iOS Test Recorder

Create iOS automation faster by recording real user interactions and converting them into reusable test steps. The iOS Test Recorder captures taps, swipes, and keyboard input, and automatically translates them into executable test actions.

Recorded steps can be reviewed and edited directly in the Test Editor, and the steps can then be exported as standard XCUITest or Appium code for use in a local IDE, making it easy to move from manual validation to maintainable automation without writing code from scratch. For more details, refer to the Test Editor documentation.

Support for WebDriver BiDi Protocol for Browser Testing

Building on last release’s BiDi support for Appium, Digital.ai Testing now adds WebDriver BiDi support for browser testing as well. This enables low-latency, bidirectional communication between your test code and the browser over WebSockets, providing real-time event visibility and more responsive automation.
