Product Updates

We have updated Appium to its latest version, v1.22.2, for our physical mobile devices.

This newest version contains the latest fixes and improvements for Appium based mobile app testing.

You can now share screenshots taken during live manual testing with your colleagues on Slack.

Annotate images, mark bugs and send screenshots via our Slack integration.

Next to this integration, we also provide Slack functionality to post test results to your Slack channel. Find out more about this integration on our Slack Integration documentation page.

We've updated the image annotator included with the Live Testing feature.

This feature allows you to annotate screenshots taken during your manual tests. You can draw, type and edit the screenshot with this new image editor.

Quickly annotate a screenshot to indicate where a (design) bug is located, and share the screenshot with your colleagues via e-mail, JIRA or Slack.
