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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
Next Steps
- Create a regression suite from what you discovered
- Run a security audit to find bugs in the areas you explored
