API load testing early access

Users expect websites to load quickly and be responsive, and to that end, software teams need to ensure that their application's APIs deliver fast, reliable responses at scale. To address this challenge, we've introduced API load testing as an early access program!

With mabl performance tests, you can use existing functional API tests to create an API load test. Using key metrics, such as API response time and HTTP error rate, you can validate that your application is meeting performance SLAs and monitor for regressions in your app. To learn more about API load testing, check out the changelog.

Safari (WebKit) general availability

Running tests on Safari (WebKit) is now generally available for trial users and customers on Growth and Enterprise plans. To learn more about the benefits of running Safari (WebKit) tests on the Unified Runner, check out the changelog.

Enhancements

Chrome and Edge v113 available

Browser tests running on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge now use v113.

When you train a browser test, the mabl Trainer uses the current version of Chrome installed on your machine. To ensure more consistent results between Trainer, local, and cloud runs, we recommend keeping your Chrome version up to date.

Changes

Safari Legacy end of support

Safari Legacy entered an end-of-support phase on May 15, 2023 and will be formally retired on July 3, 2023.

During this time, we encourage all existing customers to migrate any outstanding plans that run tests on Safari Legacy to Safari (WebKit) on the Unified Runner.
