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.

Each step shows its generated code as the sandbox carries out the action live.

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.
