Script generation

Script Generation converts a test case into an executable automation script in your chosen language and framework. The script includes test steps, assertions, and the scaffolding needed to run it directly

This feature must be enabled by your admin in Test Case Settings.

Generating a single script

1

Open the Script Generator

2

Configure the script

Fill in the generation settings:

Field	Description
Project Context	(Optional) Paste a public GitHub repo URL to tailor scripts to your project's libraries, patterns, and conventions.
Test Type	API, UI/E2E, Integration, or Unit
Language	Programming language or framework preset
Generation Profile	Project conventions, Strict (no external deps), or Custom
Additional Instructions	(Optional) Any guidance for code style, naming, assertions, or libraries to use
Target Path	(Optional) File path where this script should be placed in your repo (e.g. tests/auth/test_login.py)

Test Type differences

Each test type injects a specific hint into the AI prompt

• API - Focuses on HTTP calls, request/response validation, status codes

• UI/E2E - Focuses on browser interaction, selectors, visual assertions

• Integration - Focuses on service interactions, data flows, side effects

• Unit - Focuses on isolated function/method testing, mocking, edge cases

Generation Profile

• Project Conventions - Uses your repository context (if connected) to match existing coding style

• Strict - Only uses built-in standard library imports

• Custom - Allows you to specify exactly which imports and patterns to use

3

Connect repository context (optional but recommended)

For the best script quality, connect your repository so TCG can learn your project's conventions:

1. Click Connect Repository.

2. Follow the GitHub integration flow to authorise TCG.

3. TCG scans your repo and detects:

   • Primary language

   • Testing frameworks installed

   • Existing test file patterns

   • Build system (Maven, npm, Gradle, etc.)

   • Allowed imports list

4. This creates an Executable Profile that is used to generate scripts that fit your codebase.

4

Pre-flight checks

Before generating, TCG runs pre-flight checks on the test case:

• Block issues prevent generation (unless your profile allows drafts).

• Warning issues allow generation but the script may be marked as a draft.

If a blocking issue is found, edit the test case to resolve it, then try again.

5

Click Generate Script

The script is generated and displayed in a syntax-highlighted code viewer.

Understanding the quality score

Every generated script is automatically evaluated with a Quality Score (0–100):

Metric	Weight	What it checks
Assertion Coverage	30%	Number of assert / expect / verify statements relative to steps
Step Coverage	25%	Ratio of meaningful code lines to total script length
No Placeholders	20%	Absence of TODO, FIXME, pass, NotImplemented
Allowed Imports	15%	All imports are from the permitted list
No Secrets	10%	No hardcoded API keys, passwords, or tokens

Scripts scoring:

• 75–100: Green — ready to use

• 50–74: Yellow — usable, minor issues

• < 50: Red / Draft — significant gaps, manual review required
