PR & CI/CDRegression

    How do you run AI tests on every pull request?

    A GitHub or GitLab bot installs into your repo; when a PR opens (or you tag it), it reads the PR context, detects the preview deployment your pipeline built and runs exploratory plus relevant regression tests against it, then posts results back to the PR thread – so issues are caught before merge, without leaving the developer's workflow.

    Sub-use-cases

    Covers PR bot testing, preview-URL testing, CI/CD pipeline gate (blocking or reporting), post-deploy smoke, scheduled pipeline regression, GitHub App (automatic trigger on PR open or label), GitHub Actions Change Review Action (multi-app PRs, label-based triggers, custom pipelines), CLI (`qatech run`, `qatech tunnel`) for local development and non-standard pipelines and API / webhook trigger from any other CI system.

      What gets tested on a pull request

      PR-level testing of the change, preview-environment (Vercel/Netlify/Railway) runs, pipeline quality gates on deploy, and post-deploy production smoke.

    2. 02

      How does AI test a PR before merge?

      GitHub Actions and GitLab CI are native; other systems trigger via API or webhook. The bot auto-detects the PR's preview URL, runs the plan, and returns pass/fail with screenshots and video to the thread or pipeline.

      When tests run in the pipeline

      On every PR and at each pipeline stage – a smoke plan on merge, full regression on release candidates.

      Who runs PR and CI/CD testing

      Dev and platform teams who want quality gates earlier, without leaving their tools.

      How QA.tech helps

      Code review catches logic errors, not user-facing regressions. QA.tech moves testing to the moment of the PR, so a broken checkout or login is caught before it reaches main.

      Ways to integrate

      QA.tech plugs into your pipeline through several entry points: - **GitHub App** – automatic trigger on PR open or label. - **GitHub Actions Change Review Action** – a standalone action for when the App's auto-trigger isn't flexible enough: multi-app PRs, label-based triggers, custom pipelines. - **CLI** (`qatech run`, `qatech tunnel`) – for local development and non-standard pipelines. - **API / webhook** – trigger from any other CI system.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    Does QA.tech test the PR's preview deployment automatically?
    Yes – the bot detects the preview URL and runs against it, no per-PR config.
    Can QA.tech block a deploy on failure?
    Yes – wire it as a blocking check; non-critical tests can report without blocking.
    Which CI systems are supported?
    GitHub and GitLab natively; Bitbucket, Azure DevOps and others via API/webhook.
