Test Plans into Automation without Recording or Coding
Testing Taxi takes manual test plans and creates a test robot that completes your tests in a fraction of the time.
No coding or recording required.
Integrate into your CI/CD, run on a schedule or trigger manually.
Testing Taxi
1. Create your plan
Copy a plan from your User Story, Acceptance Criteria or create your own test plan.
2. Load your Robot
Click the “Load Robot” and Testing Taxi will run through the test slowly one time to setup your robot. Preview the specific instructions the robot has come up with based on your test plan.
3. Get Results
Run your robots whenever you’d like and get full testing reports. Look at the summary metrics or dig into the details. Run details include screenshots, step by step instructions and debug information!
UI Changes, no problem!
When your app changes, you don’t need to re-write your test plans. Even if the UI has completely changed. Simply reload your robot and your tests continue to work!
How it works
Since our “Load Robot” is effectively exploring your app like a human, it’s able to apply your instructions to any context. If the instructions still make sense with the UI, it can reload your robot and you’re off to the races!
This isn’t one of those weird magic locator or image comparison things.

FAQ
Test run times are similar to code tests. Your robot has been pre-loaded with instructions, it’s able to respond immediately. Most of the testing time is spent waiting for your app to respond and load the next interface.
- Test steps are written in plain English and offer a wide variety of freedom. You can give highly specific and complex instructions or generic and vague instructions.
