Quick Start
Your first AI-powered test in 5 minutes.
What you need
- Lama desktop app (download)
- Chrome extension installed (install guide)
- A web app you want to test
Steps
Open Lama and create a project
Launch the Lama desktop app. Create a new project and choose your test framework (Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium). If you already have an existing test project, open that folder instead.
Open your app in Chrome
Navigate to the web app you want to test in Chrome. Click the Lama extension icon in the toolbar to open the side panel. You should see it connect to the desktop app automatically.
Describe your test
In the agent chat panel, describe what you want to test in plain language. Be specific about what the app should do and what you expect to happen.
Watch the agent work
The agent will navigate your app, interact with elements, and generate test code. You can see every action it takes in real time in the chat panel. When it's done, it writes the test file to your project.
Run your test
Click the play button next to your test in the sidebar, or ask the agent to run it. Lama will execute the test and show you the results directly in the app.
Tips for your first test
- Start with something simple, like a login flow or form submission
- Make sure the extension side panel is open on the tab you want to test
- If the agent gets stuck, give it more context about your app's layout or flow
