Core concepts
Preview and refine
Work in the live execution window: generate Playwright code, watch it run, and refine each step.
Work in a browser sandbox#
Preview opens the execution workspace for a test case: the generated steps on one side, and a live browser sandbox on the other.
The execution window#
- Test Steps panel — every step in order, with its status and controls to select, reorder, delete, or group steps into a module.
- Execution controls — Generate and Run (see below), plus Add to suite and Save Profile.
- Live VNC environment — the real-time browser view, with controls for the active tunnel, browser profile, viewport resolution, and Record for capturing manual interactions as new steps.
- Code Editor — the generated Playwright for the current execution, plus a Console for execution output.
- Parameters — run the test case with parameters where applicable.
- Run History — previous executions of this test case.
Refine steps#
- Edit instructions when generated behavior does not match the intent.
- Record interactions directly from the VNC browser to add new steps.
- Reorder or remove steps to keep the flow focused.
- Inspect and edit generated code when exact control is needed.
- Select steps and turn them into a reusable module.
The underlying concepts#
- Sandbox — the isolated browser environment where every interaction runs, visible in real time without touching your local browser.
- Run Summary — a high-level overview of a completed execution: overall status and key metrics, and the entry point into the full results.
Save a stable flow#
Run the full sequence after editing individual steps. Confirm that navigation, selectors, and assertions still behave correctly together before adding the case to a suite.
