Quickstart
Let’s get a test running. Three minutes, no setup, nothing to install.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”You need:
- A Marriska account (sign up — Free plan, no card)
- A modern browser
That’s it. Tests run in the cloud on Free, so there’s nothing local to install for this tutorial.
-
Sign in and open Tests
After signup you’ll land on the Dashboard. Click Tests in the top nav (or the bottom bar on mobile).
-
Create a new test
Click New Test in the explorer sidebar (or right-click the explorer and pick New Test from the context menu). Give it a name and confirm.
-
Describe the test in plain English
The editor opens with a description box. Paste this in:
Open https://example.comCheck that "Example Domain" is visible on the pageTake a screenshotClick Generate Steps. The parser turns each line into a structured action — you’ll see the steps appear underneath the description.
-
Run it
Click Run Test. Pick Chromium (or all three browsers if you want). Step events stream back live — green checkmarks, durations, and screenshots fill in as Playwright works through the steps.
-
Open the report
When the run finishes, the Reports page has the row you just created. Click it for the full per-step view: status, screenshots, timing, and a stable URL you can share with anyone in your org.
What just happened
Section titled “What just happened”You wrote three sentences and Marriska:
- Translated each into a Playwright action (
page.goto,expect().toBeVisible,page.screenshot) - Spun up a real Chromium browser in the cloud
- Ran the steps, captured screenshots at each one
- Persisted everything as a shareable report
No Selenium grid, no WebDriver setup, no Node install.
