Winter 2025 Platform Updates

As we get ready for the holidays, we’re rolling out several enhancements designed to make your automated testing faster.

Forms in Popups or Modals

You can now easily test forms that appear inside popups or modals. When creating a new test flow, click the “Form in Popup or Modal” checkbox and enter the class or ID of the element that opens your form. CheckView will automatically include that click as part of your generated steps, allowing the test to open the popup and generate your test flow automatically without interruption.

Popup and Cookie Banner Handling

We’ve overhauled how CheckView handles popups and cookie banners. Instead of removing elements from the page (which could break forms or hide other content), CheckView now attempts to click the close on pop-ups and accept cookie banners automatically, just like a real user.

Further, you can now define your own custom selectors for popups, modals, or cookie banners when creating a test flow. This allows you to target specific elements using classes or IDs, ensuring that even if CheckView doesn’t automatically detect a popup or banner, it will still be handled properly and won’t interfere with test flow generation or execution.

Internal Step Notes

Document your work directly in the Test Step Editor. With the new step notes feature, admins and collaborators can add private notes explaining why a step exists or what it does, helping future you (or your teammates) quickly understand the reasoning behind each test action. These notes stay private within the editor and won’t appear in results or reports, keeping your workspace clean but informative.

Instant Typing Mode

Say goodbye to slow, character-by-character typing. All new test flows now use our Instant Typing Mode, which fills out forms in a single action rather than entering text one keystroke at a time. Instant Mode cuts test times by up to 30%, speeding up feedback loops without sacrificing reliability. Existing test flows will continue to use Natural Typing Mode for now, and you can switch modes anytime in your test settings.

Human Typing Mode: Ideal for cases that depend on key-by-key typing (like live validation).

Instant Typing Mode: Best for most tests where speed and efficiency matter.

Skip Auto-Generated Steps

You can now disable automatic step generation when creating new Form or WooCommerce tests. This is perfect for advanced users who want to build fully custom flows but still want to use CheckView’s CAPTCHA bypass and built-in submission / order verification features. Instead of creating a test, letting it fail, and editing afterward to add your custom test steps, you can now start clean by disabling the toggle: “Generate Steps” so you can start adding your own test steps right away.

Tweaks and Improvements

• Better Conditional Logic Support: Auto-generated test flows now intelligently handle conditional logic and multi-page forms by automatically detecting field visibility changes and page transitions, reducing manual step adjustments and speeding up overall test generation.
• Auto-Retry on WordPress Maintenance Screens: CheckView now automatically detects when WordPress maintenance mode is detected and retries the test a second time before failing.
• Step Renamed for Clarity: The “Assert Order Placed” step has been renamed to “Verify Order in Database” to clearly indicate that CheckView confirms the order is recorded in WooCommerce rather than simply displayed on screen.

All new features are live today across all plans. As always, we love hearing your ideas and feedback, you can share them anytime on the feedback board or reaching out to our support team. Happy Testing!
