A Mo session takes the same kind of brief in every case below. What changes is the target, the source of the brief, and when the pass runs.

When to use Mo

Bug bash a release

Point Mo at a staging or preview build with the release scope. Mo plans the cases, runs them in parallel, and files the bugs it reproduced. Use it where the team has no suite for the pass and nobody free to run it by hand.

Start a run from a prompt

Mo asks for anything it still needs, then plans the cases itself.

Schedule repeated runs

Use a schedule for a nightly pass of the main flows. Each occurrence starts a new session from the same prompt. See repeat a session on a schedule.

Run Mo on a pull request

With the Momentic GitHub App installed, Mo takes the preview URL for the branch and scopes the session to the change. Use it on every change, and keep a scheduled session for the wider coverage. See use GitHub context.

What to point Mo at

Test a mobile app

Upload the build to a channel and tag as you do for a Momentic mobile test, then select it in the composer. Give no URL, and describe the flows and accounts instead. Mo installs the build on a remote simulator or emulator. See iOS app setup and Android emulators.

Test from an existing spec or test plan

Start a session, upload the plan to it, then point Mo at the uploaded file:
Mo derives the cases from the document. A Confluence page works the same way once Atlassian is connected.

Use read-only repository context

Connect a GitHub repository, then name the change instead of describing it:
Mo reads the repository as read-only context.

Test a Vercel preview

Connect Vercel in settings > Integrations, leave deployment protection on, and give the preview URL in the brief:
Mo tests the deployment you name, so a preview run leaves production alone. See test a protected target.

Test a local branch

Start a tunnel for the local branch:
Use the tunnel ID with mo start, and keep http://localhost:3000 as the exact URL in the brief. See test a local build through a tunnel. Some ways of running Mo are not available yet. See not available yet.
