New

Early access for authenticator MFA support

We recently added support for MFA logins that use time-based one-time password (TOTP) authentication! Currently available as an early access program, our MFA support allows you to increase testing coverage to include applications that require a temporary code from an authenticator app in addition to username and password.

Check out the changelog to learn more.

General availability of the Unified Runner for Firefox

Running Firefox tests on the Unified Runner is now generally available for all customers and trial users. To learn more about the benefits of running Firefox tests on the Unified Runner, check out the changelog.

Reporting API general availability

Reporting API endpoints are now generally available. You can use the reporting API to programmatically export test results and test articles to a reporting tool or database for analysis. Learn more.

Enhancements

Run specific DataTable scenarios ad hoc

We now support running a specific DataTable scenario for ad hoc test runs! You can run a specific DataTable locally or in the cloud to get quick feedback on your test. Learn more.

Right click support

The mabl Trainer now supports recording right click steps, which you can use to test application functionality that is only accessible from a custom context menu. Learn more.

Save the results of a CSS / XPath custom find to a variable

You can now create a custom find step that uses CSS or XPath to target a specific element and store a property of the target element, such as the innerText, in a variable. Learn more.
