Testing Capabilities
Pie offers a comprehensive suite of automated tests designed to cover your application from end to end. With over 25 distinct test types, our AI can autonomously achieve up to 80% E2E test coverage for most apps, right out of the box. Explore the full range of our automated testing capabilities in the table below.
Table: Pie’s Automated Test Types
| Category | Test Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery & Exploration | Automatic App Crawling | Systematically discovers all screens, features, and hidden functionalities to build a comprehensive map of the application. |
| Dynamic Element Detection | Identifies all interactive UI elements, including buttons, forms, dropdowns, modals, and tooltips. | |
| User Path Mapping | Documents all possible user journeys and navigation flows to understand how a user interacts with the app from start to finish. | |
| Feature Prioritization | Automatically ranks application features based on their inferred criticality and usage patterns to focus testing on high-impact areas. | |
| Functional Testing | Form Validation & Submission | Verifies multi-step forms, input validation (e.g., email format, required fields), and correct error state handling. |
| Authentication & Authorization | Tests login/logout flows, session validity, password resets, OTPs, and role-based access controls to ensure secure user access. | |
| Data CRUD Operations | Validates Create, Read, Update, and Delete functionality to ensure data is handled correctly throughout the application. | |
| File Upload/Download | Confirms that users can successfully upload and download files and that the application handles different file types and sizes correctly. | |
| Payment & Checkout Flows | Tests the entire transaction process, including adding items to a cart, applying discounts, processing payments, and confirming orders. | |
| UI/UX & Visual Testing | Visual Regression Testing | Compares screenshots of the UI against a baseline to detect unintended visual changes in layout, color, or element alignment. |
| Cross-Browser Compatibility | Checks for rendering differences and functional consistency across major web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. | |
| Mobile Responsiveness | Verifies that the application’s layout and functionality adapt correctly to different screen sizes, orientations, and viewports. | |
| Loading Performance | Monitors the application for appropriate loading indicators (e.g., spinners, skeleton screens) and handles timeout conditions gracefully. | |
| Error Message Clarity | Ensures that error messages are user-friendly, informative, and provide clear instructions for recovery. | |
| Interactive Element Feedback | Validates that interactive elements provide clear visual feedback to the user, such as hover states, click effects, and loading indicators. | |
| Advanced Capabilities | Third-Party Integrations | Tests integrations with external services, including OAuth login flows, API callbacks, and embedded widgets. |
| Complex Business Logic | Validates sophisticated conditional workflows, rule engines, and complex calculations to ensure they produce the correct outcomes. | |
| Dashboard & Analytics | Verifies the accuracy of data visualizations, charts, and report generation features. | |
| Scheduling & Calendar | Tests features involving booking, appointments, availability checks, and time-zone handling. | |
| AI-Powered Features | Validates the functionality of integrated AI features, such as chatbots, recommendation engines, and other AI-driven workflows. | |
| Custom File Handling | Allows you to upload specific files (e.g., test data) for the AI agent to use during test execution. | |
| Custom & Strategic Tests | Edge Case Testing | Probes the application with boundary values, special characters, and extreme data inputs to uncover hidden bugs. |
| Negative Testing | Intentionally provides invalid inputs or performs unauthorized actions to verify that the system handles errors gracefully and securely. | |
| Automated Regression Suites | Automatically runs a comprehensive suite of tests on every new build to ensure that recent changes have not broken existing functionality. | |
| Smoke Testing | Executes a quick set of tests on the most critical application paths after a deployment to verify that the build is stable. | |
| A/B Testing Validation | Checks the behavior of different application variants under feature flags to ensure consistency and proper functionality for all user segments. |
