Test Flow View

The Test Flow view displays details of a custom flow test. This view is only available for custom flow tests; it is not available at the plan level. The view shows all the steps in the custom flow test with an image of the website or application at each stage.

Click on a step in the test to view a screenshot. Click on the screenshot to view a larger version.

If a step is a UI Validation step (indicated by a icon), you can use the Action and Outcome buttons to view the screen before and after the screenshot was taken. If the step is unresolved, there is a link to the Test Analyzer where you can review and accept or reject diffs.

If a step failed, a icon is displayed at the step that failed, and no further steps are processed.

Troubleshooting for Failed Steps in Custom Flow

When a Custom Flow test step fails, you can use Troubleshooting mode from the Test Flow view in the Results page or while reviewing step results during test authoring to compare the current run with the last successful run and understand the cause of the failure.

This comparison enables faster root cause analysis and reduces troubleshooting time.

Failed Steps​

For each failed step, the platform displays:

  • A screenshot from the last successful run

  • A side-by-side comparison between the current failed run and the previous successful run

When a Step Fails​

You can access Troubleshooting mode in several ways:

  • Clicking the step from the Issues & Changes view navigates directly to the failed step.
  • Clicking the failure summary at the top of the Test Flow view navigates directly to the failed step.
  • From the step execution results during test authoring.

In addition:

  • You can manually enable the Troubleshooting toggle for any step while authoring a test.
  • You can manually enable the Troubleshooting toggle for any step from the Test Flow view in the Results page.

What You Can Do in Troubleshooting Mode​

You can:

  • Zoom into screenshot comparison
  • Use navigation arrows to move between steps
  • Review previous steps to identify where the issue originated
  • Open the last successful run in a new tab

Navigating between steps helps you determine whether the issue occurs in the failed step itself or was caused by an earlier change in the flow.

Additional Test Artifacts​

For each Custom Flow test, the following artifacts are always available, regardless of test status:

  • Download console logs
  • Play the recorded test video

These options are surfaced at the top of the Test Flow view in the Results page, enabling users to review run details at any time, particularly when investigating failed test runs.
