Nova

Nova is an artificial intelligence agent that automatically generates and maintains end-to-end tests from real user behavior.

Nova is an artificial intelligence agent designed to automatically generate, execute, and maintain end-to-end tests for critical user experiences. It captures real user interactions and session data across your platform to create test scenarios that mirror authentic usage patterns. The platform handles test maintenance by automatically updating test steps when UI elements, workflows, or business logic change. It integrates with CI/CD pipelines, provides feedback directly in pull requests, and supports browser-based and API testing with custom Chrome images and other major browsers. Tests run within the Nova platform or can be exported to various testing frameworks for external execution.
