Digital.ai Testing 26.6 Release Notes

Natively Built-In Accessibility Reports​

Accessibility scan results, powered by Deque Axe, are now available directly within generated test reports.

Teams can review accessibility findings alongside functional test results in the same test session, without switching tools or manually exporting data. This creates one review workflow with audit-ready evidence.

Combined with secure report sharing, stakeholders can review the same evidence through a protected link, making it easier than ever to collaborate across teams.

To learn more about accessibility, see Accessibility Scans in Reporter.

Android 17 Support​

Earlier this year, we announced support for Android 17 Beta to help teams validate applications ahead of the official release. Now, Digital.ai Testing supports the Android 17 official release, teams can test on the latest OS version to validate compatibility, uncover potential issues early, and ensure a smooth user experience.

Important Notes​

Deprecation Notices​

warning

  • Reporter URL – Starting August 2026 (v26.8), Reporter URLs based on test_id (e.g. .../html-report/index.html?test_id=123) will be deprecated in favor of new UUID-based Reporter URLs (e.g. .../html-report/uuid). This eliminates issues caused by project-specific test ID mappings, allowing reports to be shared across projects. Update any existing report links in your documentation, dashboards, integrations, or other workflows before upgrading. Learn more.

  • Local Disk Installation – Starting in version 26.9, the Install from local disk option for the Install command in SeeTest Grid is deprecated and will be discontinued at the end of September 2026. Migrate any test scripts that use local disk paths to install applications through the Application Manager, a URL, or the cloud using a unique application name instead. For migration assistance, contact the Technical Support team.

  • OCR-based Tests – By the end of 2026, OCR-based text recognition in Appium Grid and SeeTest Client workflows will be deprecated. Plan future OCR-based automation using the image recognition capabilities available through Appium Image Recognition on Appium Server.

Known Issues​

  • iOS 27 beta

  • iOS (general)

    • Switching between Safari browser tabs (window handles) may fail on devices running iOS 18.x through iOS 26.2. This is a known Apple limitation that is resolved in iOS 26.5 and later.
    • On iOS 18 and below, web elements may be incorrectly reported as not visible on zoomed pages.
