Cloud Platform Overview
The TestRelic cloud platform is the web application that centralizes all your test analytics, AI-driven insights, monitoring dashboards, and third-party integrations in one place.
What is the cloud platform?
While the @testrelic/playwright-analytics reporter runs locally alongside your tests and generates structured JSON output, the cloud platform is where that data lives, is visualized, and is acted on. It is the SaaS layer that transforms raw test logs into meaningful signals for your engineering team.

Key concepts
Organizations
Every TestRelic account belongs to an organization. All repositories, test runs, integrations, and AI conversations belong to the organization and are shared across team members.
Repositories
A repository in TestRelic maps to one test project (typically one Git repository). Repositories are the top-level grouping for test runs, navigation graphs, and health metrics.
Test Runs and Sessions
A test run is a single execution of your test suite — one invocation of playwright test. Each run contains one or more sessions (individual test cases). The platform captures:
- Pass/fail/flaky status per session
- Step-by-step execution timeline
- Network requests and console output
- Video recordings (when available)
- CI environment context (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI)
Feature Flags
Some platform features (Monitoring, Integrations) are controlled by PostHog feature flags at the organizational level. Contact your administrator if a section is not visible in your navigation.
Accessing the platform
Navigate to testrelic.ai and sign in with your email and password. New users are guided through an onboarding wizard that sets up your profile and first repository connection.

The fastest way to get value from the platform is to connect a repository using an API key. Follow the Getting Started guide to generate an API key and configure the reporter.
