Build the Product Model
After discovering structure and capturing behavior, Qaptly builds a model of how your product works. This model is the brain of Qaptly.What the Product Model Contains
Qaptly represents your application as:States
Where the product can be at any given time
Transitions
How it moves between states
Conditions
What must be true for a transition to happen
Coverage
Which states and paths have been observed
Why Qaptly Uses a State-Based Model
Real products are not linear scripts. They are systems with:- Multiple paths users can take
- Conditional logic that changes behavior
- Error handling for edge cases
- Dynamic behavior based on data
A state-based model reflects this reality and allows Qaptly to reason about what is expected, what is risky, what has changed, and what is untested.
From Model to Intelligence
Because Qaptly has a product model, it can:Compare Releases
Compare Releases
Detect what changed between versions by comparing product models
Detect Breaking Changes
Detect Breaking Changes
Identify transitions that no longer work or produce unexpected results
Identify Fragile Areas
Identify Fragile Areas
Find states with complex conditions or high error rates
Generate Test Scenarios
Generate Test Scenarios
Create meaningful test cases based on actual product behavior
Produce Evidence Reports
Produce Evidence Reports
Generate comprehensive reports showing what was tested and verified
