Simulation Loop

Understanding the simulation lifecycle helps you optimize test runs and interpret results.

Phase 1: Initialization (0-30s)

• Agents are spawned with assigned personas
• Initial page loads and screenshots captured
• Baseline metrics established

Phase 2: Warm-up (30s-2m)

• Agents explore the environment freely
• Navigation patterns are learned
• Common paths are identified

Phase 3: Task Execution (2m-10m)

• Agents attempt to achieve their assigned goals
• Interactions are logged in detail
• Friction points are identified
• Success/failure rates tracked

Phase 4: Teardown (10m+)

• Agents complete their sessions
• Data is aggregated and analyzed
• Reports are generated
• Heatmaps and funnels created
