Thunders News Center

In the last release, Thunders Copilot started thinking out loud. Now the AI Persona does too, directly inside your test results.

AI reasoning is now displayed in a collapsible section across the step list and bug reports. It covers:

• Successful steps and failed steps: see why the AI chose a specific action, what it detected on the page, and how it decided to proceed.
• Assertion steps: understand exactly what the AI checked, what it compared, and why it passed or failed.
• Conditional steps: follow the AI’s logic when it evaluates conditions and decides which branch to take.
• Expand or collapse per step, so reasoning is there when you need it and out of the way when you don’t.

When a step fails or does something unexpected, you no longer have to guess why. The AI tells you what it saw, what it considered, and what it decided, right in the recap.

Test Sets used to be a way to group and run tests together. Now they work like real test campaigns, with execution control and live status tracking.

• Re-execute only failed tests from a campaign run, without re-running what already passed.
• Campaign status and pass rate update automatically after re-execution. No manual recalculation.
• Re-run individual test cases within a campaign, and the results attach to the same run with updated metrics.
• Works everywhere: from both the global Test Runs view and the Test Set detail view.

Previously, if a campaign had 3 failures out of 50 tests, you’d re-run the whole thing. Now you retry just those 3, and the campaign recalculates its pass rate on the spot.

All list views across the platform now include Clear and Reset buttons in column filter popups, making it faster to manage and remove filters.

• Reset button: removes the active filter on a column and immediately refreshes the grid to show all rows again; available on all filter types (text, number, date, and set filters)
• Clear button: clears the filter input fields without closing the filter popup, letting you start a new filter from scratch; available on text, number, and date filters.

Sprint #25

RGAA 4 (Référentiel Général d'Amélioration de l'Accessibilité) is now available as an accessibility compliance target for your Accessibility Persona.

• New standard option: select RGAA 4 from the Accessibility Standard dropdown in the Accessibility Persona profile view
• French government compliance: RGAA 4 is the French national accessibility framework, required for public sector websites in France and widely adopted across French-speaking regions
• Joins the existing set of standards including WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.2 AA, WCAG 2.0 AAA, Section 508, and EN 301 549

Sprint #25

A new video-style player lets you review test run execution as a continuous, step-by-step visual replay instead of clicking through individual screenshots.

• Play/Pause/Replay controls: watch the entire test execution play back automatically, or pause at any point to inspect a specific moment
• Adjustable playback speed: choose from 0.5x, 1x, 2x, or 4x speed to review runs faster or slower
• Keyboard shortcuts: space to play/pause, arrow keys to navigate frames

Sprint #25

The Visual Compare step has been enhanced, giving you more control over how your UI is validated against reference designs.

• Full Page Audit mode: compare an uploaded reference image against the entire scrollable length of the live page, catching differences even below the fold
• Visible Viewport mode: compare the reference image against only what is currently visible in the browser window, useful for validating specific sections of a page
• Test results now clearly indicate Visual match or Visual mismatch with detailed reporting on any differences found

Sprint #25

A new Execution Diagnostics section has been added to the Test Case Editor's Properties panel, giving you deeper insight into what happened during a test run.

• Debug Analysis: after a test run completes or fails, trigger an AI-powered analysis that automatically identifies root causes of failing steps and provides a summary of what went wrong
• Download Console Logs: download the browser's console output captured during the test run as a .txt file, making it easy to inspect JavaScript errors, warnings, and network issues
• Both tools become available in the Properties side panel once a test execution reaches a completed or failed state

Sprint #25

More granular control over accessibility checks.

• A new "Always" severity level is available in the Accessibility Persona configuration.
• Use it to confirm accessibility is respected on every new page your test visits, even when no standard is violated.

Sprint #25

The test case editor now moves at the speed of your keyboard.

• Run a test with **⌘**/Ctrl+E, stop it with Esc.
• Open Thunders Copilot with **⌘**/Ctrl+J.
• Open the properties panel with **⌘**/Ctrl+I
• And more... Tooltips show the shortcut next to every action.

Sprint #25

Thunders now flags test execution issues (like console errors), even when the UI still looks fine.

• Thunders automatically detects Browser Console Errors during execution.
• See exactly which console errors fired in any step.
• Turn the setting on or off from the QA Persona profile.
