Explore Your App

Use the explore tool to discover what your app does before testing it. Useful for onboarding onto a new codebase, auditing an app you didn’t build, or getting a quick overview of your app’s surface area.

Run an Exploration

  1. Tell your AI assistant to explore

    Explore my app at http://localhost:3000

    FastTest opens a browser and performs a breadth-first crawl of your app, visiting pages, discovering forms, cataloging navigation, and noting interactive elements.

  2. Review the map

    Your AI assistant reports what it found: pages, forms, inputs, navigation patterns, and potential test targets. This gives you an at-a-glance understanding of the app’s surface area.

  3. Go deeper with focus

    Narrow the exploration to specific areas:

    Explore http://localhost:3000, focus on forms

    Available focus modes: all (default), forms, navigation, errors.

Explore Behind Authentication

If your app requires login, save a browser session first:

Log into http://localhost:3000 and save the session

Then explore with the session restored:

Explore my app at http://localhost:3000

FastTest auto-detects saved sessions and suggests restoring them so the exploration can reach authenticated pages.

What Explore Does Not Do

Explore is a discovery tool — it maps your app but does not save tests or suites. To turn exploration results into a persistent test suite, follow up with:

Vibe shield my app at http://localhost:3000

Or create targeted tests for specific flows:

Test the checkout flow on http://localhost:3000
