Commands

Closed Beta: The Command-Based Step Execution is currently under development and only available to a selected group of companies. Currently available only for Android, the feature is expected to launch for iOS in Q1 2025. Feedback is highly welcome.

WebView automation through commands currently has limited support. We recommend using natural language (AI) steps for WebViews instead.

The Command-Based Step Execution feature allows for efficient test execution by running commands directly, without initially relying on AI. This approach significantly improves run times and reduces costs. AI is only used as a backup when unexpected elements appear, such as marketing popups, notifications, UI changes, text changes, or missing element IDs.

To get started, check out this Quick Start (3 min): Video walkthrough of the Basics.

We currently support these gestures:

• Tap Command

• Type Command

• scroll Command

• scrollUntilVisible Command

• swipe Command

• slide Command

• wait Command

• assertVisible Command

• openLink Command

• pressBackButton Command

• launchApp Command

• restartApp Command

Distinguishing steps executed using the command-based steps and the LLM/ AI

You can identify command-based steps by opening the step in the execution log and checking the ‘Reasoning from GPT Driver’ If no values are provided, the step was executed without AI assistance and is considered command-based.
