Kuika's Run feature allows you to easily preview the web application you are developing. This feature automatically builds and runs both front-end and back-end components. It also allows you to monitor your application in real time by setting up the test environment.
About the Run Process
Front-end and back-end are regenerated in each process.
Infrastructure setups are done automatically during the first Run. The first run may take some time.
Live test duration: The test environment created with Run is active for 72 hours (3 days). This time is reset with each new Run operation.
Starting the Run Process
Log in to the Kuika platform.
Select the project you want to test from the Apps screen.
Click on the three dots next to the Preview button at the top of the application screen.
Click the RUN button from the menu that opens.
When the run is complete, your application will be displayed in a new browser tab with a Header.
Header Section Details
Workspace and User Name: Shows user information and active workspace.
API URL: Provides access to your application's API documentation. When you click this button, a Swagger URL is created. You can access the API documentation by opening this URL in your browser.
WEB URL: Contains a preview link to the application under test. When you click this button, the link is automatically copied. You can run the link in your browser or share it with other users.

Pop-up Blocking and Preview
Kuika automatically makes the necessary adjustments to prevent pop-up blocking programs from blocking the test page.
You can enable other users to preview the application by sharing the link created with the WEB URL.
