INTRODUCTION: WHY PERFECTO 25.14 MATTERS FOR ENTERPRISE SDLC LEADERS
Perfecto 25.14 focuses on areas that directly affect enterprise delivery risk. This release strengthens mobile and web automation coverage, clarifies platform lifecycle timelines, and improves governance and traceability for testing work.
For organizations running large Quality Engineering, DevOps, and DevSecOps programs, the value lies in predictability. Playwright support on Android, scalable scriptless testing on virtual devices, clearer Appium 1 deprecation milestones, safer Quantum updates, and current OS and browser coverage all reduce uncertainty in release planning.
Merito helps enterprises adopt these changes in a controlled way, without introducing disruption across active delivery pipelines.
PLAYWRIGHT SUPPORT FOR ANDROID IN PERFECTO CLOUD
Perfecto now supports running Playwright tests on Android devices in the cloud. Android support is currently experimental, but it already enables reuse of existing Playwright scripts for mobile validation.
Enterprise value and risk considerations
- Reduces framework sprawl by extending Playwright across web and Android
- Improves consistency of test coverage across customer journeys
- Lowers long term maintenance cost by sharing test logic
- Reduces gaps between web and mobile regression ownership
Operational impact for teams
- Web automation teams can validate Android flows without building device labs
- CI pipelines can gate changes on both browser and Android validation
- Developers work within a single framework rather than switching tools
Merito helps enterprises define where Playwright on Android fits within their broader mobile testing strategy and governance model.
