AI-Powered Test Creation

Overview

Rainforest gives you three ways to create tests with AI, each one designed to reduce the time you spend writing and maintaining test steps manually.

AI Test Generation takes a plain-English prompt and turns it into a full draft test. Give it a goal like "add a new user and assign them the admin role" and Rainforest spins up a virtual machine, navigates your app, and writes the steps for you. You review and refine the output in the Visual Editor before running it.
Self-Healing Snippets are blocks of steps generated from a plain-English prompt that live inside your test as a snippet. If any step in that block fails during a run, Rainforest automatically tries to regenerate the steps and self-heal. If it succeeds, your test is updated automatically with no manual fix required.
AI Actions are individual step types you can add anywhere in a test. AI Assertion answers a yes/no question based on what's currently visible on screen, useful for dynamic content that's hard to screenshot-match. AI Search takes a plain-English description of an element, finds it on screen, and performs whatever action you've selected, acting as a fallback when standard targeting isn't reliable enough.

AI generation works best when:

You're testing a workflow you can describe in plain text
You want a starting point quickly and plan to review and refine the generated steps
You're creating multiple tests in parallel and don't want to write each one from scratch

It works less well when:

Your test requires complex conditional logic, since the generator writes steps for what it sees on screen and can't anticipate the counterfactual scenario
Your workflow has app-specific behavior that isn't obvious from the UI, in which case add context to your site rules or prompt before generating
