What Pathfinder does
Pathfinder is an autonomous UI test exploration tool. Rather than running a script you wrote, it explores your application on its own — clicking through screens, following flows and mapping the UI — to surface paths that aren't covered by your existing tests. It's exploratory testing that runs itself.
How autonomous UI exploration works
- Point it at your app — open Pathfinder on the site you want explored.
- Let it explore — it navigates screens and flows automatically, building a map as it goes.
- Find the gaps — see untested paths and edge flows you can then cover deliberately.
Who it's for
QA engineers and teams who want to find coverage gaps and unexpected states without scripting every path first. Pair it with FlowScribe to turn a discovered flow into a concrete, runnable UI test script. Free on the Chrome Web Store; works in any Chromium browser.
FAQ
Do I have to write a script? No — exploration is autonomous; you don't pre-script the paths.
How is it different from FlowScribe? FlowScribe records a flow you perform into a script; Pathfinder discovers flows on its own.
Is it free? Yes, free on the Chrome Web Store.
