First steps
Generate your first tests and run them. Find bugs in your app before your user does.
1. Give us a URL
We’ll ask for a URL to create test cases. 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.

Our AI agent might be still going through your website, checking if there is a cookie banner and a required login functionality that need to be tested.
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.
These credentials are only usable for username/password logins not for social logins. Login using your Google, Facebook, etc. account will not work.

5. Discover more test cases
Here comes the really cool part. You can let the AI agent browse through your site to discover and generate more tests. Click on discover
.
![AI discovery button, screenshot 07/2024](https://mintlify.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/octomind/images/setup/setup-6-discover.png)
Clicking this button will let our AI agent discover test cases, screenshot 07/2024
When it’s done, the AI agent will let you know. You will find your tests on the test cases
page.

6. View your AI auto-generated test cases
You should have your first active test cases generated. The AI agent has discovered the test cases, it auto-generated the test steps and has run them to validate whether they work.
They are on
which means they will run once you trigger a test report.

If the agent stumbled over a test step, you might have to lend a hand to review and edit a test step.

7. Test your website for the first time
Once you have active test cases - they are on, you can run them. Create your first test report. Click on run all
button and then run in app
and see if they found a bug.

8. See your first test results
You have created your first test report, congratulations! If your test is red we will pinpoint you to step in the app that is broken. Find out more about test reports and debugging your tests.

9. Create more tests
You can grow your test suite by adding more test cases. Prompt our AI agent or use the test recorder to create new ones.
