Test Run Instance View

Early Access

This feature is currently being rolled out in phases and may not be available on all accounts. If you do not see the New View badge on your test instances, your account has not been enabled yet.

The Test Run Instance view provides a step-level execution replay that maps each executed action back to the original steps authored in KaneAI. Instead of reviewing raw automation logs, you can walk through the exact sequence of steps - with screenshots, command details, and failure context - in a single unified interface.

Test Run Summary Dashboard

When you open a test run, the summary dashboard gives you an at-a-glance view of the entire run.

Test instances with the New View badge support the enhanced instance view described below.

Test Instance Detail View

Click on any test instance to open the detailed execution view. The page is divided into three main areas: the Steps Panel on the left, the Screenshot/Video Panel in the center, and the Inspector Panel on the right.

Execution Metadata

The top bar displays key information about the test instance:

Status - Passed or Failed indicator
Duration - Total execution time
Configurations - Browser version, OS, and resolution
Version - Test case version used for this execution
Executed by - The user or scheduler that triggered the run
Test Case ID - Link back to the original test case
Labels - Associated job and task identifiers

For failed tests, a banner prompts you to Generate RCA (Root Cause Analysis) or View failed step to jump directly to the point of failure.

Steps Panel

The left panel lists every step that was executed, mapped back to the original steps authored in KaneAI. Each step shows:

The action type (click, assert, set variable, execute JavaScript, navigate, scroll, etc.)
The execution duration for that step
A pass/fail indicator (green dot for passed, red dot for failed, gray for skipped)
Variable values and assertion results inline

Steps that include sub-actions - such as loops, conditionals, or JavaScript snippets - are expandable to reveal the full execution detail.

Autoplay Steps

Click the Autoplay Steps button at the top of the steps panel to automatically walk through each step in sequence. As each step is highlighted, the center panel updates to show the corresponding screenshot captured during execution. This provides a visual replay of the entire test execution without needing to click through each step manually.

Screenshot and Video Panel

The center panel shows a screenshot of the application under test at the point when the selected step was executed. You can toggle between:

Screenshot view - A static capture of the page at that step
Video view - A recorded video of the execution

At the bottom of the panel, a step progress bar displays colored dots representing each step - green for passed, red for failed. Click any dot to jump directly to that step.

Hovering over a dot shows a preview tooltip with the step number and action name.

Compare Original Screenshot

Click Compare original screenshot above the screenshot panel to open a side-by-side comparison of:

Original while authoring - The screenshot captured when the test was first authored in KaneAI
Current execution screenshot - The screenshot from this execution run

This helps you identify UI changes, layout shifts, or missing elements that may have caused a test failure - especially useful when a test that previously passed starts failing after a UI update.

Debugging Failed Tests

When a test instance fails, the view highlights the failure clearly so you can diagnose the issue quickly.

The failed step is highlighted with a red border and shows the assertion result (e.g., "Assertion False").
Steps after the failure are grayed out, indicating they were not executed.
The screenshot panel shows the state of the application at the exact moment of failure.
Click View failed step in the top banner to jump directly to the failure point.
Click Generate RCA to trigger an AI-powered root cause analysis that examines the failure context and suggests probable causes.

Command Logs

Click the panel toggle on the right side to open the All Commands tab. This panel shows every low-level command that was executed during the test, grouped by step.

Each command group is expandable and shows:

Command type - Execute JavaScript, Command, HTTP request, etc.
Duration - Time taken for each individual command
Timestamp - Exact execution time
Script content - For JavaScript commands, the script that was executed

Use the Search Commands bar to find specific commands, or filter using the View dropdown to narrow by command type.

Execution Logs

The right panel provides multiple log tabs for in-depth debugging:

Framework - Logs from the test framework used during execution
Console - Browser console output captured during the test
Device - Device-level logs (useful for mobile test instances)
Network - Network request and response details
HyperExecute - Raw HyperExecute execution logs including runtime information such as network idle times, DOM load events, and script execution output

Additionally, the following tabs are available for extended analysis:

SmartUI - Visual regression testing results
Performance - Performance metrics captured during execution
Accessibility - Accessibility audit results for the tested pages

You can dock the logs panel to the right or bottom of the screen depending on your preference.

Navigate Between Tests

Click the View tests button in the top-right corner to open a panel listing all test instances in the current test run. This panel lets you:

Search for specific tests by name
Filter by status - view only failed, passed, or stopped tests
Switch between tests without navigating back to the test run listing

Execute Test Runs on HyperExecute - Create and execute test runs
Sequential Test Runs - Run dependent test cases in order
Test Run Configurations - Manage browser and device configurations
Scheduled Test Runs - Automate test run scheduling
