TestOwlNavigating TestOwl
Take a quick tour of the TestOwl interface before you start building and running automated tests.
Everything you build in TestOwl belongs to a project (see Creating a Project). Once you open a project, the left navigation menu gives you access to every major feature, from creating tests to reviewing execution results.
Main navigation
| Section | What you'll find there |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | A high-level view of your project's health, including pass-rate trends, execution trends, environment coverage, and recent test activity. See Dashboard. |
| Home | The fastest way to start creating a new test. Enter the URL of your web application and click Record to launch the Recorder and begin capturing a new test case. |
| Test Suites | Organise related test cases into suites for easier management and execution. See Test Suites. |
| Tests | Browse every test case in your project from one searchable list, regardless of which suite it belongs to. See Test Cases. |
| Run History | View every test execution, including its status, duration, environment, and execution time. Open any run to inspect its detailed report. See Run History. |
| Flows | Manage reusable groups of steps that can be shared across multiple test cases. See Flows. |
| Import Tests | Import existing automated tests from Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, WebdriverIO, Puppeteer, and other supported frameworks. See Import Wizard. |
| Environments | Configure where and how your tests run, including browsers, devices, locales, network conditions, and other runtime settings. See Environments. |
| Data Config | Manage project-wide Variables and Secrets that can be reused across your tests instead of hardcoding values. See Variables and Secrets. |
| Settings | Configure project settings such as masking rules, project information, plan usage, tags, user management, and team invitations. See Masking Rules, Plans & Usage, Tags, and Inviting Team Members. |
| Feedback | Send suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, or general feedback directly to the TestOwl team. See Sending Feedback. |
Desktop App required for recording
Recording tests requires the TestOwl Desktop App. If it isn't installed yet, click Download App from the sidebar and complete the installation before starting your first recording.
Working with projects
You can belong to multiple projects. Each project is completely independent and has its own:
- Test Suites and Test Cases
- Flows
- Environments
- Variables and Secrets
- Run History and Reports
- Team members and permissions
- Project settings
Use the Project Switcher at the top of the sidebar to switch between projects at any time.
Explore the Sample Demo Project
Every account includes a read-only Sample Demo Project filled with example test suites, flows, environments, and execution history. It's a great way to explore TestOwl and understand how a real project is organised before creating your own.
Learn more in Creating a Project.
