Test Lab

Test Lab is A²D’s in-app testing hub for running suites, exploring assets with collaborators, and viewing execution history.

Overview

Access Test Lab from the sidebar under Test Lab. It provides three tabs:

• Execution — Run test suites against MCP servers and Agent Cards
• Exploratory — Create and manage exploratory sessions for shared exploration
• Test Runs — View execution history, status, and results

Execution

Run test suites against your MCP and Agent Card endpoints:

• Select a suite and execute all tests
• Results are saved and viewable in Test Runs
• Supports both MCP protocol and A2A protocol validation

Note: Test case and suite design happens in Testing Framework (A2TF).

Test Runs

View past executions with filters:

• Status (passed, failed, running)
• Asset (MCP server or Agent Card)
• Date and time
• Tools and data used

Open individual runs for detailed reports.

Exploratory Sessions

Exploratory sessions let you share MCP servers and Agent Cards with external users for hands-on exploration without requiring A²D accounts.

Creating a Session

1. Go to Test Lab > Exploratory
2. Click Create Session
3. Enter name, description, and expiry date
4. Add MCP servers and Agent Cards as assets (with optional environment)
5. Add invites by email
6. Activate the session

Session Lifecycle

Invites

• Add users by email; they receive access when the session is active
• Invite status: pending or accepted
• Each invite is unique per session and email

Share Token

Active sessions have a share token. External users can access the session via a share link (token-based URL).

Platform MCP

AI agents can manage exploratory sessions via Platform MCP tools: create_exploratory_session, add_asset_to_session, remove_asset_from_session, add_invite_to_session, remove_invite_from_session, activate_exploratory_session, and related tools.

Next Steps

• Testing Framework (A2TF) — Design tests and suites
• Platform MCP — Automate exploratory sessions and runs
• MCP Servers — Create servers to test

Test Lab brings execution, exploration, and history together in one place.
