CI/CD Integration

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.
