Here's what actually covers your app right now.
Not in a bug tracker - in an abandoned checkout, a churned signup, a support thread you see three days later. This is the real incumbent, and it's rarely said out loud.
Manually, undocumented, usually the night before a release - by the person who wrote the code and can't see it fresh anymore.
Not a decision. A repo with three tests in it from a Tuesday in March, and nobody's touched it since.
Feels free. Isn't - the agent that wrote the feature is now grading its own homework.
$100k–200k a year, for a role a three-person company was never going to open.
Most are demo-gated, built for a team an order of magnitude bigger than yours, or both.

| Feature | Testifly discovers & runs itself | Playwright Agents agent-managed suite | AI tools Claude, Copilot - scripted, AI-assisted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | 2 min - connect a URL | Moderate - seed tests per suite | High - SDK + config |
| Test creation | Finds flows on its own | Agent writes plans + code | You script the logic |
| Cost over time | Minimal - nothing to maintain | High - manual plan review | Very high - orchestration |
| On failure | Root cause + video, automatic | Manual triage by an engineer | Manual debugging |
| Where it runs | Hosted - we run every test | You manage the infrastructure | You manage the infrastructure |
| Ongoing upkeep | Zero - heals itself | Medium - human approves fixes | High - human prompts fixes |
| Who it's for | Anyone - no code needed | SDETs already on Playwright | Devs, a handful of tests |
Every alternative above - Playwright, a coding agent, most vendors - still needs someone to say what to test: a YAML file, a plain-English brief, a prompt in a chat window. That's authoring with extra steps. It still decays the moment nobody's watching it, because a person is still the thing keeping it alive.
Testifly doesn't start from a description. It connects to your app, maps the flows and pages that actually exist, and builds QA for them without anyone writing a test case, a selector, or a framework config. When the UI changes, it heals. When the product changes, it adapts. There's nothing to abandon, because there was nothing anyone had to author in the first place.
Fair - so don't. Enter your URL, discovery runs on its own, and you'll have results in about 15 minutes with nothing to configure along the way. Check it first on the readiness checker with no signup, or run the 30-day trial against a real app before deciding anything.
Reasonable - those tools were healing tests a person wrote. Here, the suite that heals is one nobody authored in the first place, which is a different failure mode than the one that burned you.
Testifly supports username/password, SSO, and magic-link auth. If discovery can't get past your login, it says so - it doesn't quietly skip it.
Not required. Testifly runs on cloud, on-prem, or self-hosted behind your firewall or VPN.
It will, sometimes - a flow it maps incorrectly, an edge case it misses on day one. You can correct it directly, and the correction sticks. We'd rather say that plainly than pretend discovery is perfect.
That's the point, not the risk. There's nothing to author, so there's nothing to abandon.
How many tests are actually in that repo, and when was the last one written? That's usually the whole answer.
