TryCase

TryCase

Paid

An AI QA agent that opens your app on every pull request and posts a verdict, captioned video and screenshot back to GitHub.

Key features

  • PR-Triggered Runs: Connecting a repository is enough - every pull request marked ready for review starts a test run with no pipeline config.
  • Journey Selection From Diff: TryCase reads the changed code and chooses which user flows are actually affected rather than replaying a whole suite.
  • Disposable Linux Environments: Each run gets a fresh environment with terminal and browser control, so state from earlier runs never leaks in.
  • Video and Screenshot Evidence: Results arrive as a captioned recording plus a screenshot commented on the PR, showing exactly what the app did.
  • Bring Your Own AI: Connect Codex through an existing ChatGPT subscription or supply an OpenRouter key and pay your provider directly for inference.
  • Agent Skills: Packaged skills teach Claude, Codex, Cursor and other compatible agents to drive TryCase environments without manual setup.
  • Parallel Workers: Up to twelve workers per bot run journeys concurrently, with testing time tracked separately for setup, the primary bot and each worker.
  • Usage-Based Hour Pools: Monthly plans grant a shared pool of end-to-end testing hours across setup, PRs and retries, with no automatic overage charges.

Best for

  • Pre-Merge Verification: Confirm a checkout or signup flow still works before approving a pull request, without pulling the branch locally.
  • Visual Regression Review: Catch layout and rendering breakage that unit tests pass over by watching the recorded walkthrough.
  • Agent-Written Code Review: Require an AI coding agent to return screenshots and recordings proving its change runs, not just a diff.
  • Suite-Free E2E Coverage: Give a small team end-to-end coverage without staffing the maintenance of a Playwright or Cypress suite.
  • Demo Clips From Branches: Reuse the captioned videos as short product demos of a feature still sitting on a branch.
  • Release Triage: Scan verdicts across several open PRs to decide which changes are safe to batch into a release.
