Shared by Ines • January 15, 2026

What’s New

Thunders now allows users to export entities from their lists to CSV files, directly from tables in the platform.

Why It Matters

  • Supports reporting and analytics
  • Makes it easy to share, track, and analyze test cases and test runs outside the platform

How It Works

Users can export tables such as test cases or test runs with a single click. The CSV includes all visible data: names, test sets, last run data, environment, and last edit exactly as seen in the platform.

Impact

Teams can now quickly generate accurate reports for audits, reviews, or data analysis, improving transparency and workflow efficiency.

🗂 Multi-Tab Support in Runner

Shared by Ines • January 15, 2026

What’s New

Thunders’ test runner now supports multiple browser tabs within a single scenario.

Why It Matters

  • Expands runner capabilities to handle more complex test cases
  • Supports longer, multi-step scenarios that open new tabs
  • Lays the groundwork for future tab-switching functionality

How It Works

The runner now tracks and interacts with all open tabs during execution. Users can still opt for single-tab linear execution if preferred. Example: A sign-up flow that opens a new tab is now fully executed and interactable within the runner.

Impact

Teams can now simulate real-world workflows more accurately, handle complex multi-tab scenarios, and prepare for advanced tab-based execution features in the future.

Shared by Ines • January 15, 2026

What’s New

  • Conditional Execution (IF Steps): Tests can now follow conditional flows, stopping execution or jumping to a target step based on runtime conditions.

Why It Matters

  • Conditional Steps: Covers scenarios with conditional behaviors, enabling more flexible and realistic test flows.

How It Works

  • IF steps evaluate conditions during execution to either stop or jump to a specified step. Example: Stop login test if credentials are invalid, skipping unnecessary assertions.

🔄 Reuse Test Cases in Teardown

Shared by Ines • January 15, 2026

What’s New

Thunders now allows reusing test cases in teardown steps, extending the reuse functionality beyond the main test flow.

Why It Matters

  • Expands test case reuse across all stages of a test
  • Enhances test composition and workflow flexibility
  • Makes cleanup steps like logouts, resets, or environment cleanup easier to manage

How It Works

Users can now reference existing test cases in the teardown phase. For example, a logout test can be reused after a login test completes, ensuring consistent cleanup without redefining steps.

Impact

This update gives teams more flexibility and efficiency in structuring tests, reducing duplication, and improving maintainability.

Shared by Ines • December 26, 2025

Browser steps now support user-defined descriptions, replacing technical selectors with clear, purposeful labels that communicate intent at a glance.

What this means for you:

★ Test flows are no longer cluttered with raw XPath or CSS selectors.

★ Instead of interpreting technical syntax, you see exactly what each step accomplishes.

This makes your tests more intuitive to read, easier to maintain, and accessible across your entire team.

Shared by Ines • December 26, 2025

Downloaded Excel files are now ✨first-class citizens✨ in your test validation!

The runner accurately parses .XLSX contents, making every field & value available for comprehensive assertions.

What this means for you:

Organizations relying on Excel exports for validating success criteria can now build robust assertions directly into their test flows, without manual workarounds or post-processing.

Shared by Ines • December 26, 2025

Variable handling is now more intuitive.

The runner automatically understands dynamic values like "today" without requiring explicit date specifications, and generates variables more reliably across test scenarios.

What this means for you:

★ Write tests more naturally.

★ Dynamic values that mirror how users actually think, reducing friction and improving test reliability.
