Summary

In August 2020, LambdaTest introduced several enhancements to its platform to improve cross-browser testing capabilities amidst the ongoing pandemic and the shift to remote work. Key updates included live interaction in automation for Windows 10, Windows 8, and High Sierra, allowing testers to take control during script execution for better debugging. The platform also added network throttling to simulate mobile network conditions, a customizable interface for virtual machines, and a preview of macOS Big Sur on their Cloud Selenium Grid. New devices running Android 10 were added for mobile testing, and integrations with TargetProcess and Favro were introduced to enhance bug management. Additional features included the ability to export screenshots to a zip file, test behind login pages using an API, and enhancements to the LT Browser for responsive testing, such as network throttling, touch mode, and a find-in-page feature. These updates aim to provide a seamless and efficient cross-browser testing experience for users.
