TestFirst
TestFirst is a unified QA platform for generating, automating, and managing tests across web, Android, API, console, and shell environments. Its agents turn requirements, documentation, or manual test cases into validated no-code end-to-end tests, and can migrate exportable Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or other suites. AI Memory keeps an updated model of a product’s features, workflows, and domain model. AI Test Recorder captures user actions and converts them into automation. Test management includes scopes, libraries, plans, results, reporting, guided manual testing, screenshots, recordings, issues, and releases. Two-way Jira integration covers issues, tasks, and sprints. Runs can execute locally or on-prem without consuming credits; cloud runs use runtime credits. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 100 one-time workspace credits, one test at a time, 100 default test cases, and 300 default test results. Plus costs $12 a month billed Annual; Pro costs $38 a month billed Annual. Ultimate pricing is custom.
