Run a Group

Run every generated test in a group to validate a feature area, workflow, or related set of scenarios.

Run a group when you want more coverage than a single scenario without executing the entire suite. Groups are useful for smoke checks around one feature area, such as sign-in, checkout, billing, onboarding, or admin workflows.

Before you start

Make sure the group contains generated Playwright tests. TestVibe can select Gherkin feature files, but a run can only execute tests that have runnable Playwright code.

Also confirm:

Item	What to check
Site URL	The URL should point to the environment you want the group to test.
Shared setup	Tests in the group should agree on login state, seed data, and dependencies.
Run configuration	Choose the browser and viewport combination you want to validate.
Site access	The cloud test session must be able to reach the target site; use a tunnel device for private apps.

Run from Features

1. Open Features.

2. Select the group you want to run.

3. Choose the group run action.

4. Review the selected tests.

5. Confirm the Environment.

6. Select one or more Run Configurations.

7. Start the run.

When TestVibe opens the run form from a group, the tests in that group are preselected so you can confirm the scope before starting.

Run from Runs

1. Open Runs.

2. Select New Run.

3. Check the group in the test list.

4. Add or remove individual tests if you need to adjust the scope.

5. Under Environment, pick the environment to run against (or a Custom URL).

6. Select one or more Run Configurations.

7. Start the run.

Checking a group selects its child runnable tests. Clearing the group removes those tests from the run selection.

Review grouped results

After the run starts, the run details page shows live progress and then the final results. Use the grouped result rows to answer three questions:

Question	Where to look
Did the feature area pass?	Overall run status and pass/fail counts.
Which scenario failed?	Failed test rows in the Tests tab.
Why did it fail?	Screenshots, videos, traces, console output, and network details.

For a larger validation pass, see Run the full suite.
