Actions
The Actions page uses AI to synthesize all your project data into prioritized recommendations for improving test quality.
Overview
Instead of reviewing Dashboard, Analysis, Coverage, and Bug data separately, the Actions page analyzes everything at once and generates a ranked list of up to 10 action items — sorted by highest impact with lowest effort first.
Generating Action Items
First Time
- Navigate to Actions in the sidebar
- You'll see an empty state with a "Generate Actions" button
- Click "Generate Actions"
- Wait a few seconds while AI analyzes your project data
- Action items appear as ranked cards
Regenerating
- Click "Regenerate" in the top-right corner to refresh recommendations
- This forces a new AI analysis even if data hasn't changed
- Useful after you've completed some recommended actions
Stale Data Detection
When project data changes (new test runs, crawls, bugs detected), QAID detects the change automatically:
- A yellow "Data has changed" banner appears
- Click "Regenerate" in the banner to get updated recommendations
- Cached results load instantly when data hasn't changed (no AI cost)
Understanding Action Cards
Each action item card shows:
Rank Number
Priority position (1 = most impactful + easiest to do). Ranked by impact/effort ratio.
Category Badge
What area the recommendation addresses:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Critical Bugs | Open bugs that need attention |
| Test Coverage | Gaps in test coverage |
| Flaky Tests | Unreliable tests to stabilize |
| Missing Tests | Pages or features without tests |
| Visual Regression | Visual testing gaps |
| Quality Improvement | General quality enhancements |
Title and Description
A concise title explaining what to do, followed by a 1-2 sentence description of why it matters and what specific action to take in QAID.
Impact Badge
How much this action will improve quality:
| Impact | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Critical | Blocks releases, must fix |
| High | Significant quality risk |
| Medium | Improves reliability |
| Low | Nice-to-have improvement |
Effort Badge
How much time this action requires:
| Effort | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Minimal | Less than 5 minutes (click a button) |
| Low | Less than 30 minutes |
| Medium | 1-2 hours |
| High | Half day or more |
Deep Link Button
Each action item has a button that navigates directly to the relevant QAID page where you can take action. For example:
- "View Failing Tests" → links to Analysis page
- "Create Scenarios" → links to Automated Tests page
- "Capture Baselines" → links to Visual Regression page
Related Entities
Names of specific tests, pages, or bugs related to this recommendation.
Tips
- Generate after major milestones: After running tests, extracting elements, or fixing bugs
- Work top-down: Start with rank 1 (highest impact/lowest effort) and work down
- Use deep links: Click the action buttons to jump directly to the right page
- Regenerate after acting: After completing a few actions, regenerate to get updated priorities
