HiTest QA Agent
Use the project assistant to explore, find issues, create coverage, and run checks.
HiTest QA Agent is the assistant inside each project. Open AI QA Agent, then choose a shortcut or describe a testing task in chat. The assistant opens an interactive tool card for the current project.
Choose a task
| Shortcut | What happens | What you save or review |
|---|---|---|
| Generate test cases | HiTest explores the website in a real browser. | Editable Test Case drafts; select and click Create to save. |
| Find issues | HiTest tests workflows directly without requiring saved Test Cases. | Editable Issue drafts; select and click Create to save. |
| Record test cases | Perform a workflow in Live View, or upload a video. | Test Case drafts generated from the recording. |
| Import test cases | Upload an Excel workbook for analysis. | Test Case drafts extracted from cell text. |
| Run test case | Select a saved case and choose background execution or Live View. | A saved Run link for background execution, or an inline Live View result. |
| Run test plan | Select a saved plan and run it in the background. | A saved Run with individual case results. |
Start from a request
Examples:
- “Generate test cases for cart quantity changes and removing items.”
- “Find issues in signup validation. Do not purchase a subscription.”
- “Record test cases from a video.”
- “Import test cases from Excel.”
- “Run a test case with Live View.”
- “Run a test plan.”
The card collects the final settings. Select the exact saved case or plan in the Run card, then click Run. For discovery, choose an optional Test Account, Proxy settings, and Scope, then click Start. A chat request opens setup; it does not bypass these controls.
Scope and Test Accounts
For Generate test cases and Find issues, Scope is optional and editable. Explicit instructions in chat prefill it. Leaving it empty asks HiTest to cover reachable pages and distinct workflows across the project, within account access and execution limits. A focused scope is useful when you want to check a particular area.
Choose the Test Account in the setup selector; you can also create one there. Manage existing accounts on the project's Test Accounts page. Chat text does not select or switch accounts. Keep passwords and authenticator secrets in Test Account fields. With no account selected, discovery checks the reachable public experience.
Saved-case runs use that case's linked Test Account and Proxy configuration. Uploaded video analysis and Excel import do not open a browser or sign in to your application.
Review before saving
Generate, Record, and Import produce drafts. Review their names, preconditions, ordered actions, expected results, priority, and status, and confirm the available account/folder settings before selecting Create. Excel imports initially have no account or Proxy; configure those on saved cases when needed. A generated case is proposed coverage; run it to verify its behavior.
Find issues produces reports with reproduction steps, expected and actual results, and priority. Review and create only the findings you want to track. An interrupted discovery task may still provide drafts worth reviewing. Read any incomplete-scope or blocker notice alongside them. No findings means no confirmed issues in the workflows actually checked.
Background execution and Live View
Run test case defaults to a background run. It creates a Run and returns Run created. View so you can inspect the persisted result later. Test Plans always run in the background.
For a single case, turn on Live view to watch the browser and stop the task from its card. This adds a Live View credit charge and returns an inline result. This mode does not create a Runs history entry, a Run-linked Issue, or the background Run recording and notifications. Use background execution when you need that saved evidence.
Discovery and live recording also use Live View, with its cost included in the bundled action. See credits and plan limits.
Conversation controls
Collapse the panel to make room for the project page. New chat clears the current conversation and stops its active browser segment. Save useful drafts before clearing or leaving the conversation; chat and unsaved drafts are not a saved test library. Starting a new exploration or issue-discovery task begins a new task; it does not resume an earlier one.
The assistant helps with HiTest and software testing for your product. Use the project's forms to configure Test Plans, notification rules, project settings, and account management. The current agent tools launch the six workflows above.
