The Testaify Pilot Process

Testaify’s three-phase pilot framework validates discovery, tailors testing strategies, and scales autonomous testing across the entire team, turning AI-native testing into an operational reality.

Your Roadmap to Autonomous Testing Success

In a world where software teams face increasing demands for speed and efficiency. Our autonomous testing platform doesn't just promise to automate your tests—it discovers your application, designs intelligent test cases, and executes comprehensive testing without requiring scripts, extensive setup, or ongoing maintenance.

But how do you transition from traditional testing approaches to truly autonomous AI-powered testing? The answer lies in our carefully designed pilot process, a managed rollout approach that ensures you extract maximum value from Testaify while minimizing risk and complexity.

Why We Conduct Pilots: Setting You Up for Success

Testaify represents a fundamental shift in how software teams approach testing, moving from reactive, script-based testing to an AI-native approach that learns and adapts. Our pilot process recognizes that this transformation requires thoughtful planning and execution.

Unlike other AI testing tools that require extensive setup and ongoing maintenance, Testaify provides a fully self-contained, truly autonomous solution that can begin testing in under five minutes. However, to maximize the impact of this powerful platform, we've developed a three-phase pilot process that ensures optimal results from day one.

Our pilots serve several critical purposes:

  • Validation: We confirm that Testaify can successfully discover and test your specific application
  • Optimization: We identify the best testing strategies for your unique environment and business domain
  • Education: Your team learns how to leverage autonomous testing effectively
  • Integration: We ensure smooth incorporation into your existing development workflow

Phase 1: Research - Understanding Your Application Universe

The foundation of successful autonomous testing lies in understanding what we're testing. At Testaify, we recognize that you can only generate tests if you know what you are testing. This step is where most so-called autonomous testing platforms fail—they cannot discover the application on their own.

What We Need from You

To begin the research phase, we require:

  • Test Environment: A public URL to your staging or test environment
  • User Credentials: Authentication details for different user roles
  • Multiple User Roles: Ideally, 10 users across different roles, though we can work with as few as one

We strongly recommend using a dedicated test environment rather than production. Our autonomous testing platform will click every button, fill every form, and explore every corner of your application – precisely what you want in testing, but definitely not in production with real customer data.

The Discovery Process

Everything begins with Testaify’s AI discovery engine. Essentially, Testaify discovers the application. The only information it needs is the URL and credentials.

During research, our AI Discovery Engine:

  • Maps Application Architecture: Creates a comprehensive model of your application's structure, states, and transitions
  • Identifies Business Domain: If your application is for supporting farmers, it will recognize your domain as being related to agriculture
  • Understands User Roles: Analyzes different user permissions and access patterns
  • Discovers Essential Paths: Identifies the most critical flows

Key Outcomes

At the end of Phase 1, we'll have:

  • Confirmed that Testaify's AI workers can interact with your application
  • Built a dynamic model of your application's functionality
  • Identified your business domain for context-aware testing
  • Validated that autonomous testing is viable for your specific platform

This research phase is crucial because your product changes regularly, and a one-time, defined static model will only be valid for a short time. Our approach creates a living model that adapts as your application evolves.

Phase 2: Engagement - Tailoring Autonomous Testing to Your Needs

Armed with a deep understanding of your application, Phase 2 focuses on translating that knowledge into actionable testing strategies that align with your team's workflow and objectives.

Sharing Our Findings

We begin by presenting comprehensive insights about your application, including:

  • Application Topology: How your application is structured and interconnected
  • Testing Opportunities: Areas where autonomous testing will provide the greatest value
  • Integration Recommendations: How to best incorporate Testaify into your existing development process

Collaborative Planning

This phase emphasizes partnership. We work with your team to:

  • Define Testing Goals: Establish what success looks like for your testing program
  • Prioritize Coverage Areas: Focus initial efforts on your most critical functionality
  • Set Testing Schedules: Best practices include starting small (smoke), using consistent naming conventions, and scheduling longer runs off-hours
  • Plan Workflow Integration: Ensure Testaify complements your existing development and deployment practices

Hands-On Learning

Your team begins executing test sessions to become familiar with the platform. You start by adding your web app to Testaify. Simply provide the application's base URL, authentication details, and user credentials based on typical user roles.

During engagement, your team learns to:

  • Configure and launch test sessions
  • Interpret autonomous testing results
  • Understand the difference between findings and defects
  • Leverage Testaify's reporting and analytics capabilities

Building Confidence

Testaify is 400x faster than a Senior QA Tester and a Senior Automation Developer working together.

Phase 2 demonstrates these capabilities in the context of your specific application, building confidence in autonomous testing's potential to transform your quality assurance process.

Phase 3: Onboarding - Scaling Autonomous Testing Across Your Team

The final phase transitions your entire team to autonomous testing, establishing long-term success patterns and ongoing support structures.

Team Expansion

Once your initial team is comfortable with Testaify, we help onboard additional team members:

  • Role-Based Training: Tailored guidance for developers, QA, and product managers
  • Best Practices Transfer: Sharing lessons learned during the pilot with the broader team
  • Workflow Optimization: Fine-tuning processes based on your team's specific needs

Ongoing Support Infrastructure

We establish permanent support channels to ensure continued success:

  • Dedicated Slack Channel: Direct access to our team for questions, guidance, and troubleshooting
  • Regular Check-ins: Scheduled reviews to assess progress and identify optimization opportunities
  • Knowledge Transfer: Ensuring your team has the skills and understanding to leverage Testaify independently

The Transformation Moment

In this phase, prospects become customers—when autonomous testing becomes an integral part of your development process rather than an experiment. Testaify transforms testing from a reactive process into an AI-native, continuously learning system that discovers, tests, and reports on your web app.

Success Metrics

By the end of onboarding, you should see:

  • Reduced Testing Time: Comprehensive testing that previously took days or weeks now completes in hours or minutes
  • Improved Coverage: AI-based test generation helps increase the test coverage and minimize human intervention
  • Enhanced Quality: Earlier detection of issues with actionable, video-supported findings
  • Team Empowerment: Your developers can focus on building features while Testaify handles system testing

What Makes Our Pilot Process Different

Truly Autonomous from Day One

While several vendors claim to offer autonomous testing platforms, they lack a key component: application discovery. Testaify delivers genuine autonomy. True autonomy means the system performs discovery, decides what to test, and conducts testing without waiting for a human to point the way.

Minimal Setup, Maximum Impact

Unlike traditional automation tools that simply run pre-written scripts, Testaify actually discovers your application, designs its own tests, executes them intelligently, and reports findings – all without you writing a single line of test code.

Immediate Value

Getting started takes just minutes, but our pilot process ensures you're not just getting started—you're getting started right.

Proven Methodologies

Because Testaify designs and executes tests using artificial intelligence, we address the most significant issues with software testing today while implementing proven testing methodologies.
