chart-lineUnderstanding Dashboard: A Complete Guide

Dashboard

The Dashboard is your home screen in ratl.ai Studio. It’s designed to do two things fast:

  1. Start a test (for modules that are enabled on your plan)

  2. View insights (only for enabled modules — the dashboard won’t show analytics for modules you can’t use)

Note: On Free and Pro, the dashboard only shows insights for the modules currently enabled for those plans. Right now, Web Test is enabled, so you’ll primarily see Web Test insights.


What you’ll see on the Dashboard

1) Test launcher (top section)

At the top, you’ll see a test entry area that lets you start a test without navigating anywhere else.

Module selector

You’ll see module tabs (example):

  • Web Test (enabled)

  • API Test / Load Test / App Review (may appear but will be disabled if not enabled on your plan)

If a module is not enabled, you won’t be able to start tests for it from the dashboard.

Prompt input (start a test)

You’ll see a prompt box where you can describe what you want to test.

Use it to write instructions like:

  • “Validate that the homepage loads and the main CTA works”

  • “Run an add-to-cart flow and confirm the cart updates”

  • “Check that login works and the user lands on the dashboard”

Execution configuration

In the launcher, you can also choose execution settings (as shown in the UI), such as:

  • Device (example: Desktop)

  • Browser (example: Chrome)

These control how your web test is executed.

Quick actions (icons)

You may see helpful controls near the prompt area such as:

  • Attachment (to add relevant context, when supported)

  • Voice input (microphone icon)

  • A send / run button to start the test

DeepProbe toggle (optional)

You may see an Enable DeepProbe toggle.

  • Keep it off if you want a standard run.

  • Turn it on when you want deeper investigation behavior (where applicable).

Prompt suggestions

Below the input area, you’ll see clickable suggestion chips (examples shown in the UI):

  • “Run an add to cart test on …”

  • “Run a video playback test on …”

  • “Run a test for flight discovery on …”

These are just shortcuts — click one to prefill a prompt and edit it.


2) Watch Demos dropdown (top-right)

On the top-right of the dashboard, you’ll see Watch Demos.

Use this when you’re new or you want a quick reminder of how to run tests.

  • Click Watch Demos

  • Select a demo video from the dropdown

  • Follow along inside Studio

This is intentionally placed on the dashboard so users don’t have to hunt through docs to begin.


Dashboard insights (enabled modules only)

The bottom section of the dashboard shows module insights, but only for modules that are enabled for your plan.

Web Test insights (currently enabled)

When Web Test is enabled, you’ll see a Web Test insights card that typically includes:

Time range filter

A time filter (example: Last 30 Days) controls the reporting window for what you’re seeing.

Use it when you want to:

  • check recent stability,

  • validate improvements after changes,

  • or confirm if failures are increasing over time.

Last run summary

You’ll see a “Last Run” snapshot such as:

  • the last tested URL

  • time taken for that run

This helps you quickly confirm the most recent execution context.

Key metrics (high signal, not noise)

You’ll see a small set of core metrics that summarize test outcomes, for example:

  • Steps taken by agent (how many steps the agent executed)

  • Assertions given by user (how many checks you asked for)

  • Passed assertions

  • Failed assertions

This is meant to be quick at-a-glance health, not a full report.

Visual summary

You’ll also see compact visuals like:

  • a run preview/screenshot for the last execution (when available)

  • a pass/fail summary chart showing:

    • Total tests

    • Passed vs Failed

If there were zero failures in the selected time range, the dashboard will reflect that.


Starting a test from the Dashboard (common flow)

  1. Go to the Dashboard

  2. Select an enabled module (example: Web Test)

  3. Describe your test in the prompt box

  4. Confirm execution settings (device/browser)

  5. Click Run

  6. Review results once execution completes (reports, video, assertions, etc.)


What happens when more modules are enabled?

The dashboard is module-aware:

  • When a new module becomes enabled for your plan, its test launcher and insights section will appear.

  • If a module is not enabled, you won’t see its analytics cluttering your dashboard.

This keeps the dashboard focused on what you can actually run today.
