Your first test

1. Create a project

After signing up, create a project from the dashboard. Give it a name and a base URL — the site your tests will run against (e.g. https://staging.example.com).

2. Create a test

Inside the project, create a new test. Every test has:

• a name describing what it verifies
• an optional start URL (defaults to the project base URL)
• an ordered list of steps written in plain English

3. Author steps in a live session

Open the test in the authoring view. Iris launches a real browser session and streams it to your screen. As you write each step, it executes live so you can see exactly what the agent does:

Click the "Products" link in the navigation
Search for "wireless headphones"
Verify at least one product card is shown

A few things you can do in the live session:

• Navigate — go to a URL, back, forward, or reload without writing a step for it.
• Type directly — dispatch keyboard/mouse input to the browser when you need manual control.
• Multiple tabs — open and switch tabs; useful for flows that span windows.
• Replay — re-run the steps written so far from the top.

4. Run the test

Save the test and trigger a run. The run executes in a fresh browser, streams frames live, and records every step's outcome. When it finishes you can review:

• per-step pass/fail results with timings
• screenshots captured during the run
• browser console output and network events
