Run QA Tests

This step-by-step guide shows you how to generate automated test plans, review detected issues, and export actionable reports.

Step 1: Go to the Link Testing tab

Step 2: Once your survey is programmed, open the Link Testing tab and click on Start.

Step 3: Enter your survey link and select the Decipher instance configured for QA.

Make sure to perform these actions in Decipher for that specific project and then check the boxes in the dialog.

• Disable all quotas

• Disable bot detection

• Add the QA-specific user in Decipher for this project

Step 4: Click Generate Test Plan.

Step 5: You’ll see the agent interface on the right as it begins creating your test cases.

Step 6: You can review your survey sections on the left. Click any question to see the checks generated for it. Checks include presence, logical, and textual validations for each question.

Step 7: Need a new test? Type your request in the agent’s chat. The agent confirms when the new test is added.

Step 8: Once generated, your tests will run automatically. You’ll get a notification by email when execution finishes.

Step 9: On completion, you’ll find a Needs Attention section that highlights issues detected by the agent.

Step 10: See the specific question names and the agent’s identified issues with detailed messages.

Step 11: You can also click on a question to review all the checks performed by the agent.

For each issue, check the agent’s explanations, which include feedback on formatting, display logic, and more.

Step 12: Once reviews are done, click Export Report. For a focused summary, choose Export Failures Only.

Retesting Links After Making Changes

After updating your survey, it’s important to re-run your link tests to ensure everything works as expected. The link testing panel gives you flexible options to manage your test runs.

Step 1: Open the link testing panel and start a new test run to check your updated survey.

Step 2: If the survey structure hasn't changed, click Reuse test plan from test one to save time. If there are major changes, let the AI generate a new test plan.

The rest of the testing workflow remains unchanged.
