Digital.ai Continuous Testing 23.3 Release Notes

Released 12 April 2023

New Transaction Report Page​

Transaction reports are used to measure your application’s impact on the device hardware at runtime, allowing you to track the performance of different builds or versions of your applications. The report contains measurements like Memory and CPU usage, as well as battery and network metrics. Previously, reports only included only the max and average of samples taken. Now you can see the impact of different actions from within the transaction, which will give you more context and information about the different impacts that your application had on the device. Learn more about Transaction Reports.
