Question 1

Do I need coding skills to use Test Flows AI?

Accepted Answer

No coding skills required! Test Flows AI is designed to be accessible to everyone. Simply install our Chrome extension, record your interactions, and use our visual timeline editor to build and edit tests. However, if you're comfortable with code, you can export tests as Puppeteer code for advanced customization.

Question 2

How does the Chrome extension work?

Accepted Answer

Our Chrome extension records all user interactions (clicks, typing, navigation, etc.) as you browse your website. Once installed, simply click the record button, perform your test scenario, and stop recording. The extension captures everything automatically and sends it to your dashboard where you can edit and enhance the test flow.

Question 3

What are self-healing locators?

Accepted Answer

Self-healing locators use AI to automatically find elements on your page even when the UI changes. If a CSS selector breaks, our system tries multiple fallback strategies including AI-powered element detection, XPath, and other locator types. This means your tests continue working even when developers update the UI, dramatically reducing maintenance time.

Question 4

Can I schedule tests to run automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can schedule test suites to run automatically at specific times or intervals. This is perfect for regression testing and continuous quality assurance. Schedule daily, weekly, or custom intervals that fit your workflow.

Question 5

How long does it take to automate a UI test?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the flow complexity and how stable your UI is. Simple happy-path flows can be recorded and validated quickly, while complex workflows take longer because you’ll add validations, waits, and edge-case checks. The goal is to reduce time spent writing and maintaining scripts by starting from a recording and refining it into a maintainable test.

Question 6

How does this improve test coverage?

Accepted Answer

By reducing the cost per test. When creating and maintaining tests is faster, teams can automate more scenarios (not just the top 2–3 critical flows). Self-healing locators reduce breakage from UI changes, so your suite stays usable and you can keep expanding coverage instead of constantly repairing scripts.

Question 7

Is Test Flows AI a Selenium alternative?

Accepted Answer

For many teams, yes. Instead of building everything with Selenium code, you can record flows, manage steps visually, and rely on self-healing locator strategies. If you still want code ownership, you can export tests as Puppeteer scripts and integrate them into CI/CD.

Question 8

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We take security seriously. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use industry-standard authentication and authorization. Your test data is private to your account, and we never share it with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for more details.

Question 9

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Getting started is easy! 1) Sign up for a free account, 2) Install our Chrome extension, 3) Record your first test by clicking the record button and interacting with your website, 4) Edit and enhance your test in the visual timeline editor, 5) Run your test and view results. The whole process takes just a few minutes!

Question 10

What browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

Currently, our Chrome extension works with Google Chrome. Test execution runs on headless Chrome via Puppeteer, which ensures consistent and reliable test runs. We're working on support for other browsers in future updates.

Question 11

Is it really free? What's the catch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's completely free during our beta period with no hidden costs. We're currently in MVP/beta phase and offering free access to all users. There's no credit card required, no trial period, and no usage limits. We may introduce paid plans in the future, but beta users will always have access to a generous free tier.

Question 12

Can I export my tests?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can export your tests as production-ready Puppeteer code. This allows you to integrate tests into your CI/CD pipeline, customize them further, or run them independently of our platform.

Question 13

What happens if a test fails?

Accepted Answer

When a test fails, you'll receive detailed failure reports with screenshots at the point of failure. Our self-healing locators will attempt to recover automatically. If recovery isn't possible, you'll get clear error messages and element information to help you fix the test quickly.

Question 14

Can I test mobile websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can configure screen dimensions and device pixel ratios to test mobile-responsive websites. Our test execution engine supports various screen sizes, allowing you to verify your website works correctly on different devices.

Question 15

How accurate are the AI locators?

Accepted Answer

Our AI locators use advanced machine learning to identify elements based on multiple attributes including text content, visual appearance, position, and context. They achieve high accuracy and include fallback strategies to ensure tests remain stable even when UI changes occur.
