Supported platforms

Perfecto integrates with and supports the IDEs, device platforms, and test frameworks specified here.

Minimal requirements

  • The Perfecto UI requires a resolution of at least 1366 x 768 pixels. Consider working with a resolution of 1400 x 900 pixels or higher.

    The following may lead to unexpected results:

    • Resizing windows

    • Scaling the size of text, apps, and other items using zoom

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 and earlier and Apple Safari 10 and earlier are deprecated for viewing the Perfecto UI.

For additional information, see also Best network practices.

With the latest version of Perfecto, automation testing is supported on the device platforms listed in this section.

Important: Based on the deprecation policy, Perfecto no longer supports older versions of the mobile OS. For details, see Suspension of support policy | Mobile device OS.

Perfecto supports iOS versions 12 to 17.5 Beta 1. For details about support limitations, see iOS support updates.

Perfecto supports Android versions 6 to 15 Developer Preview 2. For details about support limitations, see Android support updates.

In addition to a large set of mobile devices, the Perfecto provides a set of desktop-web environments for testing web applications. The web environments are characterized by:

  • Operating system, such as Windows 10 or MacOS Sonoma
  • Browser version, such as Chrome version 121, Firefox version 122, or Safari version 17
  • Screen resolution to support testing responsive web applications
  • Browser location setting, such as US East, AP Sydney, or EU Frankfurt

The web device is presented to the test script as a virtual machine, hosted by the Perfecto Lab. Normal initialization for the latest version combinations of the VM is approximately 10-15 seconds.

Use the browserVersion  capability to select the version of the browser to configure in your desktop web device.

You can follow the browser version roadmaps at the following links:

1 Windows versions run on Windows Server, as listed above. Due to Microsoft licensing issues, the Microsoft Server counterpart is supplied when you request a desktop edition. This does not affect the view or the input needed in the capabilities, but it entails the usage of slightly different libraries.

2 Edge is configured to disable the pop-up blocker.

Mac

Mac web sessions are created using physical Mac machines installed at your Perfecto CQ Lab.

Important: Mac web sessions may require longer initialization than Windows-based web sessions.

Perfecto's Selenium web testing is supported as specified in the following table.

* Deprecated. Will be End of Life (EOL) by end of 2023. For details about the Perfecto support policy, see Suspension of support policy | Desktop web OS.

You can only run Mac web sessions across multiple locations if your company has multiple Perfecto Labs with Mac machines installed.

Screen resolutions

  • 800x600
  • 1024x768 (default)

  • 2560x1440
  • 2560x1600
  • 3840x2160
  • Except for Visual Analysis commands, Perfecto's extensions are currently not supported for desktop web testing.
  • When creating a session with the platformName capability set to Mac, the location capability is mandatory.
  • Mac web sessions are created on real machines. This limits their number and type to the Mac machines installed on-site (CQ Lab).

The following operations are not currently supported on devices with the specified configurations:

Configuration Operations not supported

Mac with Safari browser
earlier than version 11

The driver.manage.maximize() function due to a Selenium issue

Mac with Safari browser
  • MouseClick
  • MouseMove

Firefox version 53 or later
  • MouseClick
  • MouseMove
  • Submit

Microsoft Internet Explorer

The capability acceptInsecureCerts is not supported due to a Selenium/Internet Explorer limitation. To work around this issue, use the following code instead:

driver.get("https://staff-np6.np.mlc.com.au/user/session/staff/login/manual");
driver.findElement(By.id("moreInfoContainer")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("overridelink")).click();

This section specifies the device models, operating systems, and Appium versions supported for virtual devices.

Perfecto supports simulators for iOS versions 15.2 and later, as specified in the following table. By default, Perfecto selects iPhone 14 with iOS 16.4.

The string in the Device model column corresponds to the value accepted by the deviceName capability. The value is not case sensitive.

* The following limitation applies to Android 12 and later: Secured screens do not display in videos and during live testing. However, you can use 'Secured screen instrumentation' during the app installation process to ensure that secured screens will be visible in the installed app. For details, see Manage apps. For automation testing, you can use the existing capability securedScreenInstrument. To turn on instrumentation of secured screens, set this capability to true. See also Install application (FR).

** This preview version causes occasional instability that may result in failures when attempting to open the emulator device for manual testing.

The following Appium versions are supported for virtual devices. The default version is the one shown in bold (usually the latest version).

  • 2.5

  • 2.4

  • 2.3

  • 2.2

  • 1.22.3

  • 1.21.0

  • 1.20.2

  • 1.19.1

  • 1.18.3

  • 1.17.1

For more information, see Simulators (iPhones and iPads) and Emulators (Android devices).

Perfecto integrates with the following:

For developers using instrumentation testing tools, the Test Framework Gradle plugin supports the following versions:

  • Espresso test methods for Android 4.3 or later
  • XCUITest test methods for iOS 10 or later (iOS 14 is supported with XCode 12 test binaries)

The latest Perfecto version supports Selenium/Appium automation scripts based on the following server and client versions:

Appium

Java client: 5.0.4 - 7.6.01

1 For best compatibility with Appium server, consider using Appium Java client version 7.1.0 or later. Note that Java client 8.0.0 has internal issues and will work only with Selenium 4.1.2. Java client 8.x only works with Appium Server 1.20 and later. 

2 Appium Java client 8 uses a direct connection to the Appium server and therefore cannot work with the following capability: ("automationName", "PerfectoMobile");
In addition, with Java client 8 or later, you must add the prefix perfecto: to any non-Appium desired capability.

Restriction: Cypress integration is currently only available in enterprise clouds.

Perfecto supports the latest minor version of each of the following major Cypress versions: 10, 11, 12, and 13. For more information, see Cypress.

Browser versions

Cypress runs on the same browser versions as Desktop Web (see Device platforms > Desktop Web > Supported platforms), with the exception of Safari. Safari is not supported.

Node.js versions

Cypress runs on Node.js versions 16, 18 and 20. Perfecto uses the latest release for the selected major version.

Node.js 14 is no longer supported.
