When searching for items in your mabl workspace, you might only be able to recall random details. For example, you might be able to remember roughly what a test does, one of its labels, and a variable used in a specific step. With smart search, you can now search for any of the above in a single query. Describe what you're looking for in plain language, including any exact text you can remember, and mabl figures out which parts to match by meaning and which parts to match by text or keyword.
For example, a search like "the login test that checks the Remember me box" finds tests about logging in while also matching the "Remember me" text, instead of forcing your whole query to be either a description or a set of keywords.
Smart search is supported for browser and mobile tests and flows, JavaScript snippets, and database queries. Text and keyword matching works across the following:
- Name
- Description
- Labels
- Step descriptions
Other information associated with the test, like test case IDs or DataTables, are not yet included in the search.
API and performance tests are only searchable by their metadata – name, description, labels – and not their contents.
Try it out
When searching for a test, flow, snippet, or database query in the mabl app, combine natural language descriptions with specific pieces of text as needed. For example:
- Login tests that check for the ‘Invalid password’ error”
- Registration flow that clicks the terms of service link
- Smoke tests that update the profile avatar
- JavaScript snippet that extracts text from all rows in the billing history table
Smart search queries are also supported by the mabl cloud MCP.
