Source control & CI/CD

QA.tech + GitHub App

The QA.tech GitHub App reviews every pull request automatically. It analyzes the diff, identifies user-facing changes, creates tests for new functionality, runs them against your preview deployment, and posts the results as a review on the PR. It also reads linked tickets so tests reflect the acceptance criteria behind the change.

What you can do

  • Get per-PR test coverage without hand-writing tests for each change
  • Catch regressions and broken flows before merge, on the preview deploy
  • Pull linked Jira or Linear ticket context into the review
  • Validate AI-authored PRs before they reach main

Where teams use this

GitHub App in practice

This is the integration behind our PR testing product: every pull request gets tested before merge instead of waiting for a nightly suite. Teams shipping with AI coding tools use it to validate AI-generated code before it lands, and it pairs with feature-flag and preview-environment setups because tests run against the deployment for that exact change. Many teams start with smoke coverage on every PR and expand from there. If you're moving QA earlier in the cycle, this is the shortest path to shift-left testing.

FAQ

Common questions

Does the GitHub App replace writing Playwright tests for each PR?
For user-facing changes, yes: the agent creates and runs tests from the change itself. You keep full control of scheduled plans separately.
Does it work with preview deployments behind Vercel protection?
Yes, together with the Vercel Preview Protection setup.
Is this GitHub-only?
The App is. GitLab teams get the same behavior through the GitLab merge-request integration.

Your team moves fast. Can your testing keep up?

QA.tech agents test your product autonomously, so moving fast never means shipping broken. See how it works in a 30-minute demo.
