What to do now

Build Playwright tests with Flow Testing's visual canvas and run them automatically.

Summary

Flow Testing is a drag‑and‑drop builder that lets non‑developers create real Playwright tests without code, addressing the common problem of manual smoke tests being skipped during fast releases. The visual canvas offers nodes for navigation, clicking, filling, and asserting, and runs on Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. A trace viewer shows screenshots and network logs when a test fails, while API mocking lets teams simulate edge cases. The product also experiments with AI agents—Planner, Generator, and Healer—to automatically generate, plan, and fix tests, though the feature set is still maturing. Flow Testing currently offers a paid plan but provides a free month trial to attract early adopters. The author invites users to try the tool and provide feedback on missing features or confusing workflows.
