What is TestOwl?

TestOwl is a no-code QA testing platform that lets you create automated tests simply by using your web application. Record your actions, and TestOwl converts them into reusable, editable test cases that you can review, modify, and run whenever you need to verify your application still works as expected.

Instead of spending time writing and maintaining automation scripts, your team can focus on validating product behaviour. Tests remain visual, easy to understand, and simple to update as your application evolves.

You never have to write automation code by hand. Record yourself using your application once—or build a test visually step by step—and TestOwl creates a structured test that you can edit, reorder, reuse, and run across multiple browsers, devices, and environments.

Create and maintain automated tests without writing code, learning an automation framework, or maintaining fragile test scripts.

“Build the test the same way you'd use the app. That's the whole idea.”

— TestOwl Team

Who it's for

  • QA teams who want reliable regression testing without maintaining a large code-based automation suite.
  • Product and engineering teams who want fast feedback before every release without becoming automation experts.
  • Startups and small teams who need automated regression testing but don't have dedicated QA engineers.
  • Anyone migrating from a code-based framework—Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, WebdriverIO, Puppeteer, and others—who wants their existing tests inside a visual, team-friendly tool. See the Import Wizard.

Why teams choose TestOwl

With TestOwl you can:

  • Build automated tests without writing code.
  • Record user journeys directly from your browser.
  • Visually edit tests whenever your application changes.
  • Reuse common flows across multiple test cases.
  • Execute tests across different browsers, devices, and environments.
  • Run tests locally or in the cloud.
  • Catch regressions before every release with detailed reports, including screenshots, videos, logs, and execution history.
  • Import existing tests from supported automation frameworks instead of rebuilding them from scratch.

The core building blocks

Projects

Everything lives inside a project—your team, your tests, your environments, your data, and your execution history.
Read more

Flows

Reusable sequences of steps (such as logging in) that you create once and reuse across multiple test cases.
Read more

Test Suites & Test Cases

Test suites organise related test cases, making it easier to manage and execute your automated tests.
Read more

Environments

Named run configurations that define which browser, device, locale, network conditions, and other settings a test runs with.
Read more

Runs & Reports

Execute tests on demand, then inspect detailed reports with step-by-step results, screenshots, videos, logs, and failure diagnostics.
Read more

Dashboard

Monitor your project's health with pass-rate trends, execution history, environment coverage, and insights into failing tests.

How a test comes together

  1. 1
    Record or build a test using the Recorder or the Step Editor, choosing from a comprehensive library of step types for navigation, mouse and keyboard interactions, forms, assertions, API requests, database queries, loops, conditions, variables, file operations, and more.
  2. 2
    Organise it into a Test Suite as a Test Case.
  3. 3
    Reuse common sequences (such as logging in) as Flows instead of repeating steps across multiple tests.
  4. 4
    Configure an Environment to define the browser, device, locale, and other runtime settings, then provide any required Variables or Secrets.
  5. 5
    Run your test locally using the Desktop App or execute it in the cloud, then analyse the detailed Report to understand exactly what happened.
