Running a test

There's several ways to run a test in UIlicious:

  1. Run a test from the Editor in UIlicious Studio
  2. Schedule a test using Jobs
  3. Run a test using the UIlicious Command Line Interface
  4. Run a test by directly connecting to the UIlicious Webdriver Grid

In this getting started guide, we'll only cover how to run a test using the Studio Editor.

The Editor view is split into three panes:

  1. Workspace - Manage files in your project here
  2. Editor - Write your test here
  3. Result - Configure your test run and view the result here
The "workspace", "editor", and "result" panes in the UIlicious Editor

Once you have written a test, you can configure how you want to run a test. There are several configuration options:

  1. Browser - the browser you want to test
  2. Resolution - the initial resolution you want to test
  3. Dataset - the dataset you want to use with the test
  4. Region - the geolocation you want to run the test in
  5. User Agent - override the default user agent of the test browser

In this getting started guide, we'll only cover how to configure Browser and Resolution. To learn more about configuring and running tests in the Editor tab, read the full guide here.
