HOW RECUS WORKS
Page understanding
Before testing a button, Recus needs to understand the page around it. This stage turns what the browser can observe into a working picture of the product.
What Recus reads
- The visual page
- Screenshots help Recus understand layout, visible text, feedback, and the relationship between controls. Scrolling helps it account for content beyond the first screen.
- Accessible structure
- Roles and names help distinguish a button, input, link, or menu. This structure complements the screenshot; appearance alone does not explain how a control behaves.
- Control behavior and context
- Recus can inspect how controls are exposed and probe supported interactions. It also considers the page URL, title, available context, and pages already studied in the run.
From observation to a working brief
Identify the page’s purpose
For example, a screen with an email field, password field, and Create account button appears to be a registration page.
Describe likely user goals
Recus identifies the main task and the feedback a user would expect. That gives the test planner context beyond a list of isolated controls.
Carry uncertainty forward
If a custom control is ambiguous or a capability inspection is unavailable, the planner has less evidence. A plausible interpretation is still an assumption for your team to review.
What page understanding cannot know
A browser view does not reveal your private business rules, database truth, or intended behavior for every account type. Recus may infer that an email should be required, but it cannot infer an unpublished eligibility rule with certainty.
Clear labels, helpful validation messages, and a reachable test environment make the observed context more useful. Review the generated expectations whenever the intended behavior is specific to your product.
Understanding is not a verdict
