Session compile takes your raw device interactions and uses AI to generate structured, natural-language test steps. Explore your app freely, then let Revyl turn that exploration into a test you can run again. Raw device actions flow through an AI pipeline to produce structured test steps

​
How It Works

  1. Start a session and interact with your app normally
  2. Stop the session (or let it idle-timeout)
  3. From the sessions history, click Convert to test on any session that has recorded actions
  4. Revyl’s AI analyzes your actions, groups them into logical steps, and generates natural-language instructions
  5. Review the generated steps in the editor. Edit, reorder, or delete anything that doesn’t look right.
  6. Click Create new test or Save as module

​
The Compile Pipeline

The compile runs through several stages: Queued > Preparing > Summarizing > Merging > Formatting > Complete Each stage shows progress. If you close the modal while it’s running, a badge appears so you can come back to it.

​
Reviewing Results

The review panel shows each generated step with:
  • Step type (instruction, validation, manual) that you can toggle
  • Description in plain English, editable inline
  • Confidence score from the AI
You can also:
  • Retry with feedback if the results aren’t right (“focus on the login flow”, “ignore the settings detour”)
  • Copy as YAML for use in CI/CD
  • Save as module to reuse the steps across tests

​
Partial Compile

You don’t have to compile the entire session. Select a time range to compile just a portion, which is useful for long exploratory sessions where only part is relevant.

​
When to Use This

  • You’re exploring a new feature and want to turn that exploration into a regression test
  • A QA team member found a bug manually and wants to create a reproducible test
  • You want to bootstrap tests quickly without writing steps from scratch
