How Rainforest QA works

step 1

Write your test,
no coding required.

Rainforest's visual test editor loads your web app in an interactive virtual machine.

To create each test step, select an action like "Click" or "Fill". Then select an element from your app to apply the action to. It's that simple.

step 2

Run your automated tests

Kick off your tests from the Rainforest web app or from any CI/CD pipeline using our API, CLI, or direct integrations.

Tests run on virtual machines in our cloud, which you can configure by operating system (MacOS or Windows) and browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Edge, or Internet Explorer).

Rainforest's proprietary automation locates elements in your app based on visual appearance, not on behind-the-scenes code. So your tests represent the actual user experience.

Run your tests with our automation or tester community

step 3

Get detailed results in minutes

Get notified on Slack, Teams, or email when test runs complete or when issues are found.

All tests results include details you need for debugging, including reproduction steps, video recordings, HTTP logs, and browser logs.

Rainforest QA is seriously one of the coolest services I’ve seen lately. No-code automated UI testing!

The best end-to-end testing tool I've ever used.

Rainforest is so easy to use and intuitive anyone can pick it up almost instantly. QA engineers, frontend engineers, and even backend engineers, but also product people can see exactly what is being tested, what breaks, and make updates in minutes. It also lets us test things that no other tool can test. Many times it has alerted to some regression and allowed us to fix things before they reach our customers.

It can do what I used to use three tools for... Datadog synthetic browser tests, Diffy visual diffs, and Changetower change detection. It was very easy to get a test flow up and running. You’ve built a great tool!

Overall the service is amazing and there's nothing else out there that would do this for us. It's added a ton of stability to our development process and made it way less stressful to merge changes.

We are putting our new portal through QA automated by @rainforestqa. Picking this platform was the easiest decision I’ve made all year. Thanks Rainforest team for an amazingly easy product to use and for helping us deliver an amazing service!

Just finished writing a whole test suite for GalenAI using @rainforestqa - really awesome product. Highly recommend.

I am a developer and setting a test up was fast and easy (much faster than writing an E2E test in code). I already added 2 other devs to our account. I mostly see this as a dev-empowering tool.

It’s fun to create tests! The interface is super-easy to use; click and take snapshots in your browser of choice.

We use Rainforest QA to replace the need for a full-time QA Engineer on our team.

One of Shopify's worst outages in recent memory happening right now. Over 45 mins of no checkouts on all (?) stores. I got notified of the outage by @rainforestqa. It's a great tool that all Shopify Plus stores should be using. Test for more than just bad server responses.

Huge advocate for Rainforest.

I love how easy it is to create tests. Unlike other automation tools, I like that Rainforest relies on screenshots as opposed to classes & IDs to find elements, so it's as if an actual user is clicking through the steps. We try to release code changes daily, and having Rainforest means we don't have to worry about code changes breaking other system areas.

Super easy and quick-to-learn platform. Our product has a lot of features and with every production deployment, all of those features have to be tested. So Rainforest QA allows us to establish a baseline and test the base features quickly.
