Automation the AI writes for you
The promise of test automation was fast, repeatable checks. The reality was a backlog of scripts nobody had time to write. Testnova closes that gap: describe what a feature should do, and the AI drafts the test case, generates the automation grounded in your live app, and runs it. You review real objects at each step, so the automation is transparent, not a black box.
- Automation generated from requirements, specs, or plain sentences.
- Standard Playwright output committed to your own repository.
- Runs on real browsers, real Android devices, and APIs.
- Autonomous exploratory runs that find bugs no script covers.
Automation the AI keeps alive
Every automation project dies the same way: the app changes, selectors rot, and the suite is abandoned. Testnova treats maintenance as the core of the tool. When the UI shifts it re-grounds against the live screen, repairs the affected scripts, and opens the fix as a pull request. A genuine bug stays red and becomes a report; only environmental drift is auto-healed.
Grounded, so it doesn’t hallucinate
AI that guesses at your buttons breaks on the first click. During setup Testnova signs in, captures your real screens, and records the actual selectors and fields it finds, so every generated action points at something that genuinely exists on the page.
Fits your pipeline
Trigger automation runs from CI over the REST API, gate releases on the result, and export JUnit and Allure. Confirmed bugs push to Jira; summaries reach email and Slack. The automation runs inside the workflow you already have.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI test automation tool?
An AI test automation tool uses AI agents to do the work a test automation engineer would otherwise do by hand: writing the automation from requirements, running it, and maintaining it as the app changes. Testnova covers that full loop and outputs standard Playwright to your own repository.
How is this different from traditional test automation frameworks?
Frameworks like Playwright or Selenium give you the engine but still expect you to write and maintain every script. Testnova generates the scripts, grounds them in your real app, and repairs them automatically, so you get the automation without the authoring and upkeep burden.
Does the AI ever hide a real bug by “fixing” the test?
No. Testnova only self-heals environmental drift such as a moved button or renamed field. A genuine failure stays red and is reported as a bug with reproduction steps. Healing a real defect green is a line it never crosses.
Can I see and edit the automation it writes?
Yes. The generated automation is standard Playwright committed to your own GitHub or GitLab repository, so engineers can read, edit, and run it directly, with no proprietary format or lock-in.
