Test Execution

Overview

Test Execution is the process of running your Test Suites against your Voiceflow applications to validate functionality, responses, and user experience flows.

How Test Execution Works

Manual Execution

You can run tests immediately in several ways:

From Test Suites Page: Click the "Run Test" button on any test suite card
From Test Suite Editor: Use the "Execute Test" button when viewing/editing a suite

Status Indicators

Pending ⏳: Test has been submitted and is waiting to start
Running 🔄: Test is currently executing
Completed ✅: Test finished successfully with all validations
Failed ❌: Test failed due to validation errors or system issues
Scheduled 📅: Test is queued for future execution

Test Execution History

Viewing Executions

Navigate to Test Executions to see:

Complete History: All your past test executions
Execution Details: Date, time, duration, and status for each run
Suite Information: Which test suite was executed
Trigger Type: Whether the test was run manually or scheduled

Execution Details

Click on any execution to view:

Test Logs: Detailed step-by-step execution logs
Results: Pass/fail status for each test case
Timing Information: How long each test case took
Error Details: Specific failure reasons and debugging information

Execution Types

Manual Executions: Triggered by user action
Scheduled Executions: Automated runs at specified times

Understanding Test Results

Success Criteria

A test execution is considered successful when:

All test cases pass their validation criteria
No system errors occur during execution
All API calls complete successfully

Failure Analysis

When tests fail, review:

Validation Errors: Which specific validations failed
Response Differences: How actual responses differed from expected
System Issues: API connectivity or timeout problems
Configuration Errors: Incorrect test setup or parameters

Logs and Debugging

Execution logs provide detailed information for debugging tests.

Execution Limits and Considerations

API Limitations

Respect Voiceflow API rate limits
Monitor Voiceflow token usage to avoid quota exhaustion
Plan execution timing to optimize resources

Performance Factors

Test complexity affects execution time
Network latency impacts overall duration
API response times vary based on bot complexity

Data Retention

Execution history is retained for your account
Logs and results are available for analysis
Export capabilities for external reporting
