Nothing to install, nothing to maintain
A local test rig is its own maintenance project: driver versions drift, an OS update breaks the emulator, and the CI runner needs a babysitter. An online QA tool moves all of that off your machines. You sign in, point Testnova at your application, and every run happens on cloud browsers and cloud devices that Testnova keeps current for you.
- No frameworks, drivers, or SDKs to install locally.
- Real Chrome in the cloud and real Android phones in the cloud — not simulators.
- Your whole team works from the browser; there is no per-machine setup.
- Runs, reports, and history live in one place instead of scattered CI logs.
Real devices, on demand, without a lab
The honest hard part of testing is the infrastructure: a grid of browsers and a rack of phones that someone has to own. Testnova provisions real browsers and real Android devices from the cloud for the length of a run and releases them after. You get device-accurate results without buying, rooting, or wiring up a single handset.
Built for a team, reached from anywhere
Because it is online, the people who care about quality — QA, developers, a founder — all see the same projects, the same runs, and the same bug reports from wherever they are. Kick off a run from your laptop, review the report from your phone, and gate a release from CI, all against one shared source of truth.
Your data and your tests stay yours
Online does not mean locked in. Generated scripts are standard Playwright committed to your own GitHub or GitLab repository, results export as JUnit and Allure, and credentials are encrypted and never sent to the model. The convenience of the cloud without the lock-in usually attached to it.
Frequently asked questions
What is an online QA tool?
An online QA tool is a quality-assurance platform you run from the browser instead of installing locally. Tests execute on cloud infrastructure the vendor manages. Testnova runs your tests on real cloud browsers and real Android devices, so there is nothing to install and no device lab to maintain.
Do I need to install anything to use Testnova?
No. You sign in, connect your app by URL (and upload a mobile build if you are testing an app), and everything runs in the cloud. Engineers who want the generated Playwright scripts get them in their own repository, but running Testnova requires no local setup.
Are the browsers and devices real or simulated?
Real. Web tests run on real Chrome in the cloud and mobile tests run on real Android devices, not emulators or simulators, so results match what your users actually experience.
Is my application data safe in a cloud tool?
Credentials are encrypted at rest and substituted into runs server-side — they never enter the AI model context. Generated scripts live in your own repository, and evidence like screenshots is served over short-lived signed links.
