TestVibe Terms

TermMeaning
ArtifactA file produced by a run, such as screenshots, videos, traces, logs, or reports.
AutomationA trigger that starts runs on a cron schedule or an external event, with its own site URL, groups, and configurations.
Cloud test sessionThe hardware-isolated sandbox allocated for each run. Prepared automatically — no infrastructure to install.
CreditsTestVibe's usage unit. AI tokens and run session time are metered in credits; see Settings → Billing and Settings → Credit Usage.
FeatureA Gherkin .feature file that describes behavior in user-readable scenarios.
GenerationThe AI cloud agent that creates or updates feature files or Playwright test code. Metered in credits.
GroupA folder or collection used to organize related tests.
JourneyA user flow through your app, described by a feature and proven by its generated test. Load tests replay journeys in parallel.
Learned App FactSelector-free application behavior TestVibe's agents discover automatically while driving your app — control quirks, timing, DOM shape. Captured as tests generate and expire when the app changes. Reviewable (read-only aside from delete) in Settings → Notes.
Load testA k6-based run that replays journeys under a load profile (virtual users, duration, ramp-up), dispatched to a cloud load fleet.
MemberA person who belongs to a workspace, with a role of Owner, Admin, Member, or Viewer. Managed in Settings → Members.
NoteDurable instructions you or the assistant write about your app — login quirks, navigation structure, domain vocabulary — injected into every generation. Editable in Settings → Notes.
PluginPackaged steps you can call from Gherkin after installing them from the Plugins section.
ProjectAn application under test, created with a name and the site URL(s) to test. All project content lives in TestVibe's cloud.
RunOne execution of selected tests against a site URL inside a cloud test session.
ScenarioOne example of behavior in a feature file, written as steps such as Given, When, and Then.
SecretAn encrypted, write-only value in Settings → Variables & Secrets, referenced from Gherkin as {{secret:NAME}}.
TestA runnable Playwright test or a TestVibe test item in the suite.
Test SuiteThe organized tree of groups, features, and tests for a project.
Tunnel deviceA machine inside your network running the tvtunnel agent so cloud test sessions can reach private apps. Managed in Settings → Tunnels.
VariableA plain configuration value in Settings → Variables & Secrets, referenced from Gherkin as {{var:NAME}}.
WorkspaceThe container that owns projects, members, billing, credits, and storage. Every user gets a personal workspace and can create or join team workspaces; switch the active one from the header. Billing, plan, and credits belong to the workspace.
