UC: AutoTest & AutoDocument

UC: AutoTest & AutoDocument Mastery offers more than convenience—it delivers a critical advantage in modern DevOps environments.

Today, 63% of organizations say their testing is poorly aligned with Agile or DevOps delivery (World Quality Report, 2023). Even more, nearly 70% of testing teams say documentation is their biggest bottleneck—especially during platform upgrades or regulatory audits (TestRail QA Survey, 2024).

Yet companies like BT Group, NHS Digital, and Transport for London have already adopted AutoTest and AutoDocument to:

  • Streamline agile development and now with Agentic AI
  • Reduce testing cycle times
  • Deliver up-to-date user documentation automatically

As a result, they’ve seen measurable improvements in release readiness, audit compliance, and employee experience.


🧭 From Click to Confidence: The Step-by-Step Journey

🛠 Step 1: Push-Button Testing with AutoTest

To begin, a single click launches a full simulation of user behavior inside ServiceNow. Transitioning from manual to automated, this step validates:

  • Field entries and defaults
  • Button state and form behavior
  • Triggered workflows (e.g., approvals, escalations)
  • Backend record updates and data flows

Meanwhile, every test step is recorded, validated, and evaluated. Consequently:

  • Pass: Expected actions and values are confirmed
  • Fail: Detailed logs, screenshots, and tracebacks identify exactly what failed—and where

📊 Each Test Run: Pass/Fail + Documentation at Scale

Every time a test runs, it delivers more than just validation. It produces pass/fail scoring with traceable checks, validations, and outcomes.

From Test Run to Trusted Results: Scoring, Evidence, and Auto-Generated Content
Because every test should do more than pass—it should prove.

Each test run does more than just validate functionality—it builds confidence and delivers traceability. As soon as a run is initiated, AutoTest begins evaluating every action, check, and outcome. As a result, you get immediate pass/fail scoring, allowing teams to take quick, informed next steps.

Furthermore, this scoring is paired with detailed, real-time evidence:

  • Execution Logs – Capturing every step for full transparency
  • 🖼️ Screenshots and Visual References – Automatically generated, no manual effort required
  • 📊 Result Snapshots – Summarizing what passed, what failed, and why

Then, moving even further, AutoDocument steps in to generate polished, purpose-built documentation based on that test run—instantly and accurately.

In fact, the last test run (APRUN00000076) was fully successful. As confirmed in the scoring summary, it served as the source for all the documentation you’ll see next—including user guides, sprint artifacts, compliance evidence, and a Go-Live video.

🔁 From execution to evidence, and from evidence to enablement—it’s all just one test away.


📄 Step 2: Documents on Demand, in minutes with AutoDocument

🎥 In this video, we demonstrate AutomatePro using a simple, real-world use case above can create an easy user friendly video step by step. This test case highlights several key automation capabilities drawn directly from the AutomatePro Actions and Checks Library.

📄 One Test, Many Outcomes: Instant Documentation with AutoDocument

Once your automated test case passes, the real magic begins. With just one click, AutoDocument transforms that single test run into a full suite of up-to-date documentation—ready for teams, stakeholders, and end users alike.

👉 Here’s what you can instantly generate:

  • Story-Level Documentation – Traceability from requirement to validation
  • 🌀 Sprint Artifacts – Aligned with your Agile ceremonies and goals
  • 📋 Compliance Reports – Audit-ready evidence, every time
  • 📘 User Guides – Step-by-step, role-based guidance for any persona
  • 🎬 Go-Live Videos – Auto-generated and editable for training or announcements
  • Guided Tours – Interactive walkthroughs for self-service enablement

From Execution to Evidence: How Test Runs Deliver Instant Compliance Reporting

Here is an example of an Autodocument Test Run or Compliance Report—seamlessly generated from your automated test execution. As soon as a test completes, detailed evidence is captured and compiled into structured reports. Moreover, these reports provide immediate insights for QA sign-off, sprint review, and regulatory compliance—no manual effort required.

Seamless Test Execution to Instant Evidence: Stay Aligned, Compliant, and Always Ready to Deliver

Furthermore, every artifact remains perfectly in sync with your latest test logic—eliminating outdated PDFs, avoiding tedious screenshots, and removing the guesswork. As a result, you can focus on delivering value while AutoDocument takes care of the rest.

In fact, from the successful test case shown above, we’ve instantly generated a Go-Live Video—fully ready to share, easily customizable for different user groups, and instantly reusable across training, onboarding, or compliance activities.

➕ First, you run the test.
🔁 Then, you reuse the content.
🚀 Finally, you deliver results—faster, smarter, and always up to date.

Document TypeIncludesValue Delivered
User GuideScreenshots + instructions for each test stepSimplifies onboarding & user adoption
QA Test ReportAll test steps, validations, pass/fail resultsSupports QA reviews and compliance
Guided TourInteractive, clickable walkthroughsReduces training tickets and improves usability
Go-Live VideoReal-time screen recording of the test processIdeal for demos, executive reviews, and training
UAT GuideExpected outcomes for user acceptance testingSpeeds up feedback and decision-making

Even better, these assets are automatically published to your ServiceNow knowledge base, or other Teams Collaboration shared folder—depending on how you configure it.

Moreover, they stay updated every time the test is re-run.


🔄 What Happens When Your App Changes?

Since every application evolves, you’ll eventually need to adjust your tests.

Thankfully, AutoTest makes this incredibly simple. As soon as something breaks:

  • The test fails with clear indicators
  • You edit or re-record only the changed steps
  • AutoDocument regenerates all impacted documentation

Therefore, no more outdated guides or screenshots. Everything stays synchronized with your app.


⏱ Automate Testing—No More Manual Chore

You can also automate test runs across environments and phases:

  • 🌙 Nightly regression testing
  • 🚦 Pre-release smoke testing
  • 🚢 Post-deployment validations
  • 🌐 Scheduled testing across Dev, Test, UAT, and Prod

Additionally, results can be emailed to team members or posted to Teams or Slack, enabling faster triage and collaboration.
