Quick Start Guide
Go from sign-up to your first autonomous QA run in minutes.
This guide gets you to your first useful run: a configured environment, a bit of product context, and an execution you can review with evidence.
What you need
A publicly reachable staging URL (or any environment the agent containers can access).
Sign in
Go to certyn.io and sign in. You will land in the dashboard.
Complete the onboarding wizard
On your first sign-in, Certyn creates a starter Project and a default Production environment for you.
The onboarding wizard will ask for:
- Application URL: where to test (staging or production)
- Authentication (optional): login username/password for apps that require sign-in
During onboarding, you can watch live testing while Certyn validates access and performs an initial discovery run.
Add context in Wiki
Open Wiki in the sidebar and fill out:
- Overview: what the product does, primary users, critical flows
- Rules: non-negotiable expectations (auth, validation, payments, etc)
Review the standard processes
Open Processes. New projects come with standard processes already created:
- App Explorer (starts after onboarding completes and keeps running on a schedule)
- Smoke Suite (runs on deploy)
- Regression Suite (runs daily)
You can edit schedules/triggers, or disable any process you do not want running.
Create or refine a test
Open Tests and create a test that covers one workflow (or refine what App Explorer proposed). For example:
Go to the login page.
Sign in using LOGIN_USERNAME and LOGIN_PASSWORD from the environment variables.
Verify the dashboard loads and shows the user's name.
Run and review
Open a process (for example Smoke Suite) and click Run now. While it runs, click Watch Live.
When it completes, review artifacts:
- session logs and screenshots
- any issues created
- what to fix in the app vs what to clarify in the test
