Create tests

Choose a creation mode#

Auto Mode and Manual Mode both produce a test case that follows the same review, preview, and execution workflow afterward — they differ only in how you describe what to test.

Auto Mode#

Describe a testing objective in plain language and Lucius AI explores your application to find the relevant flows.

1. 01

   Start a session

   Open Auto Mode and describe the objective you want tested.

2. 02

   Live exploration

   The agent navigates the application and interacts with the areas relevant to your objective, shown live in the Sandbox.

3. 03

   Review the timeline

   The exploration timeline shows every activity the agent performed, so you can follow how it reached its conclusions.

4. 04

   Review generated scenarios

   The agent proposes scenarios — positive flows, negative validations, and edge cases — based on what it explored.

5. 05

   Create test cases

   Select the scenarios you want, choose a destination folder, and create the test cases.

Manual Mode#

Define the test objective and the exact steps yourself. Lucius AI uses your description to generate the test case.

• Objective — what the test case should validate.
• Priority, Status, Visibility, and Tags.
• Action Steps — the workflow, written as natural-language steps. Reference parameters by their Key.
• Tunnel and Profile — an optional execution environment to use, on Enterprise plans. See Secure tunnels.
• Folder — where the test case is created, defaulting to the Root Folder.

Generate the test case#

Click Generate once your objective and steps (or exploration) are ready. This creates the structured test case — see Preview and refine for when Playwright code is produced.

Importing existing tests#

Already have test cases elsewhere? See Import test cases to bring them in from a CSV file instead of creating them one by one.
