AI-Powered QA Testing

Self-healing tests that write themselves in plain English

Define tests in natural language, record user flows once, and replay them reliably across releases. Our Smart DOM Trees create self-healing tests that adapt to UI changes—eliminating the #1 cause of test maintenance. Integrate with CI/CD for automated regression testing at scale.

The Problem

Traditional test automation is brittle. Selenium and Playwright tests break constantly when UIs change—a button moves, a class name updates, a form field gets renamed. QA teams spend 40-60% of their time maintaining existing tests instead of writing new ones. Record-and-playback tools fail on dynamic content. AI testing tools that use screenshots hallucinate elements and can't handle complex flows.

The Landscape

The test automation market is split between code-heavy frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress) that require engineering expertise and constant maintenance, and 'no-code' tools (Testim, Mabl) that still break on UI changes. Vision-based AI testing attempts to solve this with screenshots but introduces OCR errors and hallucinated elements. rtrvr.ai's DOM-native approach combines the reliability of code-based testing with the adaptability of AI—tests that truly heal themselves.

Why rtrvr.ai for AI-Powered QA Testing

Purpose-built AI that understands the web like humans do.

Self-Healing Tests

When your UI changes, tests keep working. Our Smart DOM Trees identify elements by semantic meaning, not brittle selectors. Button moved? Class renamed? Tests still pass.

Natural Language Definitions

Write tests like requirements: 'Verify user can complete checkout with a valid credit card.' The agent handles the implementation details.

80% Less Maintenance

Stop fixing broken locators. Our DOM intelligence adapts to UI changes automatically, freeing QA to write new tests instead of maintaining old ones.

Record Once, Replay Forever

Record complex user flows with the Chrome Extension. Our text-based DOM recordings survive UI updates that break traditional record-and-playback.

Parallel Execution

Run your entire test suite in parallel across cloud browsers. What took hours now completes in minutes.

CI/CD Native

Trigger test runs from GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or any CI system. Get webhook callbacks with pass/fail status and detailed reports.

How It Works

1

Define or Record Tests

Write tests in natural language ('verify login works') or record user flows with the Chrome Extension.

2

Configure Assertions

Specify what to verify: element presence, text content, form values, navigation outcomes, or custom conditions.

3

Run in Cloud

Execute tests on demand or integrate with CI/CD. Parallel execution across multiple cloud browsers.

4

Get Results

Receive detailed reports with pass/fail status, screenshots, execution time, and self-healing actions taken.

Use It Your Way

Access rtrvr.ai through the interface that fits your workflow—extension, cloud, WhatsApp, or API.

Chrome Extension

Chrome Extension (Recording)

Record user flows by clicking through your app. The extension captures DOM interactions as semantic text—not coordinates—creating resilient test scripts.

Cloud Platform

Cloud Test Execution

Run tests in parallel across managed cloud browsers. No infrastructure to maintain. Scale from 1 to 100 concurrent tests instantly.

API/MCP

CI/CD Integration

RESTful API for triggering test runs from any CI system. Webhook callbacks deliver results to Slack, email, or your test management platform.

WhatsApp Bot

Mobile Alerts

Get instant WhatsApp notifications when critical tests fail. Trigger smoke tests on-demand from your phone.

The rtrvr.ai Advantage

Proprietary technology that makes our automation more reliable, faster, and harder to detect than any competitor.

Smart DOM Trees vs. Screenshots

Vision-based testing tools screenshot pages and guess click targets—leading to OCR errors and hallucinated elements. Our Smart DOM Trees read actual page structure, achieving 81.39% task completion where vision agents hit 40-66%.

No CDP Detection Issues

Unlike Playwright and Puppeteer which are trivially detected via CDP signatures, our extension-based approach is indistinguishable from real users. Test sites with bot protection without false failures.

True Self-Healing

Other tools claim 'self-healing' but just try multiple selectors. Our agent understands that 'Submit Order' and 'Place Order' are the same button semantically—adapting to copy changes, not just selector changes.

Text-Based Recordings

Record flows as semantic DOM interactions, not pixel coordinates or fragile XPaths. Recordings survive redesigns that break every other record-and-playback tool.

DOM Diff, Not Pixel Diff

Visual regression that compares semantic content, not pixels. Detect meaningful changes (missing button, wrong text) without false positives from font rendering or animation timing.

20+ Specialized Sub-Agents

Navigation, form filling, assertion checking, error recovery—each handled by purpose-built agents. Complex multi-step tests execute reliably without custom error handling code.

Example Prompts

Just describe what you need in natural language. The agent handles the complexity.

"Verify that a new user can sign up with email, confirm their account, and reach the dashboard"
"Test the checkout flow: add item to cart, apply promo code SAVE20, complete purchase with test card"
"Confirm that the search function returns relevant results for 'wireless headphones' and filters work correctly"
"Validate that password reset emails are sent and the reset link allows setting a new password"
"Run regression tests on the entire user onboarding flow after each deployment"
"Test that admin users can create, edit, and delete team members from the settings page"

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using rtrvr.ai for ai-powered qa testing.

How is this different from Selenium or Playwright?

Selenium and Playwright require you to write and maintain selectors manually. When your UI changes, tests break and engineers spend hours updating locators. rtrvr.ai uses AI to understand page semantics—it knows a 'Submit' button is still a 'Submit' button even if the class changed from 'btn-primary' to 'submit-btn'. Tests heal themselves.

How does self-healing actually work?

Our Smart DOM Trees capture elements by their semantic role, visible text, ARIA labels, and structural context—not just CSS selectors. When the agent can't find an exact match, it identifies the most likely candidate based on these semantic signals. We log every healing action so you can review and approve changes.

Can I use natural language instead of recording?

Yes. Describe your test in plain English: 'Verify a user can add items to cart and complete checkout.' The agent interprets the intent, navigates your app, performs actions, and validates outcomes. For critical paths, we recommend recording for deterministic replay.

How do I integrate with CI/CD?

Call our API to trigger test runs, passing your test IDs or suite names. We return a run ID immediately. Configure a webhook to receive results, or poll the status endpoint. Works with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI, and any system that can make HTTP requests.

What about tests that require authentication?

Three options: (1) Include login steps in your test flow, (2) Use our session persistence to stay logged in across test runs, or (3) Use remote browser triggering to run tests in your own authenticated browser sessions.

How do you handle dynamic content and loading states?

Our agent automatically waits for elements to be interactive before acting. It detects loading spinners, skeleton screens, and async content. No explicit waits or sleep statements needed—the agent knows when the page is ready.

Can I run tests in parallel?

Yes. Specify concurrency when triggering a test run. We spin up multiple cloud browsers and distribute your test suite across them. A 100-test suite that takes 2 hours sequentially can complete in under 15 minutes with parallel execution.

What kind of assertions can I make?

Element presence/absence, text content matching (exact or contains), form field values, URL verification, element counts, attribute values, visual presence of components, and custom JavaScript assertions. Natural language assertions like 'verify the success message appears' work too.

How does pricing work for test execution?

Test runs consume cloud credits based on execution time. A typical test (30 seconds to 2 minutes) costs $0.02-0.08. Parallel execution multiplies cost by concurrency but dramatically reduces wall-clock time. Volume discounts available for high-usage teams.
