​

1. Give us a URL

We’ll ask for a URL of the application you want to test. The URL has to be publicly accessible. We can test both in staging and in production, as long as we can access the site.

​

2. Name your project

The second page will render a screenshot of the url you provided. We check if it is accessible. You can name your project now. We’ll propose one similar to the url you provided. But you can choose your own.

​

3. Sign up

Now we need to sign you up. Please, give us your email, so we can get in touch.

You should receive a confirmation email that contains a link for you confirm your email and set your password.

​

4. Open the Octomind app for the first time

After being redirected back to app.octomind.dev, you will land on your project overview page.

Create a new test section is highlighted - that’s the place to start.

​

5. Create your first tests

Click on the get started button. A selection of recommended tests will appear.

Our AI Agent has gone through your website, checked what relevant test cases you might want to create first. Select one or refresh to get new recommendations.

Click next.

If the AI Agent finds a required login, it will ask you for test credentials. It will use them to generate and run a login test. It will be added as dependency for other tests. So will be the cookie banner test if one is found.

You can create a login test later. Learn how to create a pre-prompted login test.

​

6. Refine the prompt

We will generate test cases you selected. But first, we need you to review the prompt we prepared. You can instruct the Agent in natural language to change the prompt here, or refine the prompt manually in the next step.

Click generate to add details, rename the test or refine the prompt. When everything is all set, click finalize.

​

7. We generate the test case

We started generating your test case.

It’s possible that the Agent fails to generate a test (here are some reasons why) or needs help with something - the test is highlighed in yellow. This is a step by step guide on how you’ll help the Agent by nudging it in the right direction.

After being generated successfuly, in the right panel, proceed to validation to run it and check whether it’s working properly.

Create more tests using our recommendations, spawn existing tests or prompt new tests from scratch.

​

8. Run tests to check your app for bugs

Once you’ve built your test suite, you can execute your active test cases to check your app for bugs. Every test execution will produce a test report with details of the run and debugging information in case of a failed test.

​

9. Evaluate your test results

Inside each test report, you can find the test results for the executed test cases:

• a green test result indicates a successful test run, meaning that your site passed the test described in the test case
• a red test result indicates a test failure, meaning we could not successfully run the test case steps. These are the possible reasons for failed test.

Click on it to see in which step is broken and diagnose the reason for the failure. If it’s fixable, you can debug it.
