Changelog

This release is packed with features you've been waiting for. Automate repetitive setup and teardown with Hooks, test across any browser and screen size with Browser Presets, and filter your Realtime Status with surgical precision. Plus, all your agent types now get the same love with brand new detail pages.

🪝 New: Hooks — Automate Before & After Actions

Say goodbye to repetitive setup and cleanup steps scattered across your tests.

Hooks let you run step groups automatically at key moments:

• Before a test: set up your environment, log in, prepare data

• After a test: clean up, log out, reset state

• Before each step: add consistent pre-conditions

• After each step: capture screenshots, validate state

Define it once, reuse it everywhere. Your tests just got cleaner and more maintainable.

🌐 New: Browser Presets — One Test, Every Device

"How do I test my site on mobile?" You asked, we delivered.

Browser Presets let you configure and save browser configurations including:

• Browser type: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari...

• Screen size & viewport: desktop, tablet, mobile

• Timezone & locale: test like your users experience it

• Custom headers: add authentication or custom parameters

Create a preset, select it in your test, and you're good to go.

🔍 New: Advanced Realtime Status Filters

Your monitoring just got smarter.

The new filter groups on Realtime Status let you build complex queries with OR / AND logic:

• Group filters together

• Choose how groups combine

• Get exactly the view you need

Whether you're tracking specific products, zones, or test types, you're now in full control.

📱 New: Agent Details Pages for All Agent Types

Following our Web Agent redesign, Cellular, Passive, and Smartphone agents now have their own dedicated detail pages with a clean tabbed interface:

• General: agent info and quick actions

• Connected Devices: see all SIMs, smartphones, and devices at a glance

• Monitors: all monitors running on this agent

• Settings: configuration and management

A unified experience across all your agents.

⚠️ New: Device Issue Status in Monitors

When a monitor fails due to a device issue, you'll now see it clearly.

You’ve been building more and more scenarios in Kapptivate, and one thing kept coming back:
“We need to have a solution to not repeat ourselves in the different scenarios”.

This release brings a big leap in how you create, maintain, and scale your test suites — with reusable building blocks, smarter editing, and better control over your environments.

🚀 New: Reusable Components

Say hello to Reusable Components — the fastest way to build tests without repetition.

Reusable Components are step groups you create once and reuse everywhere (login, logout, user creation, setup flows, etc.).
Update them a single time, and all the tests using them stay automatically in sync.

Why it matters:

• Write common flows once, reuse infinitely

• Massively reduce maintenance when apps change

• Compose scenarios like Lego instead of copy/pasting steps

• Keep large test suites consistent and scalable

Reusable Components are now available directly in the test creation form, so you can insert blocks as you build.

Collections for Components (new)

To keep things organized as your library grows, you can now store reusable components inside Collections.

Collections are available in the reusable page and in the import modal, making it easy to browse the right blocks fast.

✨ More new goodness in the Test Builder

• Move Step Groups Up / Down
  Reorder groups instantly with new Move Up / Move Down actions.

• Reset All Selectors (one click)
  You can now clean all selectors in a test without touching reusable steps.

• No Web Agent Warning
  If no web agent is available while creating a test or reusable, Kapptivate tells you clearly.

• Run Button Placement Updated
  Run now sits right next to Save in the new web test form for a smoother workflow.

• Tooltips on Icon Buttons
  Tooltips are now displayed on all icon-only buttons for improved accessibility and clarity.

🛠 Improvements

• Fixed a bug preventing the monitoring form from being saved when the monitor was paused.

• Improved reliability of the Live button opening the fullscreen modal.

• Corrected the display of “Connecting…” in live preview across different screen sizes.

• Improved Live Browser display when execution is pending.

• Execution duration is now accurate in multiple test execution.

• You can now run a test with CMD/CTRL + ENTER from the new test builder.

• Reset all selectors now only affects the test, not reusable component steps.

🐛 Fixes

• Deleting a reusable from its edit page now redirects correctly to the reusable list.

• Fixed the clickable area on reusable cards.

• Removed last incorrect mentions of “tests” on the reusable edit page.

• Duplicate test now correctly duplicates tests created with the new web test flow.

• Fixed a visual issue where an assert not displayed step could render incorrectly.

• Fixed cellular agents slots that could not be rebooted.

• Step details are now correctly disabled when viewing steps inside a reusable component.

• Collection and AddTeams modals are now removed from the DOM when closed.

• Fixed smartphone details page display.

• Detach component now detaches the entire reusable block.

• Fixed reusable creation failing if no test had ever been created before.

• Fixed step select values not being saved after changes.

• Adding a reusable to a test no longer resets form values after a run.

• Fixed reusable search showing incorrect titles.

• Clicking a reusable selection checkbox no longer navigates to the edit page.

You’ve been asking for a better way to manage test data, centralise values, and securely handle credentials across environments.
Today, we’re introducing a major upgrade to Variables in Kapptivate — and the addition of a brand-new concept: Secrets.

This update makes your scenarios more flexible, secure, and scalable than ever.

🔐 Introducing Secrets (new)

Safely store sensitive values such as passwords, access tokens or internal IDs — encrypted at rest and hidden in the UI.
Secrets can be referenced just like any other variable, so you can use them inside your scenarios without exposing sensitive data.

Perfect for:

• User credentials

• API keys

• Authentication tokens

• Sensitive identifiers

🎛 Upgraded Variables

Variables have been redesigned to give you more control and better maintainability across large test suites.

1. Single-value variables

Store a universal value once (URL, endpoints, IDs…) and reuse it across multiple scenarios.

2. Choice variables

Define a dropdown list of predefined values. Great for roles, device types, IBANs, or any input that changes depending on the use case.

3. Inline usage in scenario steps

Insert variables and secrets directly inside step inputs, assertions and conditions, making tests easier to maintain and adapt.

We’ve improved the SIMs & Smartphones details page to help you better understand each device’s status and activity

You can now:

• See detailed usage insights and the monitors running on the device

• Access all relevant device data in one clear view

• Get helpful guidance when a device is disconnected, so you know exactly what to do next

Explore the new experience — everything you need to monitor your devices is now clearer and more insightful ✨

Great news for our French-speaking users! You can now use Kapptivate in French. To switch your language:

1. Go to your Profile

2. Click on Update Preferences

3. Select Français

4. Click Save

Voilà! Kapptivate will now be displayed in French, making your experience even smoother.

Say hello to our newest feature: test-only mode! With this new option, you can temporarily pause all monitors running on a device, giving you full access to use it freely. It’s especially handy when you want to implement new tests on a device that’s already used for monitoring, or simply need to access the device remotely without being disrupted.

How to activate test-only mode

There are three ways to activate test-only mode on a smartphone, SIM, or web agent. You can do it from the Devices list, within the Device details page, or simply by right-clicking the device on the Live Session page.

What is test-only mode used for?

Once a device is in test-only mode, all monitors that were previously running on the device are paused with a special status:

This makes it easy to use the device in the Live Session page and to create new tests without monitors interfering while you're working. No more manually disabling monitors before creating new tests or trying to remember to turn them back on afterward!
