Getting started

Create your first test case with Auto Mode, then execute it and watch Lucius AI generate real Playwright code.

Before you begin#

You need a Lucius AI account with access to an organization and project. If you were invited to an existing workspace, accept the invitation during onboarding instead of creating a new organization — see Signing in for the full flow.

Choose a creation mode#

Auto Mode is the fastest way to get started — give Lucius AI a URL and what to test, and it explores your application live to build the test itself. Manual Mode is also available if you'd rather write the steps yourself. See Create tests for the full comparison — the steps below use Auto Mode.

Create your first test case#

  1. 01

    Open Test Cases

    Select your organization and project, then go to Test Management → Test Cases.

  2. 02

    Start a new test case

    Click Create Test Case. Auto Mode is selected by default.

  3. 03

    Describe what to test

    Give Lucius AI a URL and what to test, then submit.

  4. 04

    Watch the live exploration

    Lucius AI explores your app live in the sandbox and builds the test as it goes — use the chat interface to steer or clarify along the way.

  5. 05

    Review and create

    Check the exploration timeline and the proposed scenarios, then select the ones you want, choose a destination folder, and create the test case.

Execute your first test case#

  1. 01

    Open Preview

    From the test case, click Preview to open the execution workspace. The sandbox connects automatically.

  2. 02

    Review the steps

    Check the generated test steps on the left before running them. Edit anything that needs adjusting.

  3. 03

    Generate and run

    Click Generate. Lucius AI processes each step in order — generating Playwright code, running it in the live browser sandbox, and capturing before-and-after screenshots — while the preview updates in real time.

Steps execute one by one while the sandbox shows the live result.
