PaloQA — AI QA Testing & Browser Automation

AI testing & QA platform for startups. E2E browser test automation, visual diffs, API contract drift & 1-click Playwright export.

⚡ Stop writing brittle test scripts. Start shipping verified software with PaloQA. PaloQA is an enterprise-grade browser automation and End-to-End (E2E) QA testing studio engineered for software teams. Describe test scenarios in natural language, record real-user browser journeys, perform visual UI regression audits, inspect live network traffic for schema drift, and analyze web performance — directly inside your Chrome side panel with zero setup. Say goodbye to brittle scripts, flaky element locators, and expensive cloud testing subscriptions. PaloQA combines local-first execution, self-healing element locators, and Chrome DevTools Protocol automation to deliver reliable, zero-maintenance testing directly on your active tab. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 0.0.11 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 🧠 Natural Language Test Composer — Describe any test flow in plain language and let AI build deterministic, multi-step execution plans. • 🔄 Self-Healing Selectors & Dynamic Recovery — Automated multi-tier fallback locators that adapt when dynamic classes or layout attributes change. • 📡 Real-Time API Contract & Drift Interceptor — Intercept background network traffic and validate payloads against OpenAPI schemas and collections. • ⚡ Core Web Vitals & Web Performance Auditing — Measure TTFB, DOM Content Loaded, page load latency, and HTTP status distributions. • 📊 Executive Multi-Tab Spreadsheets & HTML Reports — Download audit-ready spreadsheets and offline HTML reports with embedded lightbox screenshots. • 🌓 Adaptive Dark & Light Modes — Thoughtfully designed interface tailored for engineering and QA workflows. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌟 CORE CAPABILITIES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚡ 1. AI TEST COMPOSER & DETERMINISTIC REPLAY • Describe user journeys in plain language (e.g., "Add item to cart, apply promo code, and verify checkout total"). • Translates text prompts into step-by-step action plans powered by advanced AI models using your own API keys. • Combines native Chrome DevTools Protocol cursor emulation with intelligent click strategies, guaranteeing reliable execution on modern single-page applications and dynamic web interfaces. 🛡️ 2. SELF-HEALING SELECTORS & ROBUST RECOVERY • Multi-tier element locators: data attributes, accessibility labels, roles, text content, and DOM path hierarchies. • Automatically heals broken selectors when UI markup or dynamic IDs change without throwing script errors. • Safe CSS escaping handles complex selector formats containing slashes, colons, brackets, and pseudo-selectors. 📡 3. REAL-TIME API SCHEMA & DRIFT INTERCEPTOR • Automatically captures live network traffic during browser test runs. • Validate live request and response payloads against contract schemas with instant detection of type mismatches, missing required fields, and unexpected status codes. • Visual payload inspector highlights changes and breaking contract drift in real time. 📸 4. PIXEL-PERFECT VISUAL UI REGRESSION AUDITING • Crawl interconnected pages with automated full-page screenshot capture. • Supports dynamic animations, responsive viewport rendering (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile), and sticky layout elements. • Customizable CSS ignore-selectors mask dynamic timestamps, user avatars, and rotating content to eliminate false positives. ⚡ 5. PERFORMANCE METRICS & CORE WEB VITALS • Measure real-world page speed metrics: Time to First Byte (TTFB), DOM Ready, Full Page Load, and asset payload weights. • Identify slow scripts, bloated network payloads, and unoptimized assets before releasing updates to production. 💻 6. 1-CLICK TEST CODE EXPORT • Never get trapped in proprietary vendor lock-in. • Convert any recorded or AI-planned browser journey into clean, production-ready test scripts and exported test definitions with zero boilerplate. 🧪 7. SMART DATA INJECTOR & MUTATION TESTING • Import network requests and automatically detect payload parameters. • Inject dynamic variables for random IDs, emails, names, timestamps, and sequential counters. • Execute batch iterations with live latency benchmarks and HTTP status distributions. 📊 8. AUDIT-READY EXCEL & INTERACTIVE HTML REPORTS • Export styled, multi-tab spreadsheets with embedded screenshot previews, step duration breakdowns, and full payload logs. • Generate standalone, single-file HTML reports that run completely offline with built-in Light/Dark mode and screenshot zoom. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 HOW TO GET STARTED IN 30 SECONDS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1.
