Browserstack Release Notes

You can now track changes made to a module in Low Code Automation, including who made the change and when. If needed, you can quickly restore an earlier version, making it easier to manage reusable test steps with confidence.

Key Highlights

• Every module edit automatically creates a new version, including step changes, variable updates, and module renames.
• Review version details from the Version history tab, including the author, timestamp, and where the edit was made.
• Restore a previous version in one click, and Low Code Automation automatically updates all tests that use that module.
• View and make edits to module steps without the recorder such as add variables, change step level configurations, etc.

Module version history gives you better visibility into module changes, easier rollback when needed, and more confidence when maintaining reusable test workflows.

You can now distribute parallel test capacity across teams in Low Code Automation, giving each team dedicated capacity or access to a shared organization-level pool.

Key Highlights:

• Parallels are managed at the organization level for Low Code Automation.
• If your organization uses teams, the Owner or group Admin can assign a dedicated number of parallels to a team.
• Teams can also be set up to share the organization’s parallel pool instead of using dedicated capacity.

This gives organizations more control over how parallel test capacity is distributed, helping teams run tests efficiently and reduce wait times for builds.

We’ve added a powerful new feature to App Workflow Analyzer to give you a complete, unified view of your app's accessibility health. With Consolidate Reports, you can:

Consolidate Reports

• Combine multiple session reports (login, onboarding, checkout, settings) into one named, permanent artifact
• Automatically identify and hide duplicate issues across user flows for a clean view
• File bugs with complete traceability back to every original source report

Start consolidating your reports today!

Admins and Owners can now enforce organization-wide accessibility rulesets, overriding user-level settings across Workflow Analyzer sessions and automated test runs.

• Enforce Standards: Set an org-wide standard (such as WCAG 2.2 AA or RAAM 1.1) so all teams test against the same baseline.
• Custom Rulesets: Enable or disable specific rule categories, Best Practices, and Experimental rules.
• Automated Consistency: Ensure all team members test against identical criteria to maintain reliable compliance tracking.

How to enable: Go to Dashboard > Settings > Rule Engine Configuration, toggle custom settings on, select your rules, and click Save Settings.

We’ve expanded the industry’s leading automated screen reader testing suite.

You now have an alternate way to run screen reader audits:

Instant URL Scans, in addition to our powerful CI/CD pipeline checks.

Now you can test static pages on demand without waiting for a build trigger. Simply paste a URL, select "Screen Reader scan," and get a comprehensive report.

• Run instant on-demand scans or schedule recurring scans based on desired frequency.
• Test your pages on real desktop NVDA and Voiceover (upcoming) infrastructure.
• Track scan history in a central dashboard and monitor accessibility performance over time.

We’ve updated the BrowserStack Accessibility Design Toolkit to give you more control over how you document and test your designs.

• Component Annotations: Developers can now see focus order, ARIA notes, and dev-handoff instructions rendered directly on the Figma frames.
• Aligned WCAG Standards: Designers can set the toolkit to match your exact compliance goals (up to WCAG 2.2 AAA), ensuring they test against the same criteria you do.
• Universal Component Scanning: Validate Text Contrast, Resize Text, and Target Size on any UI element.

New: Fail Proof Quality Gates, JSON Artifacts, and Automated PR Reviews!

We’ve shipped powerful new automation updates to Accessibility DevTools to help QA teams stop chasing regressions and start building bulletproof accessibility gates.

• Incremental scans in CLI: Use the new CLI flag to run incremental scans. It evaluates only new or modified lines in your PR. If your diff is clean, it exits 0—even if legacy issues exist elsewhere in the file.

• Support for Linting across new frameworks: We now lint .cshtml, C#, .aspx, CSS, JSP, markdown, and Vue as you type.

• JSON Artifacts: Export CLI scan findings in clean JSON format to instantly feed your engineering quality dashboards like SonarQube.
