v3.1 (2025-09-24)

Welcome to the new edition of AIVA news – from now in English to accommodate our growing base of early adopters, already reaching beyond the borders of Czechia. This time we also include an updated roadmap.

In this week’s new release of AIVA, labelled version 3.1, we introduce one major new feature and several improvements.

The most exciting new feature is AIVA being able to reach locally deployed applications via gateways (formerly called Local agents). A gateway is an application that users deploy in their local network or a local workstation. The gateway can then reach the target application under test, as well as AIVA in the cloud. When designing a test or executing it, you can choose which gateway should be used. At this moment, a gateway can be launched as a Docker container or as an .exe file.

We continue to improve the capabilities of test editing. You are now able to add specific actions in between the test steps, namely assert text, clear text or delay. We are now testing this new feature with these three simple actions and will be finding a way to enable adding the more disruptive actions (click, hover, type text, etc.) in the future. However, you can already be looking forward to the ability of deleting any step in the edit mode. Further down the roadmap, we also plan to add the ability to rerecord only part of the test and connect it with the original steps.

Two recently added features have been tested by our users this time – hiding of sensitive information and labeling of tests. Although our testing users had some interesting ideas for improvements and new features, such as more advanced filtering and labels management, the tested features in their current scope proved to be user friendly.

Most important bugfixes:

• Editing assert area uses the original page image, not the most recent one – In edit mode, the area used for text assertion can be edited. However, the edit was being done on the version of the tested app from the last recording, so tests could not be properly fixed if the tested app had changed in the meantime.
• Long loading of results – Occasionally, loading of a test result could take up to a minute. This should happen no more.
• Text caret – The flashing line marking the point of text input had been frequently recognized as an “I”, causing flakiness of the text assertion. AIVA now tells the caret to hide when snapping a pic for text recognition.

Coming soon:

• Deleting test steps in edit mode
• Running a test batch defined by labels in a parallel or a sequential queue
• Renaming of pages and elements

Finally, we present the latest update to this year’s roadmap for AIVA:
