# KaneAI Knowledge Base The KaneAI Knowledge Base is your go-to resource for writing effective test cases, handling complex testing scenarios, and getting the most out of KaneAI's natural language automation. Whether you're authoring your first test or working around advanced edge cases, these guides provide practical, scenario-driven instructions with real-world examples. ## Authoring Guides Start here to learn how to write reliable test instructions for any scenario — from finding elements on the page to handling complex form interactions. - **[Element Interactions](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-kb-finding-and-interacting-with-elements/)** Target elements precisely using text, type, position, and context cues. Covers scrolling, tab management, hover, and drag-and-drop. - **[Forms & Inputs](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-kb-forms-inputs-and-data-entry/)** Handle text inputs, dropdowns, date pickers, checkboxes, file uploads, OTP fields, sliders, autocomplete, and multi-step form wizards. - **[Assertions Guide](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-kb-assertions-and-validation/)** Write reliable assertions for text, visual elements, URLs, layout, and math. Includes do's and don'ts, variable-based assertions, and failure configuration. - **[Waits & Timing](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-kb-dynamic-content-waits-and-page-state/)** Handle loading spinners, toast notifications, modals, infinite scroll, lazy loading, and async content with the right wait strategy. - **[Mobile Patterns](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-kb-mobile-app-testing-patterns/)** Android & iOS specific patterns — keyboard handling, OTP fields, native pickers, gestures, deep links, permission dialogs, and spannable text. ## Advanced Testing Guides for complex testing scenarios involving authentication, API validation, and workarounds for natural language limitations. - **[Authentication & Sessions](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-kb-authentication-and-session-management/)** Test login flows, TOTP/MFA with native smart variables, session persistence, logout, and timeout handling. Includes reusable login modules. - **[API & Network](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-kb-api-testing-and-network-assertions/)** Make API calls via curl, validate responses with JSON variables, assert network logs, and combine API + UI testing in a single flow. - **[JS Workarounds](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-kb-js-snippets-and-workarounds/)** When natural language isn't enough — JS snippets for date pickers, CSS validation, string manipulation, table cells, and more. - **[Failure Conditions](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kaneai-failure-conditions/)** Configure how assertion failures behave — fail immediately, fail and continue, or warn and continue. Set defaults at organization or step level. ## Variables and Parameters Manage dynamic data, secrets, and parameterized test inputs. - **[Variables](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kane-ai-using-variables/)** Create and use local, global, and environment variables. Store values from the application and reuse them across test steps and executions. - **[Secrets](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kane-ai-secrets/)** Securely stored sensitive data (e.g., passwords, API tokens) encrypted via HashiCorp Vault. Never exposed in logs or generated code. - **[Smart Variables](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kane-ai-smart-variables/)** Predefined dynamic variables for dates, randomization, device info, and system details. Use `{{smart.current_date}}`, `{{smart.random_email}}`, and more. - **[Parameters](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kane-ai-using-parameters/)** Values passed into test cases at runtime to customize test execution for different configurations or environments. - **[Datasets](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kane-ai-using-datasets/)** Collections of test data used for data-driven testing, allowing you to run the same test with different inputs. ## Reference - **[Command Types](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kane-ai-command-guide/)** Complete reference of all supported KaneAI commands — navigation, clicks, typing, waits, tab management, scrolling, assertions, conditional logic, and queries. - **[Code Generation](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/kane-ai-automation-code-generation/)** Generate automation scripts from KaneAI tests in multiple frameworks and languages including Selenium (Python), Appium (Python), and more. - **[Error Handling](https://www.lambdatest.com/support/docs/error-handling-kaneai/)** Understand error messages in KaneAI, what they mean, and how to resolve common issues during test authoring and execution. ## Quick Start Guide New to KaneAI?
