Test Scripts

Test Scripts are executable automation code generated from your test cases. TestFlair creates Java scripts — using either Selenium or Playwright — that you can run directly from the platform.

What Are Test Scripts?​

Test scripts are automated programs that:

  • Navigate to web pages
  • Interact with UI elements (click, type, select)
  • Verify expected outcomes
  • Report pass/fail results
  • Capture screenshots on failure

Generating Test Scripts​

After your test cases are ready:

  1. Navigate to the Test Scripts tab in your project
  2. Click Generate Scripts (or generate a script from an individual test case)
  3. In the "How would you like to generate your script?" dialog, choose a programming language and an automation framework
  4. Review the estimated Flair cost, then confirm
  5. Wait for the AI to generate executable scripts

Languages & Frameworks​

When generating a script you pick both a language and a framework:

ChoiceOptions
LanguageJava. Python appears in the picker but is disabled — Java is the only language you can generate today.
FrameworkSelenium or Playwright
info

Playwright is a modern browser-automation framework offered alongside the established Selenium engine. Pick whichever your team standardizes on.

Script Structure​

Java Example​

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.*;

public class TestUserLogin {
    private WebDriver driver;
    private String baseUrl = "https://app.example.com";

    @BeforeMethod
    public void setup() {
        driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void teardown() {
        driver.quit();
    }

    @Test(description = "TC-001: Verify login with valid credentials")
    public void testSuccessfulLogin() {
        driver.get(baseUrl + "/login");

        WebElement usernameField = driver.findElement(By.id("username"));
        usernameField.sendKeys("[email protected]");

        WebElement passwordField = driver.findElement(By.id("password"));
        passwordField.sendKeys("TestPass123!");

        WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.id("login-btn"));
        loginButton.click();

        Assert.assertTrue(driver.getCurrentUrl().contains("/dashboard"));
    }
}

Code Editor​

TestFlair includes a built-in Monaco code editor (the same editor that powers VS Code) for viewing and editing your scripts.

Script editor

  • Syntax highlighting for the generated code
  • Edit scripts directly in the browser
  • Save changes after editing
  • Download scripts to use in your local development environment

Page Object Model (POM)​

For projects that use it, TestFlair can generate scripts following the Page Object Model pattern. In POM mode, the generated code is split into:

  • Page classes — Encapsulate page-specific elements and actions
  • Test class — Contains the actual test logic using page objects

You can edit individual page classes and the test class separately in the editor.

Managing Scripts​

Viewing Scripts​

The test scripts list shows all generated scripts for your project. Click on any script to open it in the code editor.

Script Metadata​

Each script tracks:

  • The programming language used
  • The linked test case
  • Generation status
