Live View
How to read the live run view — steps, screenshots, and what each event type means.
The live view lets you watch a run unfold in real time. It opens automatically when you trigger an on-demand run and updates via a live connection to the agent.
Anatomy of the live view
The live view has three areas:
- Status bar — current run state (Queued, Running, Pass, Fail, Inconclusive) and elapsed time
- Step feed — a growing list of steps as the agent produces them
- Final result — appears when the run ends, with the agent's reasoning
Step types
Each step card in the feed represents one action or observation from the agent.
| Step type | What it means |
|---|---|
| Navigate | The agent opened a URL or followed a link |
| Click | The agent clicked a button, link, or element |
| Type | The agent filled in a text field |
| Observe | The agent noted something about the page (content, layout, state) |
| Screenshot | The agent captured the current browser state |
| Verify | The agent is checking the expected outcome |
| Result | The final pass / fail / inconclusive decision with reasoning |
Screenshots in the feed
Screenshots appear inline in the step feed at the moment they were captured. You can click any screenshot to zoom in and see the browser state at that point in the run.
Connection
The live view uses a persistent server-sent events (SSE) connection. If you close the tab and come back, the run history page shows all steps from the transcript — nothing is lost.
If your network drops mid-run, the agent keeps running. Reconnecting to the run page restores the full step history from the transcript.
After the agent finishes the browser test, the live view keeps showing progress while Smoketest verifies the result, saves the recording, trace, and transcript, records usage, and prepares the final result.
After the run ends
Once the run finishes, the live view transitions to the run detail view. From there you can:
- Replay the full video recording
- Browse the complete step log
- See the agent's result and reasoning
- Navigate to the next or previous run for this test
