Build Your Automation in Qontinui Web

Create a Free Account

Create Your First Project

  1. Click "New Project" in your dashboard
  2. Give your project a name (e.g., "My First Automation")
  3. Click "Create" to open the automation builder

Define Your States

States represent the different screens or conditions in your application. For example:

  • Login Screen
  • Dashboard
  • Settings Page

Tip: Add identifying images to each state so Qontinui can recognize when it's active.

Add Actions and Transitions

Connect your states with transitions that define:

  • What actions to perform (click, type, wait, etc.)
  • Which state to navigate to next
  • When the transition should occur

Test with Mock Execution

Before running on real systems, test your automation logic directly in the browser:

  1. Click the "Test" button in the automation builder
  2. Select your starting process or state
  3. Watch as Qontinui simulates the execution flow
  4. Review the execution log to verify your logic

Why Mock Testing? Mock execution lets you validate your state machine and automation logic without requiring a real GUI environment. It's fast, safe, and perfect for iterating on your design.
