    Environments

    productionapp.acme.com

    STRIPE_KEY=••••••••

    DATABASE_URL=••••••••

    • EU and Enterprise plans route to a sales-led flow with a one-business-day SLA.

  8. A guided onboarding flow

    First-run setup is now a friendly five-step wizard — organization, project, source, plan, done — with progress saved at every step.

    Org

    Source

    Done

    Pick a plan

    You can change this later from billing.

    • Five steps: organization → project → source → plan → done.
    • Per-step validation with specific errors on GitHub install or OAuth failures.
    • Progress is persisted so you can leave and come back without losing your place.
    • Lands you in the dashboard with a first session already queued.

  9. A new dashboard layout

    Collapsible sidebar with a project switcher, breadcrumbs, and a smoother dark mode. Built for keyboard navigation.

    • Powers the live activity log on PR sessions.

  14. Test cases that follow your PRs

    Every PR generates Draft test cases automatically; merging promotes them to Active, closing without merge archives them. Your test library grows with your codebase.

    PR #284

    TC-091Invite teammate by emailDRAFT
    TC-092Resend pending inviteDRAFT

    on merge

    TC-091Invite teammate by emailACTIVE
    TC-092Resend pending inviteACTIVE
    • Draft cases generated automatically from the PR diff.
    • Draft → Active on merge; Draft → Archived on close-without-merge.
    • Push to a PR? Old Drafts archive, new ones generate from the latest diff.

  15. GitHub Check Runs on every PR

    qlane creates a 'qlane' check on every pull request and updates it through queued → running → done with the test summary.

    All checks passed
    qlanePassed
    lintPassed
    buildPassed
    unit testsPassed
    • Check Run created on PR open, updated through queued → running → done.
    • Pass/fail summary with counts and a deep link back to the session.
    • Compatible with branch protection rules (required checks).

  16. Automated PR testing

    Every pull request now triggers a sandbox build, an AI test pass, and a posted GitHub review with reproduction steps and screenshots — automatically.

    PR opened
    Sandbox
    Agent runs
    Review posted
    • Sandbox provisioned per PR — clone, install, build, run.
    • QA agent drives a real Chromium browser, just like a human tester.
    • Posted as a single GitHub review with one comment per finding.
    • Durable pipeline: retries on transient failure, picks up after a crash.

  18. Encrypted environment variables

    Store the credentials your tests need — API keys, tokens, database URLs — encrypted at rest and only decrypted inside test sandboxes.

    Secrets · encrypted at rest
    API_KEY••••••••••••
    STRIPE_SK••••••••••••
    DATABASE_URL••••••••••••

    Decrypted only inside test sandboxes. Never shown in logs.

    • Encrypted at rest; decrypted only inside sandboxes.
    • Masked by default with click-to-reveal in the dashboard.
    • Bulk paste from `.env` files; quoting and escapes handled.
    • Known secret values are redacted from logs and screenshots.

  19. Build your test library

    A first-class test case management view — write, organize, label, and search every behavior your app should exhibit.

    • Stable TC# identifiers stay with a case for its whole life.
    • Add cases by hand, generate from a PR, or import in bulk.
    • Search, filter by tag or level, sort by recency.

  20. Findings come with screenshots

    Every bug the agent reports is accompanied by a captured screenshot, a severity, and clean reproduction steps you can paste into a ticket.
