Changelog

A packed release this week with three major features: step-level Checks to validate conditions on any action, the new Warning status that goes beyond simple Success/Failed, and the Realtime Status that finally breaks free from the 48h limit.

✅ New: Checks on Steps

Add success conditions to any step in your test.

Click on a step, go to the Checks tab, and define your conditions. If the condition isn't met, the step fails (or warns, more on that below).

Available checks to begin with:

• URL: verify the current URL contains, equals, or matches a pattern

• Step duration: check if the step completed within a time threshold

Combine multiple checks with AND/OR logic. More check types coming soon.

⚠️ New: Warning Status

Your tests are no longer limited to Success or Failed.

For each check, choose what happens if the condition isn't met: Failed (red) or Warning (yellow). This gives you granularity between "something is broken" and "something is slow but still working."

This status propagates to monitors as Degraded status, visible in yellow on the Realtime Status.

Important: No checks are added automatically on existing tests. To see the Warning status in action, add checks to existing tests or create new ones.

📊 New: Realtime Status Without Time Limit

No more 48h limit.

Realtime Status now lets you go back in time with ranges up to 12 months (7d, 30d, 90d, 12 months). You can also drag a period on the chart to zoom into it.

↩️ New: Undo / Redo in Test Editor

Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+Y (or Ctrl+Shift+Z) to redo.

Works on everything: structure, renames, values, hooks, adding/deleting/moving steps and step groups. Text edits are grouped into 1-second sessions to undo a full burst of typing at once.

🔑 New: Personal Access Token

New section in the Profile page to generate a personal access token.

Use it to configure the Kapptivate CLI and MCP server. One click to copy, ready to use.

🤖 New: AI Visual Assertion & Spell Check on Smartphone

Two new action types available in smartphone tests:

• AI visual assertion: AI-powered visual validation

• Spell check: spelling verification

✨ Improvements

This release rebuilds test campaigns from the ground up and sharpens the whole smartphone testing flow. Plus a wave of polish improvements and fixes across the product.

🎯 Improved: Test Campaigns 2.0

Your campaigns just got a lot more flexible.

Test campaigns now let you customize behavior per campaign and organize them like a library:

• Per-campaign overrides: starting URL, browser preset and test labels, all configurable independently

• Variables v3 support: pick which variant of a variable group is used per variable

• Collections: group related campaigns to keep large catalogs tidy

Same tests, different runs, no duplication.

🏷️ New: Hook Tag in Test Forms

A new Hook Tag component shows which hooks are wired up to the test, in both web and smartphone forms. No more digging through menus to check what's running before and after.

📦 New: Bulk Monitor Creation for Smartphone Tests

Smartphone tests join the party. You can now bulk-create monitors from a list of smartphone tests, just like the web flow. Spin up monitoring for an entire APP V2 or Web V2 test list in one go.

🔀 New: Reorder Step Groups by Drag & Drop

Drag and drop step groups directly in the test canvas to reorganize them. Combined with the new draggable cursors, restructuring a test is now a one-gesture operation.

General Variables: Define a variable once, use it everywhere. A single value shared across all your tests, perfect for environment URLs, API endpoints, or any constant.

Variable Groups with Variants: Variable groups now support multiple sets of values. Think user profiles: create a "Profiles" group with variants like "Admin", "Standard User", "Guest". Each variant holds its own values (login, password, permissions...).

Easy Composition: When executing a test or configuring a monitor, select which variants to use. Mix and match to create the exact scenario you need. No duplication, no manual overrides.

🔄 New: Replace Test

Swap an existing test with a new one while keeping all connected monitors, historical data, and reporting continuity intact. No more recreating monitors when a test needs a major overhaul.

🌐 New: Browser Preset at Monitor Creation

Select a Browser Preset directly when creating a monitor. Your test runs under the exact same conditions as manual execution. A default preset is now automatically applied for web tests.

Not every error deserves to wake someone up at 3am.

The new Error Exclusions feature lets you define patterns to filter out expected or harmless errors from triggering alerts. Find it under Incidents → Configuration → Error exclusions.

Create rules based on error patterns (e.g., "robot unreachable" during planned maintenance) and focus your alerts on what actually matters.

Perfect for sharing status pages with clients or stakeholders.

🏠 Redesigned: Agents & Devices in Main Navigation

We've moved Devices lab, Browser presets, and Agents out of the admin panel and into the main sidebar under Equipments.

What this means:

• All users can now see and browse agents, smartphones, and devices

• Actions are permission-based: only users with the right roles can perform maintenance, reboot, or configuration changes

• Cleaner separation between viewing and managing

No more hunting through admin menus to check device status.

⚙️ Redesigned: Settings & Account Management

We've reorganized the Settings panel for clarity:

• My Account: Profile & Preferences in one place

Moving through your test collections is now more intuitive.

We've reworked the back buttons and breadcrumbs to make navigation feel natural. No more wondering where you'll end up when you click back.

📋 Improved: Browser Preset in Execution Details

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
