- Test results: Step by step report of each test automation is provided including screen shots, performance and network data, any crashes are automatically identified
- Performance: UI load time for each screen is tracked and if a threshold is setup, it can identify regressions without using additional tools
- Network analysis: Both inbound and outbound network traffic is monitored during each test action performed by Sofy
