## Test Execution and Result Reporting

### Ability to choose different device providers for Web vs. Mobile

You can now choose different external device providers for Web and Mobile automation when setting up your Agent. This allows the flexibility for the Agent to point to an external device provider for Mobile tests, while the browser tests can run locally on your machine. In addition to ACCELQ Cloud Lab, you can integrate with Browser Stack, Sauce Labs, or Perfect Mobile at this point.

### Result Purge is now a Role-based permission

Privilege to allow purging of test results is now part of the [User Role](https://support.accelq.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007111531) definition. Prior to this Release, Project Admin privilege was required to allow purging of results.

### Completely revamped defect creation flow

This Release brings a major overhaul of defect creation flow from test results. In addition to UI/UX updates, you will also find capabilities to select screenshots from thumbnails, add custom fields, maintain traceability notes, etc. Here is the [updated article](https://support.accelq.com/hc/en-us/articles/115007532207) with full details.

### Report Statement detailed zoom-in

Test report formatting and display are further enhanced with the introduction of Statement zoom-in. This allows you to explore the full details of a statement while reviewing the test result. This may be helpful while you are troubleshooting a failure or sometimes to understand more about the nature of the logic that was executed as part of the test. You will also find complete details of Self-healing, element-troubleshooting, etc.

Simply click the “info” icon you find on the hover.

### Comprehensive overhaul of self-healing

Element self-healing is improved significantly in terms of the breadth and accuracy of detection. Several new algorithmic steps are now added to enhance the outcome when an element undergoes changes. Reporting of self-healing activity is also improved to clearly show the underlying change in the application.

When you login to ACCELQ for the first time on this Release, you are prompted to update and resynch the self-healing data. This step thoroughly analyzes your project artifacts to build multi-dimensional seed data. This is only a one-time activity.

Note that you are required to have Project Admin privilege to kick off this process.
