The coverage you skip now, you pay for later
Every startup knows the deal: move fast, deal with bugs later. But “later” is a customer hitting a broken checkout, a founder debugging in production at midnight, and a codebase nobody dares refactor. The reason teams skip automation isn’t that they don’t value it — it’s that hand-writing and maintaining tests is a full-time job they can’t staff yet.
- No QA hire required to get a real regression suite.
- No framework to learn — you describe features in plain English.
- Free to start with no credit card, so it fits a pre-revenue budget.
- Real browsers and real Android devices in the cloud, no lab to build.
Your engineers stay on the product
Testnova does the part a startup can least afford to staff. You describe what a feature should do; it drafts the test cases, generates the scripts, runs them on real devices, and reports the bugs. When the app changes — and at a startup it changes constantly — it repairs its own tests instead of adding a maintenance chore to your one overloaded developer’s plate.
Priced for a startup, not an enterprise
Enterprise test platforms hide their price behind a sales call and land in five figures a year. Testnova is public and flat: free while in beta, then paid plans from Solo at $99/month up to Professional at $499/month, with quotas that reset monthly and no per-seat surprises. You can start today, on your own, without talking to anyone.
It grows as you do
The suite that covers your MVP is the same suite that protects you at Series A. As you add features, Testnova adds cases; as traffic grows, runs move to CI gating and scheduled regression; as you go multi-platform, the same cases extend to mobile and API. You don’t replatform your testing every time you scale — you just keep describing features.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to hire a QA engineer to use Testnova?
No — that’s the point. Testnova does the authoring, execution, and maintenance a QA engineer would otherwise do by hand. A founder or developer can set it up in an afternoon and get a maintained regression suite without a dedicated QA hire.
Is there a free way for a startup to start?
Yes. You can sign up and run real tests with no credit card, and Testnova is free while in beta. Paid plans start at $99/month when you need higher quotas, with public flat pricing and no sales call.
We ship every day — won’t the tests constantly break?
That’s exactly the case Testnova is built for. When your app changes, it re-grounds and repairs the affected scripts automatically and opens a pull request, so a fast-moving startup doesn’t drown in broken tests. Genuine bugs still surface as reports rather than being healed away.
Can it handle web and mobile as we expand?
Yes. The same plain-English cases run on real browsers, real Android devices, and APIs, so your testing scales across platforms from one place as the product grows.
