CloudQA
CloudQA is a cloud-based test automation platform for web testing. Its recorder captures actions such as clicks, typing, and dropdown selections to create repeatable test cases. The platform lists functional, performance, security, API, and accessibility testing, with support for multiple datasets and switching between environments. CloudQA says its AI can repair broken locators after minor interface changes and summarize test failure reasons. Documented integrations include Slack, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Confluence, TestRail, Jira, Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, AWS CodePipeline, GitHub, and GCP. Slack failure notifications are limited to scheduled test suites and TruMonitor workflows. The free Kickstart plan includes local automated execution, unlimited API tests, seven days of test history, and Chrome. Scale Up adds cloud executions, scheduling, and one month of history; unlimited cloud runs are subject to fair use. Scale Up is $11,999 a month, with annual pricing shown as $99/m. Synthetic monitoring and native mobile apps require separate licensing.
