Below is a list of new features we've added this past month to the TestingBot.com service:
- We take a video for every test you run on TestingBot. This used to be a **flash/.flv video** , now we're offering these videos as **mp4** video files, which means no more dependency on Flash!
- Logging of your tests has improved. You can now see detailed logs of your test, together with **Sikuli/Appium logs** straight from inside the test detail page in our member area.
- We've made our Selenium Grid more robust and improved error handling.
- Improved browser startup speed, **Firefox/Chrome custom profiles** and Safari Tech Preview support.

We've got some more features in the pipeline and continue to work on improving our Selenium grid!
