Running tests

Click Run on a test to run it in TestBrick’s cloud browsers. You can watch the run live, and the result lands on the test’s Runs tab.

The result

Open a run from the Runs tab to see:
  • Passed / failed and how many steps passed
  • The recording of the whole run
  • Each step with its time and a picture of the page
  • Errors on the page — console and network errors the app logged (a run can pass even when the page logs background errors; they’re shown folded away)
A passing run Use Copy Link to share the run, or Full View to open the full result page. See Sharing results.

Why it failed

A failed run opens with a short, plain-English reason at the top — which step, what went wrong, and what the app said when it said something. Why it failed Common reasons: When there’s a likely fix, a button offers it right there — for example Make step 4 unique each run when the app says a value “already exists”, Delete step 6 when a step is a leftover repeat, or Rebuild this test when the page changed a lot. Nothing changes until you click.

Help during runs

If a step can’t find what it needs — a button moved, a pop-up got in the way — TestBrick can use AI to get that step through, and the result says so (“needed help”). This uses a few AI credits; a normal run that needs no help uses none. A run never marks something green just because it got through: if the end checks don’t pass, the run is red.
