From URL to runnable test in seconds: no signup, no setup!

Getting started with a new testing tool often means creating an account, configuring a workspace, and learning the interface before you can even see it work.

The Thunders Mini App removes that friction entirely.

You can paste any public URL and instantly generate AI-powered test steps for that page.

The test opens in an interactive Test Case view where you can execute & inspect.

Before:

“Create account → setup → workspace → then try a test”

After:

“Paste URL → test runs instantly.”

Experience the core workflow immediately, then move to a full workspace when you’re ready.

Impact:

★ Curious users no longer have to read about Thunders: they see it in action.

Quick, tangible results spark engagement and create a direct path for simple wonderers into users enhancing their testing strategy 😁

What’s New

• The Copilot interface has moved from a drawer to a dedicated panel, giving users more space and a smoother, more natural experience when reviewing test runs.

Why It Matters

• Better UX: Expanded panel layout makes it easier to interact with test runs and Copilot suggestions.

Impact

Users now benefit from more intuitive interface, making Thunders Copilot easier to use and understand while giving them more control over their workflow.

What’s New

• Tickets created in integrations (e.g., Jira, Notion) now match the project language
• Test run reports include a direct link back to the run

Why It Matters

• Improves coherence between Thunders and external tools
• Makes it easier for teams to trace issues and reference results

Impact

Users now experience smoother, more consistent integration, reducing errors and improving collaboration.

What’s New

• Access test runs directly from the test case list
• Navigate to the last test run from the list
• Group test cases ran from the same test set
• Sort runs by title and resize columns

Why It Matters

• Improves visibility into past executions
• Simplifies navigation through test history

Impact

Teams can now track and analyze test runs more efficiently, making it easier to manage large test suites.

What’s New

Thunders now shows a banner when Hot Reload is unavailable, alerting users if they try to hot reload on a non-CDP browser.

Why It Matters

• Increases awareness of when Hot Reload can be used
• Encourages use of CDP-compatible browsers (Chromium, Chrome, Edge)
• Supports better test composition and reuse of test cases

How It Works

The banner appears next to execution settings when Hot Reload isn’t available and disappears after refresh or re-login, preventing unnecessary interruptions.

Impact

Users now get clear guidance on Hot Reload availability, improving workflow efficiency and reducing trial-and-error on unsupported browsers.

What’s New

When creating a test plan, the title is now auto-generated based on the plan’s content.

Why It Matters

• Reduces manual input
• Simplifies the creation of new test plans

Impact

Users can now create test plans faster and more consistently, improving workflow efficiency.

What’s New

The organization logo now appears in the sidebar when changed.

Why It Matters

• Makes it clear that organization branding can be customized
• Improves visual clarity in multi-organization projects

Impact

Users can quickly identify the active organization, reducing confusion in shared or multi-project environments.

What’s New

Duplicated test cases now automatically belong to the same test set as the original.

Why It Matters

• Helps customers group related test cases together
• Simplifies test organization and management

Impact

Teams can now maintain cleaner, more organized test sets, making it easier to track and manage related tests.

What’s New

Thunders now allows users to export entities from their lists to CSV files, directly from tables in the platform.

Why It Matters

• Supports reporting and analytics
• Makes it easy to share, track, and analyze test cases and test runs outside the platform

How It Works

Users can export tables such as test cases or test runs with a single click. The CSV includes all visible data: names, test sets, last run data, environment, and last edit exactly as seen in the platform.

Impact

Teams can now quickly generate accurate reports for audits, reviews, or data analysis, improving transparency and workflow efficiency.

What’s New

Thunders’ test runner now supports multiple browser tabs within a single scenario.

Why It Matters

• Expands runner capabilities to handle more complex test cases
• Supports longer, multi-step scenarios that open new tabs
• Lays the groundwork for future tab-switching functionality

How It Works

The runner now tracks and interacts with all open tabs during execution. Users can still opt for single-tab linear execution if preferred. Example: A sign-up flow that opens a new tab is now fully executed and interactable within the runner.

Impact

Teams can now simulate real-world workflows more accurately, handle complex multi-tab scenarios, and prepare for advanced tab-based execution features in the future.
