The problem
You’re searching for that magic combo of people and tooling that’ll automate QA — without creating new bottlenecks. And figuring out which direction to go isn’t easy:
QA engineers are expensive and take a long time to recruit. And open-source frameworks make them painfully slow at creating and maintaining tests. They’re not the best option for software teams who want to move fast.
QA shops may seem affordable at first. But they tend to be slow, unreliable, and hard to communicate with. Your team ends up paying the cost with a bottlenecked release process yet again.
Many low-code automation tools have major limitations. Like only testing the code layer (DOM) instead of the visual layer — ignoring the user experience. And you’ll still be wasting hours on test maintenance.

Rainforest takes the hassle out of creating, running, and maintaining end-to-end tests. So your QA process supports your release pipeline instead of derailing it.

Using Rainforest’s no-code platform, your Test Manager can create tests quickly and give you coverage in record time. Once you have the coverage you need, your Test Manager also keeps your test suite up-to-date. So you can ship without QA bottlenecks.
Rainforest is intuitive to use and understand. Test scripts are in plain English, so they’re easy to interpret and update. That means your team can jump in anytime to write tests and make changes quickly.
Rainforest locates elements based on your web app’s visual appearance, and interacts with the visual layer of your UI — just like a user would. So you’re testing the real experience, not just the code.
Tests in Rainforest rely on 3 types of identifiers to locate elements in your app: visual appearance, an auto-identified DOM locator, and an AI-generated element description. That means slight changes to your app won’t break your test.

Self-healing AI does the grunt work of test maintenance by automatically updating your test suite to reflect changes in your app. So your tests don’t break when you change a button color. Plus, your Test Manager covers any changes the AI doesn’t.
Our generative AI isn’t something we just shoehorned into Rainforest. It’s built using complementary agents. Think of it like a 2-buddy system where one is always verifying the other. The result? A more reliable AI that accelerates all the slowest, most error-prone parts of test maintenance.
With the help of Test Managers, Push Security achieved test coverage for their critical flows in a matter of weeks:
tests created in the first 4 weeks
tests created during the busiest week
Rainforest has been a game-changer for our general quality initiative. In the last few months, it's saved our ass I don't even know how many times. It's exceeded my expectations.

EXPERT QA AUTOMATION SERVICE
Instant QA capacity to design and monitor your test suite.
No handholding required.
Rainforest Test Managers are handpicked from an elite group of super testers in our crowd-testing community. With 7+ years of experience, they’re not just reliable. They’re fast.
Your Test Manager will work closely with your team, develop a deep understanding of your application, and be proactive in keeping your test suite up-to-date. So they’re always aligned with your priorities.
Message your Rainforest Test Manager in Slack, Teams, or whatever you use. Test Managers sync with your workflows, work in or near your time zone, and speak fluent English.
Even with a Test Manager supporting your team, you get full access to write and update tests. But once you see how easy it is to rely on your Test Manager, you’ll probably want to leave it all to them.
Experienced QA engineers demand salaries of $100K+ in the U.S. Your yearly engagement with Rainforest — including service — starts at less than a quarter of that. Plus, it’s a lot easier to scale.
Your Test Manager reviews every test failure. If it’s a false positive, they’ll fix the test. If it’s a real bug, they’ll alert you. That means the only time your team gets pulled into QA is to fix your application.
Our Test Managers have been great to work with! Both are extremely knowledgeable, self-motivated/managing, communicate irregularities in our app behavior and actively work through creating new tests and updating broken ones with very little supervision necessary from our team.

How it works
You’ll be working with a Test Manager who stays dedicated to your account. You tell them what you need, and they do the rest.
Many test automation frameworks evaluate and interact with the code behind your app’s interface. Rainforest prioritizes interacting with the visual elements of your UI.
For actual bugs, you’ll get a video replay, repro steps, browser logs, and HTTP logs. AI will even summarize why the test failed. So you can go straight to fixing.
Rainforest relies on 3 types of identifiers to locate elements in your web UI. This means your tests won’t break like they do in other automation tools.
Rainforest integrates with all popular CI/CD pipelines. Send bug tickets to Jira or Linear. Send test status notifications to Slack, Teams, or email. See integrations.
With Rainforest, your tests run massively in parallel on our cloud of virtual machines. No configuration required. On average, customers get results in just 4 minutes.
If you ever decide to leave Rainforest, we can export your automated tests to ones you can implement in Playwright.
You’re not limited to testing what appears in the browser. Test anything that appears on a Windows or macOS virtual machine. Another perk of visual-first.
Have our experts run exploratory tests to catch functional and usability issues off the happy path where there’s less automation coverage. *Add-on service.
The fact that our Test Manager is very specialized, very efficient, knows Rainforest incredibly well, and knows our product incredibly well means she can just focus on this one area and do an incredibly good job of it.

Before we make things official, we’ll agree on success criteria for your first 60 days with Rainforest. If we don’t meet your criteria within 60 days, request a refund from your Customer Success Manager and we’ll give you your money back, no questions asked.
MORE THAN JUST A DEMO
Your team’s got the engineering chops to build great products. Getting caught up in QA isn’t the best use of their time — that much is clear.
But evaluating solutions and getting buy-in can be tough.
When you book a demo with us, we’ll help you get clarity.
And if you decide Rainforest is a good fit for your team, we’ll give you what you need to build a strong case for QA. So you have a solid QA strategy in place before your next big release.
Amazing product. Being able to automate testing our website has been instrumental in building confidence before we go live.

Frequently asked questions
Rainforest Test Managers are QA experts. We vet them as the cream of the crop from our crowd-testing community. They’re also experts at using Rainforest — helping you get the most out of the platform. Test Managers are matched to your needs and stay dedicated to your account. So your team can truly take E2E test maintenance off their to-do list.
First, unlike Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, and other open source frameworks, our proprietary test automation framework doesn’t require any coding. Plus, it’s been designed from the ground up to be intuitive, so anyone can jump in to write, read, run, or update automated tests without any training.
Second, automated Rainforest tests primarily interact with the visual elements of your app’s user interface, so you can be confident you’re testing exactly what your users and customers will experience. Contrast this with many test automation frameworks that primarily evaluate and interact with the code behind your app’s interface. That is, they test what computers see, not what users see.
Our visual-first approach also means Rainforest can test anything you see on a screen — not just what appears within a browser window. So, for example, you can interact with a browser extension in the toolbar, or open a file sitting on the Windows or macOS desktop and verify its contents.
Finally, Rainforest is unique in that it uses generative AI to automatically update tests in response to intended changes in your app. That means fewer false-positive test failures requiring test maintenance, and more high-velocity shipping with a reliable test suite.
Yes. If you ever decide to leave Rainforest, we can export your automated tests to ones you can implement in Playwright.
Rainforest QA is optimized for testing web applications like SaaS apps.
But unlike many test automation tools that can’t interact with anything outside a browser window, Rainforest can interact with anything you can see on a Windows or macOS screen. So, for example, if testing your web app involves downloading and interacting with files, we’ve got you covered.
Our test automation — like most test automation — is not a good fit for testing full-motion video or other highly-dynamic content like video games.
Rainforest doesn’t currently support automated testing of native mobile applications. But you can automate tests of mobile-responsive web apps.
We take a novel approach to improving the reliability of our AI, and we're constantly making improvements. Our vision is to ultimately deliver an AI experience that requires little or no human intervention.
In the meantime, we know you need to have confidence in your test results. That’s part of why we provide an experienced Test Manager to your account. Test Managers don’t just review test failures and update any tests that the AI doesn’t handle — they also review the AI’s work to correct any hallucinations or misjudgments it makes.
No, for several reasons including scalability, speed, and security, we only run tests on virtual machines (VMs).
We create a clean VM for every test, which is faster and easier than resetting a physical device every time you want to run a test. Thanks to cloud-based computing power, we can spin up many VMs to meet your parallel-testing needs in real-time.
After a VM is done running a test, we destroy it, along with any of your sensitive test data.
Because we don’t test on real hardware, we can’t help you test some hardware-specific features like audio playback.
The Rainforest platform supports multiple versions of all major browsers, Windows, and macOS.
At the moment, generative AI features are only compatible with tests created on Chrome on Windows 10.
Here’s the full list of browsers and operating systems supported on Rainforest.
We make it easy to load your app in our virtual machines for testing, whether your test environment is available from the public internet via a URL, or if it's only accessible to your private network.
Quickly! You or your Test Manager can start adding automated test coverage on day one.
We’ve learned that your chances of being successful with any test automation tool are much higher when you’ve got expert guidance on best practices. This even holds true for Rainforest, where anyone can jump in and start writing tests without any training. (Writing a simple test script is one thing; writing efficient scripts for the complex use cases specific to your app is another.)
Since we can't provide onboarding and consultation services to everyone who wants to test drive the platform, we don’t offer a self-serve free trial.
But you can talk to us about scheduling a time to see the platform in action, and we can discuss your getting access to an assisted free trial.
Rainforest is SOC 2 Type II compliant (audit report available upon request), HIPAA compliant, and ISO 27002 compliant.
We’ve implemented a number of measures and systems to make sure your data is safe both on our platform and with our personnel. You can learn more on our Security page.
QA should be about helping your team focus on shipping code that makes customers happy. Rainforest can help you get there.
