Autonoma

Autonoma is an open-source testing platform designed to automate end-to-end quality assurance for web and mobile applications. It employs AI agents that interact with applications through real browsers and devices, simulating user behavior to identify regressions and bugs on every pull request. The platform eliminates the need for manual test code, enabling teams to set up comprehensive testing workflows with a single command and minimal configuration.

The platform works by exploring the application's codebase, mapping out all pages, user flows, and edge cases, and then generating a complete test plan within minutes. Users connect their own data creation and teardown functions via Autonoma's SDK, allowing the tool to seed and clean up real data in line with the application's business logic. This approach ensures that tests reflect actual usage scenarios, rather than relying on artificial or mocked data. Autonoma's AI agents then navigate the app by launching browsers, filling forms, clicking through flows, and verifying UI functionality as a real user would. Test results are surfaced directly within pull requests, providing immediate feedback to developers.

It can be triggered automatically on every code push, running tests on preview deployments without disrupting existing tools or processes. The platform offers both a managed cloud service and a self-hosted option. The managed version provides scalable parallel execution, dashboards, team collaboration features, and integrations like Slack channel notifications and SSO. The self-hosted version is free to use on the user's own infrastructure, with no feature limits or usage costs.

Pricing for the managed cloud service follows a pay-as-you-go model, starting with a free tier that includes 100,000 credits, and charging based on usage thereafter. There is no minimum commitment or monthly fee, and users can set auto top-up caps to control spending. The open-source nature of the platform allows for complete self-hosting at no cost, and the agent code is available for review and customization. Autonoma positions itself as a higher-level operating system for automated testing, building on the execution capabilities of frameworks like Playwright and Appium, but removing the need for manual script writing and ongoing maintenance.
