We’ve strengthened Thunders’ AI-driven testing intelligence so it works smarter and more reliably for you.

Every test you run is now more stable, flexible, and precise. From handling complex pages to interpreting dynamic UI elements, these improvements are designed to make your automated testing faster and more predictable.

  • AI Rigidity in Assertions: We made assertions lenient by default, so minor differences in formatting, spaces, or symbols don’t break your tests. You still have the option to enforce strict checks whenever you need precision.
  • Discovery Steps: We improved the stability and clarity of discovery steps, giving the Runner better understanding of page structure so it can reliably identify and interact with elements.
  • Dropdown Selection: Selecting from dropdowns is now more flexible and robust, letting you choose by value, position, or relative order handling more real-world scenarios.
  • Finding Page Elements: We added a guaranteed method for locating page elements in simple cases, helping you click, hover, or interact with confidence.

Impact:

→ These enhancements let you trust the Runner to execute complex workflows accurately, reduce test failures from minor UI quirks, and gain full visibility into every step.

We’ve made automation work smarter, so you can focus on what matters.
