The year might be winding down, but innovation at mabl is still going strong! We're constantly working to bring you new features and enhancements that streamline your testing workflows and empower you to deliver even higher-quality applications. In this post, we'll dive into the latest mabl innovations, including exciting GenAI-powered features, expanded database support, and more!
From the challenges that came with the territory as novices, through our journey of growth with mabl, to finally becoming quality ninjas, we are going to look at the way AI and low-code has been successful in the world of video engineering.
GenAI Takes Center Stage
AI-Powered Test Failure Summaries Now Available for API Tests
Troubleshooting failed API tests just got a whole lot easier! We've extended our AI-powered test failure summaries to include API tests. Now, when an API test fails, mabl automatically analyzes the test output—including test information, request/response details, scripts, and variables—to provide a concise explanation of the potential cause. This helps you quickly identify and resolve issues, saving you valuable time and effort. Check out the documentation to learn more.
GenAI Assertions Screen Capture
We're making GenAI Assertions even more powerful with screen capture capabilities! Creating assertions for your entire application view is now a breeze with GenAI Screen Capture. This feature simplifies asserting on the entire viewport, which is especially useful when you need to consider the full context of the page, such as evaluating the login state or performing a comprehensive evaluation. Check out the documentation to learn more.

Expanded Database and Mobile Testing Capabilities
Expanded Database Support for MongoDB and Oracle
We've broadened our database testing capabilities with added support for MongoDB and Oracle! This expands on our existing support for MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. Now, you can seamlessly integrate database testing into your workflows for even more comprehensive test coverage, regardless of your database technology. And, as with all database connections in mabl, you can generate full queries with natural language using our AI-assisted query generator. Learn more about MongoDB and Oracle support.
Easier Element Selection for Mobile App Testing
We've simplified element selection for mobile app testing. Now, when selecting an element in your mobile app during the training process, you can use your up/down arrow keys to isolate and select the element of interest. This makes it easier to identify and select the correct elements for your tests, especially in complex mobile app layouts. Check out the documentation to learn more.
Enhanced API Functionality and More
New Endpoints Available in the mabl API
We've added new endpoints to the mabl API, providing you with even more flexibility and control over your testing programmatically. Here are some examples of what the new endpoints allow you to do:
- Credentials: If your team often updates credentials, write a script to automatically update them via APIs when you rotate them.
- Flows: Look up and update details on flows returned from the reporting API.
- Issues: Export details on issues associated with mabl tests to an external reporting tool.
- Link Agent: Write a script that dynamically spins up and tears down Link Agents on demand for ephemeral environments.
