Available in mabl Trainer v2.2.19, you can now enter text containing variables into an element found by CSS or XPath query. For example, if you have a variable "userID", you can reference it in the text as "{{@userID}}".
mabl now supports tracking your page load performance in Chrome with the perceptual speed index metric. This metric describes how quickly the contents of a page are visibly loaded with an emphasis on user perception of loading speed. This metric is also used by the Google Lighthouse tools as the primary measure of page loading speed.
Users of mabl's DataTables may have noticed that it is difficult to determine which row of a DataTable was used in a given Journey Run. We have added Scenario Names to make this much easier.
We're happy to announce mabl now has the ability to create reusable javascript steps called snippets. While training any step that includes javascript code, you'll be given the option to save that javascript text as a snippet. Then that snippet can be loaded into any of your other javascript steps within the trainer without having to write that same script again, no more copy and paste.
You can now duplicate flows on the flow detail page. By clicking on the "duplicate" button at the top, a new copy will be generated for reuse across your journeys.
The mabl trainer now supports nested iframes. With version 2.2.8 of the mabl trainer you can finally train against applications that utilize iframes nested inside other iframes. We've also improved the iframe tracking to be more accurate during training sessions.
With the latest release, mabl now supports capturing logs during Javascript steps. Any calls to console.log, console.warn, or console.error inside the Javascript step will show up as part of your mabl log output as well as writing to the browser console. If you have existing steps with console calls, mabl will automatically start picking up that log output without any changes required.
mabl now supports downloading HTTP Archive (HAR) files for any given step in the journey. These files provide all the network requests made by the application under test during the current step and can be useful when trying to debug network errors that occur during test runs.
Switch to a dark mabl theme that can ease eye strain and help you stay focused when working in a dark place or late at night.
We've released a number of enhancements to mabl's logging of journey results. The primary goal is to improve customer's ability to debug and understand what happened when things go wrong (or if you just want to double check our work). To that extent we are peeling back the curtain a little bit and giving some more detail around what mabl is doing behind the scenes. Some examples of the improvements:
