Describe flows instead of coding them.
Write the test case steps and the expected result in plain language — that is how you convert a manual test case to automation. BuniOD matches each step to your pages and adds the checks.
Review before anything runs.
Every generated scenario waits for your confirmation. Adjust input values or regenerate from an updated prompt.
Less locator upkeep.
When an element moves, BuniOD tries stored locators, element fingerprints and AI matching before a step fails — reducing repair work after interface changes.
Clear evidence when something fails.
Each failed run shows the step or check that failed, an explanation, a screenshot and console and network logs.
How to automate manual test cases with BuniOD
No new framework to adopt: an automation tool for manual testing that sits beside your team and takes over writing and replaying scenarios.
01
Connect a staging environment
Add your staging URL. Use HTTP basic auth for protected environments and test identities for signed-in flows.
02
Write down the steps you check by hand
Turn the regression checklist you run by hand or keep in manual testing tools into precise plain-language steps, one flow at a time.
03
Review and confirm
Read each generated scenario, adjust values or regenerate, and confirm the ones you want to keep.
04
Group and schedule
Organize scenarios into business processes and let them run daily, or start a run whenever you need one.
05
Triage with evidence
Open a failed run to see the failed step, the explanation, the screenshot and the logs — then decide whether it is a bug or a scenario to update.
Step by step
How to automate manual testing with AI: from test case to reviewed scenario
Automating a manual test case with BuniOD is mostly a writing job, and your test case already holds most of it: a list of steps. BuniOD needs those steps written precisely — the labels as they appear on the page, the values to type, where to wait and what to check — plus the result that proves the case passed. Below is the whole path for one case, from a spreadsheet row to a scenario that BuniOD, a test automation platform for web apps, runs every day. Our guide on how to automate manual test cases covers the same method in more depth, for any tool.
1. Pick the cases worth automating first
Start with stable, high-impact cases that you re-run every release and that have a clear pass or fail: sign-up, sign-in, password reset, the main paid flow. Leave cases that need visual or usability judgement, one-off checks and features that still change every sprint for later — or keep them manual.
2. Keep the steps, make them exact
A manual case is usually a numbered list of clicks with a vague expected outcome such as “password changed successfully”. Keep the list — it becomes your prompt — but make every step unambiguous: name buttons and fields exactly as they appear on the page, give the value to type, and say what to confirm before moving on. “Log in” becomes three steps: fill in the email, fill in the password, click “Sign in”.
3. Write the prompt: steps and an expected result
Group the steps into short sections such as log in, do the action and check the result. Use a test identity for emails and passwords, attach any file the flow uploads, and add a wait after anything slow, such as an email or a payment. The expected result is one or two things you can observe at the end: a URL, a heading, a message, an email in the inbox. A precise expected result is what turns a demo into a test. Our guide to writing prompts for test generation has full examples.
4. Generate the scenario, then review it like a test case
BuniOD works through your steps in a browser on your staging environment, matches each one to a real element on the page and records the checks. Read the result and ask two questions: could this pass while the feature is broken, and could it fail while the feature works? If a step was matched to the wrong element, word it more precisely and regenerate; if a value is wrong, adjust the input value. Nothing runs until a person confirms the scenario.
5. Plan the data and the order
Signed-in flows use HTTP basic auth or a test identity. A test identity has its own inbox, so the scenario can open and check the emails your application sends. Group scenarios that depend on each other into a business process — sign-up before password reset, for example — so a dependent scenario is skipped when an earlier one fails.
What to keep manual
Automation takes over re-clicking the cases that pass every release; it does not replace testing. Exploratory sessions, usability and visual judgement, and deciding what matters in a new feature stay with people, and they get more of your time once the repetition is gone. AI for manual testers looks at how the role changes, and manual QA vs AI testing compares where each one is stronger.
Worked example
One manual test case, automated
A password-reset case from a regression spreadsheet: the same steps, made exact, and the scenario BuniOD built from them.
Manual test case · TC-114 Password reset
- Open the sign-in page.
- Click “Forgot password?”.
- Enter the registered email and submit.
- Open the mailbox and click the reset link.
- Enter a new password twice and save.
- Sign in with the new password.
Expected: Password is changed successfully.
Prompt: the same steps, made exact
// Request a reset 1. Click on "Sign in", then on "Forgot password?" 2. Fill in the "Email" field with the email from "Test Customer" 3. Click on "Send reset link" 4. Wait for 10 seconds // Set a new password 5. Open the newest email in the inbox of "Test Customer" and click on "Reset password" 6. Fill in "New password" and "Repeat password" with "Reset!2026" 7. Click on "Save" and wait for 2 seconds // Sign in with it 8. Fill in the email from "Test Customer" and the password "Reset!2026" 9. Click on "Sign in" and wait for 2 seconds
Expected result
The dashboard opens and its header shows the name of “Test Customer”.
Steps matched on the page
- Click “Sign in” (header link), then “Forgot password?”
- Type the test identity’s email into “Email”
- Click “Send reset link” and wait 10 seconds
- Open the newest email in the test inbox and click “Reset password”
- Type “Reset!2026” into both password fields and click “Save”
- Sign in with the test identity’s email and the new password
Checks
- A reset email arrives in the test inbox
- The reset link opens the new-password form
- The dashboard header shows the account’s name
What the review changed
- The tester started from the spreadsheet steps and made each one exact: button labels as they appear on the page, the test identity instead of a personal email, and a wait after the email is sent.
- The vague “password is changed successfully” became an observable result: signing in with the new password opens the dashboard with the account’s name.
- The new password was set to meet the application’s password rules, and the scenario was placed after sign-up in the same business process.

Questions, answered
How do you automate manual testing with AI?
Write each manual test case as precise plain-language steps — exact button and field labels, the values to type, waits and checks — plus an observable expected result. An AI tool such as BuniOD matches those steps to your pages and turns them into a browser scenario with checks; a tester reviews it, adjusts values or regenerates it, and confirms it. Confirmed scenarios then run on demand or on a daily schedule, and each failure comes with a screenshot and logs.
Do AI tools for manual testers make manual testing obsolete?
No. They take over the repetitive part — re-clicking the same test cases every release. Exploratory testing, deciding what to test and judging whether a result makes sense stay with people, and in BuniOD a person confirms every generated scenario before it runs.
What should we look for in automation tools for manual testing?
Three things: the people who know the test cases can write them without code, a person reviews each generated test before it runs, and every failure comes with evidence — the failed step, a screenshot and logs. BuniOD is built around those three.
How is BuniOD different from other AI tools for QA automation testing?
Many tools start from test code or a recorded session. BuniOD starts from a plain-language prompt — your test steps and the expected result — and builds a complete scenario with checks for your team to review. Confirmed scenarios run in a real browser on demand or once a day.
Can we import our existing test cases from a spreadsheet or test management tool?
Not yet. There is no import, but you can paste the steps of a case into the prompt and make each one exact — labels, values, waits and checks — which is the rewrite you would do anyway to automate it well. Start with the handful of cases that would stop a release, and add more once those run reliably.
Do testers need to learn selectors or a programming language?
No. Scenarios are created from plain language and read as steps, so the people who know the test cases can write and review them. What stays essential is testing skill: choosing what to check and stating what proves it worked. Our guide on test scenarios vs test cases explains the shift from clicks to intent.
What can’t it test yet?
Runs use desktop Chromium, so Firefox, Safari, mobile browsers and native mobile apps are not covered. There is no CI/CD trigger, public API or Jira integration yet — runs start on demand or on the daily schedule. BuniOD checks web UI flows end to end; it is not built for unit, API or load testing.
