+# Tauri API with TestDriver.ai
+
+Hello! I'm going to show you how to create a new [TestDriver.ai](http://TestDriver.ai) regression test and implement it into the TestDriver.ai github action, specifically for the Tauri API Validation app.
+
+## How it works
+
+In the Tauri repo there is a directory called '**testdriver**' which holds all of our created TestDriver.ai regression tests.
+
+Right now, the file .github/workflows/test-build-windows.yml is our main TestDrivier. workflow for building and testing the Tauri API validation application.
+
+TestDriver.ai github action uses this workflow to spin up an ephemeral VM, open the app, and test it by starting up a local TestDriver.ai agent and using our regression tests passed into the workflow file from the '**testdriver**' directory. (Reference testdrivers workflow docs [here](https://docs.testdriver.ai/continuous-integration/github-setup)).
+
+Of course, before being able to test the API example app we need to build and install the app on our VM. Which already happens in our [prerun script](https://docs.testdriver.ai/continuous-integration/prerun-scripts) in the workflow.
+
+In the workflow, we can see `/run` commands under the `prompt:` we use these to run our tests sequentially after the app has been built and launched ([parallel testing](https://docs.testdriver.ai/continuous-integration/parallel-testing) can also be done).
+
+## Creating regression tests
+
+After [installing TestDriver.ai](https://docs.testdriver.ai/overview/installing-via-npm) on your local machine, navigate to the root of your local Tauri repo.
+
+Once at the root, it may be beneficial to select your desired preferences for TestDriver.ai by using `testdriverai init` ,there you can select whether to receive desktop notifications, minimize the terminal when creating tests (this helps TestDriver.ai resolve quicker), and more.
+
+Then use `testdriverai testdriver/[new test name].yml` to create a new test within the '**testdriver'** directory.
+
+Now, TestDriver.ai should start and be awaiting a prompt. So, let's open the Tauri API validation app, and place it next to our terminal, and begin creating a test.
+
+If we give TestDriver.ai a prompt like '**click the Communication tab in the sidebar**', TestDriver.ai will do so, and give us something like this resulting YAML.
+
+```
+  - prompt: click the Communication tab in the sidebar
+    commands:
+      - command: hover-text
+        text: Communication
+        description: >-
+          Communication tab in the sidebar of the Tauri API Validation
+          application
+        action: click
+
+```
+
+When we give another prompt, like '**click the spam button**', TestDriver.ai will generate something like:
+
+```
+  - prompt: Click the Spam button
+    commands:
+      - command: hover-text
+        text: Spam
+        description: >-
+          Spam button in the Communication section of the
+          Tauri API Validation application
+        action: click
+
+```
+
+And then automatically append it to our previously generated YAML!
+
+([CLI commands](https://docs.testdriver.ai/reference/cli-commands) like `/undo` and `assert` are also important!)
+
+We can do `/save` to ensure our YAML is saved. Then we can run the regression test we've just created with `/run testdriver/[new test name].yml` just like how the prompts are being run in the workflow file.
+
+If we want to implement this test into our github action workflow, all we have to do is add the `/run testdriver/[new test name].yml` under a `prompt:` in the workflow. ([workflow doc](https://docs.testdriver.ai/continuous-integration/github-setup))
