Core Concepts

In Autonomous, tests are organized around a few core concepts. Each one represents a distinct part of how tests are created and managed. This section will guide you through each of these key ideas.

  • Applications

    An application represents an AUT (application under test). This groups all tests that belong to the same website, application, or department that should be managed together.

  • Tests

    A test takes screenshots of all or selected pages in your website in different browsers and devices, and uses those images as a baseline.

  • Plans

    A plan allows you to run one or more test together using the same environments and schedule.

  • Browsers & devices

    Browsers and devices represent virtual browser settings or mobile devices that the test should run on.
