Hi @Meroda Gezahegn 

Navigate to All > Automated Tests Framework (ATF) > Auto-generate Tests.

 The ATF Test Generator and Cloud Runner store app link shows up. The Auto-generate Tests module shows up only if you don’t have the ATF Test Generator and Cloud Runner store app installed.

Following this link on how to use it.

It Has a video tutorial.

Hi @Meroda Gezahegn 

You need to check the version first.

It is present in Vancouver only

You can check using stats

We had ATF installed in our instances for a while. I attempted to add the new version from Plugins after we upgraded to Washington DC but could not. An admin on our team had to install from the SN store. After the install of the new version I had new options for Select Cloud User and Test Generation.

The Cloud Runner required a new user setup with admin but works great. I have the option to select Edge (browser) or Cloud Runner under Run Test. Debug only allows the Browser which is fine. Running the test with the Cloud Runner I don't see the interaction, but it allows me to do other tasks in another tab/etc. It shows the status of steps and the normal results. I did notice that we had set the properties to only show screenshots for failed steps. I had to change it to all steps to see them in the results of a Cloud Runner. The Cloud Runner will be helpful for running our test suites.

I am still researching the Auto Test Generation but it appears it only applies to Users, Tables, and Service Catalog (nativeUI). It does not generate test for the Service Portal. 😞 I will have to continue to use the UI Action I developed to generate tests for the portal.
