Overview

VigilQA is a cloud-hosted AI platform that generates, maintains, and runs automated tests for your applications — continuously, without manual scripting.

What is VigilQA?

VigilQA replaces the traditional test-writing workflow. Instead of hand-coding test scripts, you describe your application's expected behaviour in a structured Knowledge Base, and VigilQA's AI pipeline generates executable pytest test suites from those descriptions — complete with real DOM selectors, API assertions, and edge-case coverage.

When tests run, a set of post-run AI agents automatically classify failures, detect flaky tests, catch regressions, and heal broken locators. The result is a self-maintaining test suite that improves with every run.

How the platform works

VigilQA operates in four continuous phases:

1
Define — Build the Knowledge Base
Describe your application's domains, user flows, and expected behaviours in the KB editor. Each scenario maps to test IDs that the generation pipeline uses as input.
2
Generate — Run the Generation Pipeline
Five generation agents (AppExplorer → DocGen → DocReview → ScriptGen → ScriptReview) convert KB entries into reviewed, executable test scripts. Each stage has an optional approval gate.
3
Run — Execute via dashboard or CI/CD
Trigger test runs from the dashboard or automatically on every commit via your CI/CD pipeline. VigilQA handles infrastructure, browser execution, and result collection.
4
Analyse — Post-run agents act automatically
After each run, five analysis agents classify failures, detect regressions, measure coverage gaps, compute flakiness scores, and queue locator healing patches for review.

Key capabilities

8 test modules

VigilQA covers the full testing surface of modern applications. You can enable any combination of modules per project:

  • REST / GraphQL API — functional API tests with schema and contract validation
  • Web UI Testing — end-to-end browser tests using real DOM selectors
  • API Contract — consumer-driven contract tests via Pact-compatible format
  • Visual Regression — pixel-level screenshot comparisons across builds
  • Accessibility — WCAG 2.1 AA/AAA automated audit per page
  • Security & VAPT — OWASP Top 10 and surface-level vulnerability scanning
  • Performance — response time, throughput, and Lighthouse-based metrics
  • Bug Tracker — automatically creates and links bug entries from test failures

10 AI agents

VigilQA includes two categories of agents:

  • 5 generation agents — AppExplorer, DocGen, DocReview, ScriptGen, ScriptReview — run once to produce test scripts from the KB
  • 5 post-run agents — ResultAnalyzer, FlakyDetector, RegressionGuard, CoverageGap, LocatorHealer — run after every test execution automatically

Approvals workflow

Every AI-generated artifact — test case documents, scripts, locator healing patches — passes through a human review step before being committed. Approvals can be mandatory, auto-approved, or team-gated depending on your settings.

Platform model

VigilQA is a fully cloud-hosted platform. There is no agent to install on your infrastructure. The dashboard, test execution environment, result storage, and AI agents all run on VigilQA-managed cloud infrastructure. Your application under test is accessed over the network by the platform's agents.

No self-hosting. VigilQA does not offer a self-hosted or on-premise deployment. All plans run on dedicated VigilQA cloud infrastructure. For air-gapped environments, Enterprise plans support local LLM configuration via Ollama.
