Regenerate Tests

Regenerate test suites for existing projects to update coverage.

There are two different ways to regenerate tests depending on whether you want to update just a few cases or start over completely.

Regenerate Subset of Test Cases

1. Open your TestSprite test plan file

   Open your TestSprite test plan file (e.g. testsprite_frontend_test_plan.json).

2. Edit the test case description

   Find the test case you want to change, edit the descriptionand, and save the file ( ⌘S ). For example:

   Before/After Example

   Before: Verify user can log in with valid email and password
   After: Verify user can log in with email '[e-mail]', password 'xxxxxx'
   
3. Prompt in your IDE

   Example Prompt

    Rerun the Xth test for me using testsprite_generate_code_and_execute
   
4. TestSprite runs the updated tests

   TestSprite will detect your change, update the relevant test code, and run the updated tests automatically.

Key Point: You only need to change the description in the plan. TestSprite handles the rest.

Regenerate Entire Project

If you want a clean start or have made major changes:

1. Delete the testsprite_tests folder

   Delete the testsprite_tests folder in your project.

   

   This ensures no outdated files remain.

2. Prompt in your IDE

   In your IDE, type again:

   Example Prompt

   Help me test this project with TestSprite
   
3. TestSprite generates new tests

   TestSprite will generate a brand new test plan and test code for the whole project.

When to use this: If your project has changed a lot and the old test plan no longer matches well.
