Overview

AI coding tools have compressed development cycles from weeks to hours. A solo founder or a small team can now ship a full web app in a day. But the way we test software hasn't changed — it still requires engineers to write test suites, QA teams to run them, and someone to triage what breaks.

The result: AI-built apps ship without meaningful test coverage. Internal tools get deployed with no QA layer at all. And the bugs your users hit are the first signal that something is wrong.

Replay QA gives AI-built apps the QA loop they're missing.

Built on top of a one-of-a-kind time-travel debugging engine by ex-Mozilla engineers, Replay QA is an autonomous tester for web applications.

Give it a URL and it explores the app like a user, writes Playwright tests, records every session with Replay's deterministic recording engine, and files detailed bug reports. Each report includes a root cause diagnosis, a specific suggested fix, and a full Replay recording with runtime evidence.

Designed for AI-built apps and teams shipping fast.

With the API and/or MCP you can plug Replay QA into your existing workflows, like pushing the bug reports it creates into your Linear or Clickup.

You can invoke Replay QA by prompting your agent, and will discover the REST API and know exactly how to create a QA project, report on the status, and ingest the detailed bug reports, giving for coding agent the full content it needs to fix them.

FAQ 12

What types of apps can Replay QA test?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Any web app accessible via a URL — marketing sites, SaaS products, internal tools, or all of the above. Replay QA explores whatever is at the URL you provide.
Can Replay QA test apps that require login?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Yes. Replay QA supports authenticated flows. You can provide login credentials and it will test behind your auth wall.
Can I test localhost or private apps?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Yes. Replay QA includes a reverse proxy option so it can reach apps running on your local machine or a private network.
Do I need to write any tests or config?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
No. Replay QA discovers user journeys and writes Playwright tests automatically. You provide a URL — it takes care of everything else.
What does a bug report include?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Every bug comes with a Replay recording of the session, a full runtime breakdown (function calls, DOM mutations, network requests, state changes), a root-cause analysis with confidence score, and a suggested fix.
How is this different from Playwright or Cypress test generation tools?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Test generation tools help you write tests faster — you still have to write them, run them, and debug when they fail. Replay QA explores your app autonomously, writes and runs the tests itself, and diagnoses failures. You just provide a URL.
How is this different from QA Wolf or BrowserStack?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
QA Wolf requires human QA engineers to build and maintain test suites. BrowserStack is a platform for running tests you've already written. Replay QA is fully autonomous — no tests to write, no humans to triage. It finds the flows, finds the bugs, and explains root cause.
Can I connect Replay QA to my issue tracker?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Yes. Replay QA supports a Bug Report Webhook — point it at your issue tracker's API and every bug Replay QA finds can be filed automatically. Works with Linear, GitHub Issues, Jira, and any tracker that accepts an HTTP endpoint.
Can I trigger Replay QA from within my local coding environment?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Yes! We've made it easy to give your coding agent a prompt that gives it everything it needs to run Replay QA on an app you're building. It will use our REST API to create the project, poll it regularly to get updates, and pull the bug reports in so it can fix them automatically. Just sit back and watch it work!
Can Replay QA work directly on my GitHub PR?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Yes, Replay QA can work directly on your GitHub PR. Upon identifying and analyzing a test failure, it posts a detailed examination, including the root cause, a failure trace, and a suggested fix directly on the respective PR. This enables your team to address and resolve the issues promptly.
In what ways does Replay QA use recorded data for analysis?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Replay QA uses recorded data extensively in its analysis. The tool records every function call, DOM mutation, network request, and state change during each test run. This deterministic recording of events forms the bedrock for the AI's ability to conduct in-depth diagnostic analyses, produce a detailed root cause, and suggest corrective measures.
What kind of program execution does Replay QA read?
Thomas Daly
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Replay QA reads the actual execution of the program. This includes not merely the error messages, but every component of the program execution like render chains, state flow, network timings, JavaScript executions, and Document Object Model (DOM) mutations.
