TestCafe Studio 1.5.0

Released: Aug 9, 2021

Updates in 1.5.0

Features

  • Test script recorder
    • TestCafe Studio can now record test scripts - The new update makes it just as easy to record test scripts as it was to record codeless tests. That way, power users can create more tests (extend end-to-end test coverage) faster than before.
  • New license confirmation algorithm - Added a faster algorithm for license confirmation. Because of this change, you may need to re-authorize your copy of TestCafe Studio after you update to v1.5.
  • Design improvements:
    • Dark theme - Dark themes have become commonplace: all three major operating systems provide dark themes of their own. With the addition of a dark theme, TestCafe Studio no longer looks out of place on the workstations of dark mode users.
    • Welcome Page Redesign - Redesigned the Welcome Page features script recorder controls and given it a clean new look.
    • Explorer Panel Redesign - The Explorer panel now has a cleaner, simplified design. Controls that were redundant and rarely used have been removed.
    • UX improvements:
      • The “Help” menu now features the “Give Feedback” option.
      • You can now close tabs with a mouse wheel click.
      • TestCafe Studio preserves the content of assertion action target when you switch between them (codeless tests only).
      • TestCafe Studio preserves methods that follow the Selector constructor when you change an action’s base Selector (codeless tests only).
      • The application includes the following new keyboard shortcuts:
        • Ctrl + E switches between the TestCafe Studio window and the browser window during test recording.
        • Ctrl + R activates the Action Recording tab.
        • Ctrl + S activates the Selector Playground tab.
        • Ctrl + D pauses the script Recorder.
  • Major TestCafe module update
    • TestCafe Studio v1.5 includes the latest version of the TestCafe framework - v1.15.0. This version introduces the following new test script capabilities:
      • A method that dispatches DOM events.
      • Support for requestHook header modification.
      • Optional parameters for quarantine mode configuration.

Fixes

  • Test recorder incorrectly loads iframe Selector generation rules.
  • Linux browsers terminate prematurely because of an IPC_CHANNEL_CLOSED error.
  • TestCafe Studio hangs during report export.
  • Cannot run tests that interact with iframes that have the srcdoc attribute.
