytics for the following LambdaTest offerings.

1. Web automation testing
2. App automation testing
3. HyperExecute

Bonus additions in LambdaTest Automation

Here are a few additions made to LambdaTest’s web automation testing.

1. Automate your website testing on the latest browser versions.
• Chrome 107 Beta (for Windows), 106, 105
• Edge 107 Beta (for Windows), 106, 105
2. We added one new flag, exclude_specs, to the list of our Cypress flag. You can add the exclude_specs key in the run_settings option to specify the spec files you want to exclude from the test execution.
