What it does
Rainforest QA is a hosted software-testing platform for automating web application journeys. Teams can ask its AI planner to suggest coverage, edit test steps in a visual no-code editor, and run tests through the web app or from CI using the Rainforest API and CLI. Results include human-readable status and execution evidence such as logs and videos.
Turn an application journey into a repeatable check
Start with the application and environment you want to test. Rainforest's product page describes an AI Test Planner that maps an app and proposes regression tests; a person reviews the suggestions, then uses the visual editor to edit steps, add assertions and include test logic. The editor is intended for technical and nontechnical teammates, and its docs describe interacting with an app through keyboard and mouse actions.
Before running a test, supply the target environment and any accounts or test data that the journey needs. The guide includes separate topics for environments, test accounts, test data and test emails. Run a test from the product UI, or use the documented API or CLI to create tests and trigger runs from a CI workflow. Rainforest returns results with videos, logs and readable failure details so a reviewer can see what happened in the browser journey.
This is a hosted testing service, not a replacement for the application under test or its test data. The product site offers a free trial, while its pricing page directs buyers to a sales inquiry rather than publishing plan rates. Trial duration, included usage and paid-plan terms were not established.
Strengths
- A visual editor lets technical and nontechnical teammates create and review browser tests without writing every step as code.
- AI can map an application and suggest test coverage, with a person choosing which suggestions to keep.
- The documented API and CLI can create tests or trigger runs from CI workflows.
- Run evidence includes videos and logs that help explain a failed user journey.
Watch out for
- Teams still need to provide an accessible target environment, credentials and any required test data for the journeys they automate.
Best for
- SaaS teams automating browser-based regression checks with QA, product and engineering contributors.
- Organizations replacing manual web regression with visible, repeatable user-journey tests.
- Teams that want to trigger hosted UI tests from an existing CI pipeline.
