Prerequisites:
Created Test Project
Overview
Test Assets are critical resources in Thunders that allow you to upload, manage, and utilize files needed for your test executions. This guide will walk you through the basic operations of uploading, downloading, editing, and deleting test assets.
Uploading a Test Asset
Navigate to the Test Assets tab in the sidebar
Click on the 'Upload Test Asset' button
Wait for the modal to appear
Upload your file (or multiple files at once) in the modal
💡 Best Practice: Use clear, descriptive names for your Test Assets to make them easily identifiable.
Referencing a Test Asset
To reference a test asset inside a test step:
Navigate to your test step editor
Type
/filewhere you want to insert the asset referenceA file picker will appear showing your uploaded test assets
Select the desired file from the picker
The file reference will be automatically inserted as a token in this format:
[FILE_BASENAME_EXT]
For example, if you select a file named "my_photo.png", it will be inserted as [FILE_MY_PHOTO_PNG] in your test step.
What kind of assertions can be performed on Test Assets?
After referencing a test asset, you can write assertions in plain language to validate it.
Common assertions include:
File properties: "File size is less than 5 MB" or "File format is PDF"
Text content: "CSV contains a row with email [email protected]" or "JSON has property 'status' with value 'success'"
Visual content: "Image contains a red button" or "Screenshot shows a login form"
Downloading a Test Asset

Click the action menu represented by the three dots icon in the Actions column
