Supported Test Types

TestSprite focuses on end-to-end value delivery, covering both frontend user journeys and backend service behaviors. The following categories map to what you saw in Overview and are generated automatically by the MCP server.
test type

  • Frontend (UI & Business-Flow Integration)
  • Backend (API & Integration)
  • User Journey Navigation: Multi-step workflows, page transitions, deep linking, browser history, and route guards
  • Form Flows & Validation: Input validation, error messages, field dependencies, submission handling, and data persistence
  • Visual States & Layouts: Component rendering, responsive design, loading states, empty states, and accessibility compliance
  • Interactive Components & Stateful UI: Dropdowns, modals, tabs, accordions, drag-and-drop, state persistence, and real-time updates
  • Authorization & Auth Flows: Login/logout, protected routes, role-based UI visibility, session management, and token refresh
  • Error Handling (UI): Toast notifications, modal dialogs, inline errors, validation feedback, and graceful degradation
The agent chooses the right mix per project, auto-generates plans, then produces executable tests (e.g., Playwright/Cypress for UI; language-appropriate clients for APIs).

​
Test Lifecycle

TestSprite’s lifecycle is designed to be continuous and IDE-native.
1

Discover & Understand

Analyze codebase structure, dependencies, and routes/endpoints. Normalize requirements into a TestSprite PRD.
2

Plan

Generate test plans per feature, mapping to the test types above. Prioritize critical paths and regressions.
3

Generate

Create runnable test code and fixtures. Synthesize data and environment configuration as needed.
4

Execute

Run tests in isolated environments with reliable orchestration. Capture artifacts: logs, traces, screenshots, videos.
5

Analyze

Classify failures (product bug vs. test fragility vs. environment). Summarize impact and correlate to code changes.
6

Heal & Maintain

Auto-update brittle selectors, data, and flows when safe. Propose edits when human approval is prudent.
7

Report & Integrate

Publish readable reports in your IDE and portal. Output signals for CI/CD quality gates.

​
How Frontend and Backend Tests Work Together

  • UI flows validate end-to-end behavior as a user would experience it
  • API tests validate service contracts directly for faster feedback
  • The two layers share understanding of auth, data models, and error semantics to pinpoint root causes quickly
