Frequently Asked Questions About Codien
How do credits work with Codien subscription packs?
Credits are consumed per test file converted—not per line or character. Simple unit-like e2e specs use 1 credit; complex tests with nested async logic, custom waits, or embedded screenshots use 2–3. Standard packs start at 100 credits (enough for ~100 average Protractor specs); Enterprise packs include priority support, bulk discount tiers, and dedicated migration consulting. Unused credits roll over—no expiration, no minimum monthly usage.
Which test frameworks does Codien support for conversion?
Codien currently supports end-to-end migration from Protractor (v5–v7) and Selenium WebDriver (Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python) to Playwright (TypeScript & JavaScript). Support includes framework-specific patterns: Protractor’s browser.waitForAngular(), element(by.css()); Selenium’s WebDriverWait, Actions class, and Page Object Model conventions—all intelligently mapped to Playwright equivalents with contextual optimization.
Does Codien send test files or sensitive data to the cloud?
No—never. Codien processes everything locally on your machine. The desktop app contains all AI models, parsers, and generators. No internet connection is required for core conversion. Optional features like community pattern sharing or anonymized usage telemetry require explicit opt-in—and even then, no source code, selectors, or test data is transmitted.
Can I try Codien before purchasing credits?
Absolutely. Start your free trial instantly—no credit card required. Convert up to 10 test files with full access to the side-by-side editor, natural language authoring, and dashboard analytics. Export converted tests, run them in your local Playwright environment, and validate accuracy against your application. If it meets your standards, unlock unlimited conversion with your first credit pack—risk-free.
What operating systems are supported for the Codien desktop app?
Codien runs natively on Windows 10+, macOS 12+, and major Linux distributions (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, RHEL 8+). All versions share identical UI, functionality, and security guarantees—ensuring consistent migration quality whether your team uses M1 MacBooks, Windows DevOps VMs, or Ubuntu-based CI runners.
