For teams with upload forms.
Your setup
- A web app on staging, with a test account.
- Upload forms: an avatar (PNG or JPG), contracts (PDF), a contacts import (CSV).
- A size limit, for example 10 MB.
Say this to Certyn
Test the avatar, contract and contact import uploads on staging. Try good files, the wrong type and a file over our 10 MB limit.
What Certyn does
- Says the run length and starts an explore run with your forms and limits in the goal (
app.run.createtypeexplore). The upload tool works in runs, not on the chat's own Machine. - Puts a file into the page's file input (
browser.file.upload), then submits the form. Built-in samples:image_pngandimage_jpg(1×1 pixel),document_pdf(one blank page),spreadsheet_csv(a headername,email,roleand two rows),text_txt, andoversized_bin(12 MB). - Good files: checks name, preview and imported rows.
- Wrong type, such as the text file in the image field: checks for a clear message, and that the server refuses it too.
- Too large: checks for a clear message, not an endless spinner or a server error. It reads failed requests (
browser.network.list). - Other files: makes them in the run's shell and uploads them by path: a file over a larger limit, an empty file, a CSV with a bad row.
- Files one issue per real bug, with the file used and what happened.
What you get
- Issues with the file used, the expected and real result, and screenshots.
- A run report with each form and file tried.
Limits
- Files you attach in the chat do not reach the Machine or runs. To use your own files, give a URL the run can download, keep them in your repo (with a
GH_TOKEN), or on a self-hosted runner put them in the/workspacefolder. Certyn then uploads them by path. - The samples are tiny. A 1×1 image can fail a minimum size check. Ask for a real image by URL.
- Works with a file input in the page. A file input inside an iframe (some upload widgets) or a shadow DOM component is not reached. A drag and drop area works only if it has a file input behind it, as most do.
