Agent Cache is enabled by default for all tests. It stores AI reasoning from successful test runs and reuses those decisions when your pages haven’t changed - making subsequent runs faster.

​
Why It’s On by Default

Caching makes your tests faster. Each AI reasoning step takes 2-5 seconds - with caching enabled, those decisions are reused instantly when your pages haven’t changed. For stable pages - admin dashboards, settings screens, checkout flows - caching delivers significant speed improvements with no trade-offs.

​
How It Works

When a test runs, the AI analyzes each page, decides what action to take, and executes it. With caching enabled, these reasoning decisions are stored and reused on subsequent runs: 
Without Cache                      With Cache
─────────────────                  ─────────────────
1. Analyze page                    1. Check cache
2. AI decides action      →        2. Cache hit? Use stored decision
3. Execute action                  3. Execute action
4. Repeat...                       4. Repeat...
What gets cached: AI reasoning decisions - which element to click, what text to type, how to navigate. What still executes: All browser actions (clicks, typing), screenshots, page loads, and verification steps run normally every time. Cache invalidation: The system automatically detects when page content changes significantly and fetches fresh AI decisions. Failed test runs never save to cache, preventing “bad” reasoning patterns from persisting.

​
When to Disable Agent Cache

Most users never need to disable caching. Consider turning it off only when debugging flaky tests or testing brand-new features where you want fresh AI analysis every run.

​
How to Disable Agent Cache

1

Open test case editor

Navigate to Test Cases, select a test, and click Edit.
2

Open the Settings tab

In the sidebar, click the Settings tab (not “Steps”).
3

Find the Agent Cache section

Scroll down to locate the Agent Cache (BETA) section.
4

Disable caching

Uncheck Enable caching for this test and save your changes.

​
Limitations

Agent Cache is in BETA. While cache entries automatically invalidate when page content changes significantly, some minor UI updates may be missed.
  • Page content affects hit rate - Cache keys include visible page content, so pages with dynamic elements will naturally see lower hit rates
  • 30-day expiration - Unused cache entries expire after 30 days
  • Only successful runs cache - Failed tests never store decisions
