Agent Context lets you give Decipher’s QA agent plain-language rules about your product’s expected behavior. This helps the agent distinguish real bugs from known quirks — like a staging environment that 403s on first load or a cookie consent popup that appears intermittently. Agent Context rules in project settings

​
Setup

Go to your project Settings > Testing tab. In the Agent Context section, click Add Rule and describe the behavior in plain language. Rules take effect immediately.

​
How It Works

Active rules are injected into the agent’s context during step validation and assertion validation. When the agent evaluates whether a step succeeded or an assertion passed, it checks its observations against your rules. Behaviors you’ve marked as expected are filtered out. Rules are interpreted with full reasoning — you don’t need exact string matches or CSS selectors. “The debug toolbar at the bottom of the screen” is enough.

Examples

​
Best Practices

  • Be specific — “Ignore the red banner on the checkout page” over “ignore red banners.”
  • Keep rules current — Remove rules when the behavior is fixed. Stale rules can mask real bugs.

​
Managing Rules

Click any rule to view, edit, or toggle it. Each rule shows its creation date and current status.
  • Toggle active/inactive — Only active rules are used during test runs.
  • Edit — Changes take effect on the next run.
  • Delete — Permanently remove a rule.
