Drafted from the report
Tessa proposes the issue from the failed run, so the details are already in place when you review it.

Time to coverage
Your first scenario in under five minutes.
Our estimate: a new Tessa user creates and reviews a straightforward test scenario in under five minutes. The same case as a Playwright test, specified, implemented, and reviewed, takes around four hours because it crosses several people. On a mature project without automation the gap widens: a traditional test stack takes days to stand up, while Tessa connects in under 30 minutes.

Maintenance is a review.
When behaviour changes, revise the natural-language steps instead of maintaining selector scripts. Every change stays versioned.
Interactive product tour
Follow a complete testing flow.
Explore the transfer flow in MyBänkli, our demo banking app. Open the uncovered interaction, review Tessa's draft, run it, and inspect the evidence.
One connected system
Natural-language scenarios. End-to-end test runs. Solid evidence.
The core of Tessa: your team describes flows as scenarios, Tessa runs them, and every result comes with evidence. Along the way, each run grows the App Map — and shows you what is still untested.
Describe
You describe the flow. Tessa runs it.
A scenario describes a user flow the way you would explain it to a new team member: preconditions, steps, and expected results. No selector code. Tessa drives your application from that description and verifies every step.
- Anyone on the team can write, read, and review scenarios
- Import existing cases from Jira, spreadsheets, or plain notes
- Watch runs live or review the results later
Understand
A map of your application, drawn from real runs.
Every scenario run, replay, and exploration with Tessa feeds the App Map. Tessa groups observed screens, connects their transitions, and shows which scenarios cover each one.
- Inspect screens or follow complete flows
- Compare observed behaviour across platforms and builds
- Explore with Tessa Assistant and keep what it observes in the App Map

Close the gaps
Turn observed gaps into reviewed scenarios.
Unused interactions, uncovered screens, and dead ends become explicit gaps. Ask Tessa for a scenario draft, then accept, refine, or decline it before it enters your library.
- Start from an observed gap, a natural-language goal, or Tessa's own exploration
- Structured preconditions, steps, and expected outcomes
- A human reviews every draft before it becomes coverage

Integrations
Failed runs become GitHub or GitLab issues.
Connect the Tessa GitHub App or your GitLab instance and a failed run turns into a drafted issue: title, description, and the affected scenario, taken straight from the report. Review and file it yourself, or let Tessa manage issues on its own — every action is documented on the issue with its reason.
Duplicates become comments
When a known failure shows up again, Tessa comments on the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
Regressions flagged automatically
When a failure returns after its issue was closed, Tessa marks the run as a regression.
GitLab included
Connect gitlab.com or your self-managed instance with an access token; the integration layer is provider-neutral by design.
Results in context
See what changed and what needs attention.
Tessa connects current results with run history, scenario versions, and tested builds, so your team spots patterns and sees where a closer look pays off.
Triage the latest results
The dashboard separates results that need attention from flaky, live, and passing runs across one app or all of them.
Separate flakes from regressions
Recent pass/fail history by scenario and platform helps your team distinguish intermittent failures from consistent regressions.
Compare builds with context
Build Compare groups regressed, fixed, new, and unchanged scenarios and shows whether the scenario definition changed too.
Ask Tessa about your testing history
Ask Tessa can query trends, compare builds, assess flakiness, and retrieve the relevant reports and failure evidence.

Workflow comparison
From intent to reliable coverage
A typical code-based Playwright workflow crosses business intent, documentation, application changes, automation code, infrastructure, and ongoing maintenance. Tessa keeps the same journey in five natural-language steps one person can own.
Same starting point
Agreed intent, representative test data, and a testable target with usable accessibility or automation surfaces.

FAQ
Common questions.
What can Tessa test?
Tessa tests Android and iOS apps, web applications, and desktop targets you explicitly enable — from Electron apps to classic Java desktop software. Targets run on physical devices, local or remote virtual devices, and browsers.
Do scenarios require code or selectors?
No. Scenarios use natural-language preconditions, steps, and expected outcomes. Tessa drives the target through its available accessibility and automation tools instead of asking testers to maintain selector scripts.
How does the App Map stay current?
Observations from Tessa runs, deterministic replays, and Tessa Assistant explorations are folded into the App Map. Tessa groups stable screens, records transitions, and recalculates coverage gaps from the observed state.
Can we use our own AI provider?
Yes. With Tessa Cloud, connect your own API key for a supported AI provider. With Tessa Sovereign, connect a supported provider or OpenAI-compatible endpoint inside your deployment.
Can Tessa run inside our infrastructure?
Yes. The server, browser UI, and executors can be deployed in your environment, with application data scoped by organisation.
Can we take our data with us?
Yes, with one click. An organisation owner can export the complete organisation at any time: scenarios with their version history, test plans, schedules, the App Map, settings, integrations, members, and full reports including screenshots, logs, and recordings — one ZIP archive of machine-readable JSON. The export works in every organisation state, even after you cancel.
Does Tessa support enterprise SSO?
Enterprise single sign-on is part of the Enterprise plan and of Tessa Sovereign. Solo and Team use Google or GitHub sign-in.
Is Tessa Sovereign suitable for FINMA-regulated environments?
Tessa Sovereign is designed for them: services, test data, and evidence remain on customer-controlled infrastructure, and a self-hosted AI endpoint allows the deployment to be configured for fully internal operation. This is an architecture claim, not FINMA certification or approval; final compliance depends on the institution's configuration and controls.
Does Tessa integrate with GitHub or GitLab?
Yes. Install the Tessa GitHub App, or connect GitLab with an access token (gitlab.com or self-managed), and Tessa drafts issues from failed runs, comments on the existing issue when a failure reproduces, and flags a run as a regression when a closed issue's failure returns. You can also let Tessa open, comment on, and close issues autonomously; every action is documented on the issue with its reason.
How does the free Tessa Cloud trial work?
Open the sign-up page and sign in with Google or GitHub. Your workspace is provisioned automatically within a minute, no credit card required. Connect your own API key for a supported AI provider and use Tessa Cloud free for 14 days on the Team plan. When the trial ends, choose Solo or Team and add your card in the billing portal; from then on your organisation is billed monthly, including VAT. Without a card, nothing is charged.
What does Tessa Cloud cost?
Tessa Cloud has two plans, billed monthly and including VAT: Solo for one person with one project and one parallel run, and Team for up to six people with unlimited projects and unlimited parallel runs. The current prices are in the plan table above. Both include unlimited own executors and devices, your own AI provider key, EU hosting, and cancellation at any time; there are no credits, no run limits, and no per-device fees. Enterprise, with custom seats, enterprise SSO, and a cloud device fleet on request, and Tessa Sovereign, self-hosted in your own infrastructure, are priced individually.
How many people can use Tessa?
Every person who can sign in to your organisation's workspace counts. Solo is for one person, Team includes up to six people, Enterprise is custom, and Tessa Sovereign has no limit.
What counts as a project?
A project is one application you test with Tessa, with its own scenarios, test plans, runs, targets, and App Map across Android, iOS, web, and desktop. Solo includes one project; Team, Enterprise, and Tessa Sovereign have unlimited projects.
Where is Tessa Cloud hosted?
Solo and Team are hosted in the EU and operated by Ernst & Conte; Enterprise can be hosted in the EU or in Switzerland. Application data is isolated per organisation. Tessa Sovereign runs in your own infrastructure.
What evidence does a run preserve?
Reports include scenario-step results, expected and observed behaviour, screenshots, run metadata, and application logs: Android logcat, iOS console output, or web console output. A recording of the run can be enabled as well.
