Core Concepts

Tests and Steps

A test is a sequence of steps. Each step is one action: navigate to a URL, click an element, fill a field, assert text, and so on. Tests can be created visually in the test editor, by recording a browser session in the desktop app, or by importing a Playwright spec file.

Projects and Branches

Tests belong to a project. Each project has one or more branches, which version the test content independently—similar to git branches.

Organizations

All resources (projects, tests, secrets, API keys) belong to an organization. Every member has one of three roles: Member, Admin, or Owner. See Roles and Permissions.
