The below series of four short videos are intended for first-time and new users. They set out an approach for rapidly building flowchart by scanning a web UI. You will then overlay test data, generate optimised test cases and push the tests for automated execution.

We advise that new users begin with this quick-start guide. The 101 and 102 video training courses in turn build on the videos, providing a more detailed overview of Test Modeller’s capabilities:

  1. Test Modeller 101 provides an overview of manual model creation, static and dynamic test definition, test case generation, test coverage, and subflows.
  2. Test Modeller 102 provides an overview of test automation with Test Modeller. The course sets out how to automate tests both using the out-of-the-box framework and using external frameworks. You will learn how to build tests using the recorder, as well as how to analyse test run results.

Curiosity additionally provide written documentation that can be used alongside the video training courses. The Knowledge Base articles provide step-by-step instructions on how to use Test Modeller.
