Reports & Output

Every UI test run produces structured output beyond just test code — professional reports, structured data, and documentation for different audiences.

PDF Reports

Professional, formatted reports per workflow with:

• Screenshots — captured at each step of the discovered workflow
• Step-by-step visualizations — visual walkthrough of what was tested
• AI-generated summaries — plain-language descriptions of what each test covers

PDF reports are ready to share with non-technical stakeholders, attach to sprint reviews, or include in client deliverables.

Multi-Language Reports

Reports render correctly in 21+ languages, including right-to-left scripts (Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, Urdu). Configure the report language via USER_LANGUAGE in your .env file.

Supported languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Thai, and more.

Structured Scenario Data

Version-controllable JSON scenario files per workflow — you can edit them and regenerate tests without re-running exploration:

{
  "test_name": "WF001_user_login",
  "workflow_id": "WF001",
  "proposed_scenarios": [
    {
      "scenario_name": "Successful login",
      "detailed_steps": [
        { "action": "navigate", "description": "Go to login page" },
        { "action": "fill", "description": "Enter email address" },
        { "action": "click", "description": "Click Log In button" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
