Quickstart

User From zero to a passing test in a few minutes.

MaxTAF gives you two main ways to build a test. Pick whichever fits how you think — you can mix them later. Both paths assume you've signed in at mx1.maxtaf.com (or your on-prem URL) and opened a project.

Step 0 — Sign in and open a project

Go to mx1.maxtaf.com and sign in (or register from the sign-in screen).
On the projects screen, open a project — or create one with the + button.
You land on the project Home dashboard. Everything below happens under Dev ▸ Workspace.

🤖

Path A — Describe it

Write the test in plain English and let an AI agent run it. Best for getting going fast and for exploratory checks.

⏺️

Path B — Record it

Click through the app while the recorder captures your actions into a reusable MXML test. Best for precise, repeatable regression.

Path A — Write an AI test case

In Dev ▸ Workspace, on the List tab, click Create. Name it, choose the AI type, and confirm.

On the Script tab, write your steps in plain English — one action per line:

Navigate to https://your-maximo/.../index.html#/main
Login with username "marko" and password "…".
Go to the Work Order Tracking application.
Create a new work order.
Verify the Status field shows "WAPPR".
Report what was checked.

Save, then press Run and confirm. Watch the browser live in the run panel.
When it finishes, open the run and read Console output to see exactly what the AI did.

Path B — Record a test

Install the MaxTAF Recorder Chrome extension and, in its Configuration, set your MaxTAF URL, Project ID and API key (from Admin ▸ User Settings).
Open the recorder side panel, click record, and use Maximo normally — log in, open an application, create a record.
Right-click a field and choose Assert ▸ assertValue to add a check.
Click record again to stop, then Create MaxTAF Case, give it a name and Export.
The case appears in your Workspace as an MXML case — press Run to replay it, with no AI cost.

The best of both

For Maximo, run an AI case with recording on: the AI figures out the flow once, and hands you a deterministic MXML case for your regression suite. See Capturing MXML.
