🧙‍♂️Creating Tests

This section provides a practical walkthrough, as well as expert tips to help you create effective test prompts using GPT Driver. Let's begin exploring the process together.

After successfully uploading a build file and configuring your device settings, proceed by navigating to the Test Editor, as shown in the screenshots below. This is where your journey begins, crafting your first test prompt.

Creating a New Test

Step 1: Choose Add a new test from the test overview.

Step 2: Choose the build for which you would like to create the test.

Step 3: When you are ready to begin, select 'Add new test!'

Important: Remember to save your test prompt frequently while editing. Exiting the test editor without saving will result in the loss of any recent changes.

There are generally two approaches for creating tests using the GPT Driver Studio:

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

   1. Direct actions on the app

   2. No language model involved

   3. Fast and free

   4. Ideal for stable and predictable parts of your workflow

2. AI Instructions:

   1. Uses large language models (LLMs)

   2. Can interpret and execute complex tasks

   3. Best suited for dynamic or complex scenarios, graphical UI, conditional steps or logic (so we only need 1 test rather than several for different variations of the same flow) and business logic, for example:

      1. dynamic and complex scenario (at the example of an education app with dynamic lesson flows): Complete the lesson until you see a screen that contains either the text "Great Job!" or “n-day streak” scrolling down to see “Continue” button and tapping on one of the "Question" options provided when the “Continue” button is now shown, then select the purple “Start,” “Continue” or “Finish” button.

      2. graphical UI (at the example of a trading app with charts): withVision: Verify that the chart displayed on the trading screen is an area chart, characterized by a continuous line graph with shading beneath the line, and confirm that no candlesticks are visible.

      3. conditional steps or logic (at the example of a randomly appearing marketing popup): Check if "<marketing popup abc>" appears on the screen. If so, tap on it. Otherwise, proceed with the next step

      4. business logic (at the example of a news app): Verify that search results display only articles from the business section

      5. business logic (at the example of a wallet):

         1. withVision: Remember the $ balance on the card in the top of the screen

         2. (...Steps to conduct a transaction...)

         3. withVision: Check that the remembered balance is different from the $ balance on the card in the top of the screen

General Guideline:

• Use Commands for simple, consistent tasks.

• Use AI Instructions for complex or frequently changing tasks.
