Set up Test-Lab.ai and run your first AI-powered test in minutes

Getting Started

Get up and running with Test-Lab.ai in under 5 minutes. This guide walks you through creating your first project, writing a test plan, and running your first AI-powered test.

Prerequisites

  • A web application to test (can be localhost, staging, or production)
  • A Test-Lab.ai account (sign up free)

Step 1: Create a Project

Projects organize your test plans and track results for a specific application.

  1. Go to the Dashboard
  2. Click Projects in the sidebar
  3. Click Create Project
  4. Enter your project details:
    • Name: A descriptive name (e.g., "My SaaS App")
    • URL: Your application's base URL (e.g., https://myapp.com)

The URL is optional but recommended - it gets automatically prepended to your test prompts.

Step 2: Create a Test Plan

Test plans are natural language descriptions of what to test.

  1. Navigate to Test Plans
  2. Click Create Test Plan
  3. Write your test in plain English:
Go to the homepage and verify:
1. The navigation menu is visible
2. The "Sign Up" button exists and is clickable
3. Clicking "Sign Up" shows the registration form
4. The form has email and password fields

Be specific about what you want to verify. Include expected behaviors and acceptance criteria.

Step 3: Run Your Test

  1. Find your test plan in the list
  2. Click the Run button
  3. Choose a test mode:
    • Quick - Fast feedback (~2-3 min)
    • Deep - Thorough testing (~5-8 min)

The AI agent will:

  • Navigate to your site
  • Execute each step
  • Take screenshots
  • Verify acceptance criteria
  • Generate a detailed report

Step 4: Review Results

Once complete, you'll see:

  • Pass/Fail Status - Overall test result
  • Step-by-Step Breakdown - What the agent did at each step
  • Screenshots - Visual evidence for each action
  • Issues Found - Any problems detected with severity ratings
