That\u2019s where many QA teams stall out. They don&#8217;t have the right software testing tools for mapping the app, identifying user paths, and determining testing priorities. So, building a test plan can take days (or more) of manual work. It\u2019s often slow, frustrating, and error-prone.<br><br>Even then, you\u2019re often left wondering if you missed something important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a recipe for confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cblank page problem\u201d can mean skipping QA tests altogether and just hoping for the best. Or the lack of a comprehensive app map (and the resulting test plan) can lead to guesswork, causing quality issues and a poor user experience.<br><br>For those who already have some tests in place and aren\u2019t contending with a blank page, the path to coverage improvement can still be hazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI testing tools can change the game here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <strong>AI Test Planner<\/strong>, Rainforest QA now does the heavy lifting of mapping potential coverage for you \u2014 whether you\u2019re starting from scratch or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t just take our word for it, though. Here&#8217;s what one beta tester had to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIt gave us a solid foundation and confidence that our key use cases are covered.\u201d<\/p><cite>&#8211; QA Engineer at a Medtech Compliance App<br>(Rainforest customer &amp; beta tester)<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How AI Test Planner works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AI Test Planner uses our proprietary AI crawler to map your app from a starting URL, methodically exploring the entire product. Over a few hours, Rainforest\u2019s AI crawler moves through the major features and common user paths. It then compiles an AI Test Plan, which is a structured view of your app (as a PDF), that can become your foundation for planning test coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see your app clearly mapped out \u2014 organized by modules, features, and flows \u2014 giving you a practical view of what might need testing.<br><br>From there, your team can apply their in-depth knowledge of the app to prioritize and quickly finalize a test plan. (And Rainforest can then help rapidly create test cases.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all aspects of Rainforest\u2019s AI testing tools, our goal is to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/ai-test-automation\">QA automation<\/a> and AI to <strong>reduce manual effort and risk<\/strong> while <strong>keeping humans in the loop <\/strong>for contextualization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This saves time while ensuring you can trust your QA processes and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What you\u2019ll get with AI Test Planner<\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all software testing tools are created equally.

So it provides a starting point to avoid the \u201cblank page\u201d issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I have multiple applications. Can I still generate an AI test plan?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you\u2019ll just need to run the crawler on each application separately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I run the crawler again in a few months to ensure my team is up-to-date on coverage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there are no limits to how often you can generate a new plan. AI Test Planner is designed both for teams just getting started with QA testing and those who have tests in place but need to map and extend coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is the test plan going to include all possible paths?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, the crawler won\u2019t be able to uncover every single path. It will go about four levels deep into each page of your application. The Planner will then build a test plan with as many of the covered paths as possible. It should give you a high-level overview that you can use as a starting point.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I limit the crawler to just part of my application?<br>&nbsp;<\/strong><br>At the moment, no. The crawler will navigate through as much of the application as possible. It will only limit itself when encountering a new subdomain. When this happens, it will attempt to assess whether it\u2019s still in the same application or not (e.g., it shouldn&#8217;t explore your blog or help center, even if that\u2019s linked from your application).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With AI Test Planner, Rainforest now does the heavy lifting of mapping potential coverage for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":3409,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,1,2],"tags":[27,36,37,38,39,40],"class_list":["post-3379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product","category-qa-strategy","category-test-automation","tag-qa-strategy","tag-ai-testing-tools","tag-quality-assurance","tag-software-testing","tag-ai-software-testing","tag-ai-in-qa"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3379"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3413,"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3379\/revisions\/3413"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rainforestqa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
