A New Era for Android 11 and iOS 14 Testing
Right off the bat, Android 11 support is here, ready for you to put your apps through the wringer. And while iOS 14 support is still in beta, you can already start poking around and monitoring your app’s performance—think session metrics like RAM usage, CPU performance, and even network activity. It’s like having a fitness tracker for your app, helping you spot when things go off track.
Meet the Session Explorer: The Log Savior
Remember the days of digging through endless log files like you’re searching for treasure in a haystack? Kobiton’s new Session Explorer says goodbye to those dark times. Now, you can zero in on specific issues like a detective with a magnifying glass, without wading through gigabytes of logs.
API Upgrades: More Control in Your Hands
For those who like a little more control, the extended API is here to please. You can now assign or remove groups, reactivate users, or assign roles like a boss. It’s the kind of power-up you’ve been waiting for to fine-tune your team management.
Smarter Test Automation: Because Who Has Time to Write Scripts?
The new automation tools are where things get really interesting. Now, you can parameterize data for scriptless tests—meaning no more tedious scripts for every little thing. Plus, you can now run scriptless automation on your own private devices. And for anyone who’s ever been annoyed by One-Time-Passwords (OTP), Kobiton’s got you covered. You can now automate OTPs for both SMS shortcodes and non-shortcode methods, making the whole process smoother than ever.
Build Your Own Test Bundles
Who says you have to follow the rules? Kobiton lets you define your own test bundles—whether it’s “Smoke Test” or something super specific like “Our Regional Devices.” It’s all about testing your way, without limitations.
Appium Selector Export: Debug Like a Pro
For all the Appium lovers out there, you’re going to love this. With the Appium selector export, you can now see and export the exact Appium selector used at any point in your test session. Perfect for debugging or even dropping into your own Appium scripts, it’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
Conclusion
In a world where testing needs to be fast, smart, and efficient, Kobiton 3.6 delivers on all fronts. Whether you’re tackling the latest Android or iOS, automating tests without scripts, or managing your team with ease, this version has something for every QA professional. So, dive into these new features, streamline your workflow, and watch your testing efficiency skyrocket.
