Test

A test is a saved browser flow: an ordered set of actions plus optional validations that Rima can replay.

This reference explains the term, its purpose, a practical example, common use cases, where it appears in Rima, and the closest product visual.

Definition

A test is a saved browser flow: an ordered set of actions plus optional validations that Rima can replay.

What it is for

A test turns a repeatable user journey into something Rima can execute on demand, on a schedule, in the cloud, or from your computer.

How it works

  • Record a flow once with the browser extension; every click, keystroke, and navigation becomes an ordered recorded step.
  • Saved tests live inside a project, where you can rename them, edit step values, insert or delete steps, and add validations.
  • Run a test on demand, in a group, on a schedule, or from the local runner CLI; each execution creates a run with its own evidence.
  • Tests can be enabled or disabled, grouped into suites, and chained with Run Before dependencies.

Example

A “Customer login” test opens the login page, types an email and password, submits the form, and validates that the dashboard appears.

Common use cases

  • Check a critical user journey after a deployment.
  • Reuse login before other tests.
  • Run regression checks on a schedule.
  • Reproduce a reported browser problem.

Where to find it

Record tests with the browser extension and manage them inside a project.

Limitations, requirements, and permissions

  • Recording requires the browser extension connected with an extension token and a verified account.
  • Only enabled tests can be selected for runs, groups, and schedules.
  • Plans can cap recording length; when the timer runs out the extension stops and saves the test automatically.
  • Deleting a test cannot be undone from the interface.
