Solutions
1. Reduce Test Scope
- Start with Quick Test instead of Comprehensive
- Select fewer test scenarios for initial testing
- Test with a smaller subset of probes
2. Check System Performance
- Monitor AI application response times
- Verify sufficient system resources
- Check for concurrent testing or high system load
3. Optimize Configuration
- Increase timeout settings if appropriate
- Adjust test intensity to conservative level
- Review prompt complexity and length
#
Problem: Unexpected Test Results
Symptoms
- Tests showing failures that seem incorrect
- Inconsistent results between test runs
- False positive alerts
Solutions
1. Verify AI Application Behavior
- Test your AI application independently
- Check for recent changes or updates
- Verify application is functioning normally
2. Review Test Configuration
- Ensure selected test scenarios are appropriate
- Check test intensity and parameters
- Verify application type configuration
3. Analyze Specific Failures
- Review individual test failures in detail
- Check if failures are legitimate security concerns
- Compare results with baseline behavior
#
Problem: No Test Results or Empty Reports
Symptoms
- Tests complete but show no results
- Empty or incomplete reports
- Missing data in dashboards
Solutions
- Verify test actually executed successfully
- Check for filtering that might hide results
- Review test scope and scenario selection
- Contact support if data appears to be missing
#
Authentication and Access Issues
#
Problem: Cannot Log Into Teev Platform
Symptoms
- Login failures with correct credentials
- Account lockout messages
- "User not found" errors
Solutions
1. Password Issues
- Use password reset functionality
- Check for caps lock or keyboard layout issues
- Verify email address is correct
2. Account Status
- Check if account is active and not suspended
- Verify email address has been confirmed
- Contact admin if using enterprise SSO
3. Browser Issues
- Clear browser cache and cookies
- Try different browser or incognito mode
- Disable browser extensions that might interfere
#
Problem: Permission Denied Errors
Symptoms
- "Access denied" when trying to run tests
- Cannot view certain reports or applications
- Missing menu options or features
Solutions
- Check your assigned role and permissions
- Contact team admin to verify access rights
- Ensure you're accessing the correct organization
- Review application-specific permissions
#
Performance Issues
#
Problem: Slow Dashboard Loading
Symptoms
- Long loading times for dashboards
- Timeouts when viewing reports
- Slow response to user interactions
Solutions
- Check internet connection speed and stability
- Clear browser cache and refresh page
- Try accessing during off-peak hours
- Reduce date range for large reports
#
Problem: API Rate Limiting
Symptoms
- "Rate limit exceeded" error messages
- Throttled API responses
- Delayed test execution
Solutions
- Review your API usage and quotas
- Spread testing across longer time periods
- Consider upgrading plan for higher limits
- Implement exponential backoff in automated testing
#
Data and Reporting Issues
#
Problem: Missing Historical Data
Symptoms
- Gaps in historical reporting
- Previous test results not showing
- Incomplete trend analysis
Solutions
- Check data retention settings and policies
- Verify you're looking at correct time ranges
- Ensure filters aren't excluding relevant data
- Contact support for data recovery assistance
#
Problem: Export/Download Failures
Symptoms
- Cannot download reports or data exports
- Corrupted or incomplete downloads
- Export timeouts or errors
Solutions
- Try smaller date ranges for large exports
- Use different file formats (CSV vs PDF)
- Check browser download settings and permissions
- Ensure sufficient disk space for downloads
#
Integration Issues
#
Problem: Webhook Notifications Not Working
Symptoms
- Missing notifications for completed tests
- Webhook endpoint not receiving data
- Incomplete or malformed webhook payloads
Solutions
1. Verify Webhook Configuration
- Check webhook URL is correct and accessible
- Verify authentication settings if required
- Test webhook endpoint independently
2. Check Network Connectivity
- Ensure webhook endpoint is publicly accessible
- Verify firewall allows incoming webhooks
- Check for SSL/TLS certificate issues
3. Review Webhook Logs
- Check Teev webhook delivery logs
- Review your endpoint logs for incoming requests
- Verify payload format matches expectations
#
Problem: CI/CD Integration Failures
Symptoms
