Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Testifly and AI-powered end-to-end testing.
What is Testifly?
Testifly is an autonomous AI QA solution for web applications. Connect a URL and it discovers your app's real user flows on its own, builds QA for them, and runs it on every deploy — nobody writes a test case, a selector, or a briefing. It's built for teams of one to five people who don't have a dedicated QA engineer, and never had one to lose.
How does Testifly work?
You give Testifly a URL. Nothing else to define or brief — it explores the live application the way a real user would and maps the flows that actually exist (signup, checkout, invites, whatever's there), without anyone describing them in English, YAML, or a chat prompt. Those flows run on every deploy and on a schedule. When the product's behavior changes, Testifly adapts the flow; when only the UI changes, it heals the existing one — two different failure modes, so nothing decays unnoticed.
Do I need to write any code to use Testifly?
No. You provide a URL, not a description of what to test — Testifly discovers the app's real flows on its own rather than working from a spec you write. There's no test case, selector, or framework to touch, in any language, code or otherwise. That's the actual difference from tools that just make authoring easier: with Testifly there's nothing to author in the first place.
Do I have to talk to sales to use Testifly?
No. Testifly is self-serve from signup through billing - no demo call, no procurement conversation. Start with free Discovery (30 days, no card required): Testifly finds and maps every feature in your app, and tests your top 3 live against the real thing. Activate full coverage on Starter, Growth, or Business when you're ready, or check the guest environment and the no-signup readiness checker first if you want to see it work before creating an account.
How quickly can I get started with Testifly?
Sign up and enter your URL — there's no framework to install and nothing to configure first. Discovery runs on its own, and results are typically back in about 15 minutes. You can watch this happen before creating an account, on the no-signup readiness checker or the live guest environment.
What's the difference between Testifly's plans?
Starter ($29/month) covers one project - 50 automated tests, 5,000 monthly executions - enough for a single product's core flows. Growth ($89/month, the most popular tier) raises that to 225 tests and 50,000 executions, and is where Blast radius and the Jira, Linear, Notion, and Slack integrations turn on. Every plan, Starter included, connects to CI/CD through the Test Execution API. Business ($249/month) covers 2 projects at once - 750 tests, 200,000 executions - for teams running multiple products or client work. Enterprise is custom: on-prem execution, dedicated support, negotiated contract terms. Every plan starts with 30 days of free Discovery, so you see your Coverage Map before choosing a plan.
Which integrations does Testifly support?
Testifly integrates with Jira, Linear, Notion, and Slack - included on Growth and Business plans - and with standard CI/CD pipelines via the Test Execution API, included on every plan. You can create test features directly from Jira or Linear issues, receive failure notifications in Slack, and trigger test runs from any CI/CD system.
What types of tests does Testifly generate?
Testifly generates end-to-end tests that cover user flows, UI interactions, and feature functionality, plus regression tests to catch changes that break existing behavior. Discovery keeps running continuously, so new flows get picked up as your product evolves — not just at setup.
Can Testifly test applications with dynamic content or complex UIs?
Yes. Discovery handles dynamic content, single-page applications, and complex interfaces — it identifies elements, interactions, and state changes to build flows that reflect how a real user actually moves through the app.
What happens if a feature changes?
Testifly automatically detects changes in your application's features and updates the relevant tests to match the new state. This ensures that your tests remain accurate and reliable without manual intervention.
What does "self-healing" mean in the context of Testifly?
Self-healing means that when a UI change causes a test selector or flow to break, or when the feature changes, Testifly automatically detects the change and updates the test to match the new state of the application. This eliminates the ongoing maintenance burden that makes traditional test suites brittle at scale.
How does Testifly handle test failures?
When a test fails, Testifly captures a video recording of the failure, provides a root-cause analysis, and — where possible — distinguishes between a real regression and a test that needs updating due to a UI change. You get actionable failure reports, not just red/green status.
How is Testifly different from Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium?
Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium are frameworks that require engineers to write and maintain test scripts. Testifly replaces that manual effort entirely — the AI generates, runs, and maintains tests autonomously. You get the coverage of a script-based suite without the authoring or maintenance cost.
Is Testifly suitable for teams without a dedicated QA engineer?
Yes — it's built specifically for that gap. At a one-to-five-person company, QA was never a budget decision that lost; it was never on the table to begin with. Testifly gives you QA nobody had the hours to build, without adding a hire or a part-time job to someone's plate.
Does Testifly use Testifly?
Yes. Testifly runs continuous end-to-end QA against its own product, live. You can watch it happen by logging in as a guest at app.testifly.dev/guest.
