From Flows to Scenarios
Qaptly does not start from test cases. It starts from how users actually move through your product. These movements are called flows.What is a Flow
A flow is a sequence of states and transitions that represents how a user reaches a goal. For example:E-commerce Flow
Browse → View product → Add to cart → Checkout
Authentication Flow
Login → Fail → Retry → Success
Content Creation Flow
Draft → Edit → Preview → Publish
Error Recovery Flow
Error → Diagnose → Retry → Resolution
Flows describe what users do, not what testers script.
How Qaptly Discovers Flows
Because Qaptly has a state-based product model, it can observe:- ✅ Which states are connected
- ✅ Which paths users actually take
- ✅ Where branches and alternatives exist
Turning Flows into Scenarios
A scenario is a meaningful slice of a flow that represents something that should be tested.Qaptly uses AI to:
1
Identify Critical Paths
Find the most important user journeys through your product
2
Detect Alternative Branches
Discover different ways users can achieve the same goal
3
Isolate Risky Transitions
Flag unstable or error-prone state changes
