LambdaTest | January 09, 2024
LambdaTest, a leading cloud-based unified testing platform, announced an integration with New Relic, the all-in-one observability platform for every engineer, to help bridge the gap between testing and performance monitoring. This integration empowers software engineering, quality assurance, and DevOps teams to visualize and understand their digital experience testing metrics in real-time by providing a single view of their LambdaTest results alongside performance insights from across the entire software stack—all within the New Relic observability platform. With the ability to optimize and monitor automated test execution results, technical teams gain deeper insights into automation scripts that enable them to deliver high-quality products at an accelerated pace.
Every modern business is encountering challenges as digital ecosystems become increasingly complex, large, and distributed. At the same time, without a unified platform, software teams and testers have limited visibility into automation script performance, which can lead to collaboration silos, inefficient resource utilization, and slower incident identification and response times. To address the need for observability in test execution data and analytics, this integration arms engineering teams with actionable insights to efficiently address automation script issues, reduce testing bottlenecks, and optimize software performance. This allows organizations to ensure fast and reliable application delivery, so they can produce better digital experiences for their customers—before it impacts their bottom line.
The LambdaTest and New Relic integration allow users to:
Proactively improve digital experiences with a pre-built, curated New Relic dashboard to monitor key metrics such as test executions, durations, failure rates, and errors.
Accelerate troubleshooting with deeper insights into test failures, anomalies, and environments where errors occurred.
Build better cross-platform experiences by gaining insights on website and application compatibility and functionality across thousands of different browsers and devices.
“In our digital-first world, poor user experiences are more than just an annoyance—they have the power to cause significant loss in revenue,” said Manav Khurana, Chief Product Officer at New Relic. "With the LambdaTest integration for New Relic, we’re combining the power to automate digital experience testing with our unified telemetry and all-in-one observability platform—so organizations can optimize their digital experiences, without needing multiple tools to monitor the rest of their software stack.”
Mayank Bhola, Co-Founder and Head of Product at LambdaTest stated, "This integration is not just a technical enhancement but a strategic move towards empowering businesses with data-driven decision-making. The combined strength of LambdaTest and New Relic ensures that businesses can deliver high-quality software at a faster pace, ultimately contributing to their bottom line."
This integration is now available to all LambdaTest users and all New Relic full platform users at no additional cost. To get started, check out the LambdaTest quickstart integration for New Relic.

Appvance | December 19, 2023
Appvance, the leader in generative AI for software quality, is excited to announce the launch of Appvance IQ (AIQ) 5.0, a groundbreaking update that marks a significant leap forward in the world of AI-native automated testing. This release features the game-changing Generative AI V3, a comprehensive update that enhances performance, reporting, visual object recognition, and bug-finding accuracy. Generative AI V3 is the result of a decade of research and continued advancements since the launch of AI-native script generation in 2018. AIQ 5.0 is the world's most advanced end-to-end testing platform for web and mobile applications, where AI is able to autonomously identify 10X more bugs than teams using legacy scripting or modern recorders. This virtually obsoletes manual testing and legacy scripting such as Selenium.
AIQ 5.0 includes the following new features:
No-Code Fully Visual User Experience
Users will experience an improved intuitive interface that empowers them to unleash hundreds of Autonomous Testing bots (trained to do exploratory testing with BDD-based validations) effortlessly.
Enhanced Bug Detection
Custom page state identification ensures accurate classification of unique pages and page state enabling rapid, accurate defect detection with zero duplication through visual analysis of page elements.
System-wide fallback accessors integration provides automatic script repair across multiple executions without maintenance.
Improved visual accessors and visual object recognition deliver zero-effort test creation to a new level.
Real-Time Visibility and Data-Driving Simplicity
Live coverage map while the Autonomous Testing bots are executing, gives real-time insight into how the AI is generating thousands of critical tests.
Enhanced direct data inputs enable real-time interactive data driving of the AI bots allowing them to reach every corner of the application.
Effortless data-driven AI-generated tests during training allow dynamic addition of multiple data sources for the bots to consume.
Unique Autonomous Testing Executions for Different Application Variants
The new Autonomous Testing bots adapt to different application variants and morph automatically extending your test coverage - enabling a wide variety of test scenarios and configurations for full 360° quality insight.
"AIQ 5.0 advances Autonomous Testing by taking a revolutionary approach to generative AI that delivers unparalleled levels of productivity, coverage, and defect detection," said Appvance CEO, Andre Liao. "This is a testament to our decades-long commitment to providing the world's most powerful, user-friendly, intelligent testing platform, with our continued investment in generative AI leading the way."
