Understand the Test Suite
A tour of the suite: a group's readiness at a glance, then one feature's Gherkin, the Playwright code generated from it, and its run history.
The Test Suite is the main place to create, organize, generate, and run TestVibe tests for the selected project.
It shows your test groups on the left and details for the selected group or feature on the right.
What The Suite Contains
| Item | What it means |
|---|---|
| Group | A folder-like area for related features, such as Auth, Billing, or Admin. |
| Feature file | A .feature file that describes behavior in Gherkin. |
| Scenario | A concrete user behavior inside a feature. |
| Generated code | Playwright code created from the feature intent. |
| Generation status | Whether a feature is ready, generating, failed, or needs attention. |
| Run status | Recent execution status when test results are available. |
In your project, feature files usually live under Features/. A group often maps to a folder such as Features/Auth/.
Group View
When you select a group, TestVibe shows a group overview with the features in that area.
From a group, you can usually:
- add a feature
- import feature files
- run the group
- open a feature
- delete selected features when you have permission
- review group readiness and recent activity
Use groups to keep the suite readable. A group should be meaningful to the team, not just a technical folder.
Feature View
When you select a feature, TestVibe shows details for that specific test intent.
Depending on the feature state, you may see:
| Area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Overview | Summary, file path, status, and available actions. |
| Editor | The Gherkin source for the feature. |
| Generation | Live or historical generation progress. |
| Code | Generated Playwright code when available. |
| Results | Recent run evidence when the feature has been executed. |
Status In The Suite
Status helps you decide what to do next:
| Status idea | What to do |
|---|---|
| Draft or editable | Review and improve the Gherkin before generation. |
| Generating | Wait for TestVibe to finish or inspect live progress. |
| Ready to test | Run the generated Playwright test. |
| Failed generation | Open generation details and fix the input or setup. |
| Failed run | Review results and decide whether the test or application needs changes. |
How To Use The Suite Well
- Keep groups aligned with product areas or user journeys.
- Use feature names that a teammate can understand without opening the file.
- Keep scenarios focused and reviewable.
- Regenerate code when Gherkin intent changes meaningfully.
- Use run results to improve both the app and the test intent.
