Release notes - September 11th 2024

Featured Release - JST Test Execution 🚀

Tests can now be executed in JST! 🕰️

Due to heavy customer demand, we have released a new feature — Autify NoCode Web now supports test execution in Japan Standard Time (JST)!

Benefits of JST Test Execution

Autify runs tests in UTC timezone by default, but if your site or application has specific requirements based on the time in JST, you can now adjust your scenarios and test plans to test those requirements.

Also, sites and applications designed to exclusively work in JST and on devices using JST will now work without issue on Autify.

In short, if you are based in Japan or primarily serve Japan-based users, you no longer have to worry about timezone differences between your product and Autify NoCode Web!

For more information, please read Japan Standard Time (JST) Test Execution.

Visual regression testing threshold 🎨

You can now set a visual regression threshold for your Element Should Look The Same steps. This threshold is set on a per-step basis and can be found in the step’s settings under the label Set visual regression diff threshold .

Accepted values range from 0% - 100%. The higher the threshold, the more forgiving the step will be of visual differences. In the past, a difference of even 0.01% would have caused the step to fail, but now you will be able to verify the appearance of elements in a much more flexible way!

For more information, please read Visual Regression Testing for Elements.
