QA should help teams move faster—not slow them down
At Rainforest QA, we believe quality should be built into how teams work, not treated as an afterthought.
That belief is the throughline in everything we build.
Why we’re here
QA hasn’t kept up
Software teams are expected to move faster every year. Release cycles are getting shorter. Expectations keep rising. And when quality slips, the impact is immediate—on customers, on revenue, and on the people doing the work.
Teams are left choosing between slow, manual testing that doesn’t scale, fragile automated tests that break as products evolve, or AI QA tools that promise speed without explaining their decisions. None of those paths lead to real confidence. They just increase risk and complexity.

Rainforest exists to offer a better solution.
From the beginning, our goal has been to make QA fast, trustworthy, and practical to run, without requiring a massive QA organization behind it.
How we think about QA
We’re opinionated about quality because it’s too important not to be
Most teams are taught to treat QA as a phase, a gate, or a hiring problem. That framing breaks quality at scale. QA isn’t something you bolt on when risk increases. QA determines how confidently teams ship every change.
We believe:
QA should be transparent.
If you can’t see what was tested, what failed, and why, you don’t really have confidence.
QA should fit how teams actually work.
Good tools adapt to existing workflows. They don’t slow releases or create work just to feel rigorous.
AI should give teams time back.
AI shines when it removes the setup, maintenance, and rework that often bogs down QA. Your team finally has the time to focus on decisions that actually improve quality.
These beliefs guide our product, our future, and how we work with customers.
What we build
Rainforest QA is an AI-powered, no-code testing platform built for the pace of modern software development
We help teams protect critical user flows, generate maintainable tests, and understand results without guesswork. Our AI QA tools automate the manual, repetitive work that slows down QA. Work that once took days now happens automatically, giving teams real time back to focus on quality, not maintenance. Tests run fast, adapt automatically as the UI evolves, and return clear signals everyone across engineering, product, and QA can rely on.
The goal isn’t more tests.
It’s fewer surprises.
It’s fewer surprises.
